Aaron: kelowna has the most golf courses i have ever seen for a small city
Aaron: tell me if this makes sense
Aaron: its like a desert here, hardly any rain, 34- 40C normal temps from June - Sept
Aaron: and they hardly have any water supply, so theres always a shortage
Aaron: SO THEY BUILD 15 SOME ODD GOLF COURSES
Aaron: each one takes something like 1 million litres a day
Aaron: like dude you have to see my lawn, its not even there anymore. its just dead straw looking grass
Aaron: and lots of dirt
miklos: but the greens are nice and flourishing on the courses
Aaron: oh yeah, the courses look wonderful
Aaron: i think 2 or 3 would be good
Aaron: but what do i know...
Aaron: you should see the rich people though
Aaron: they have ponds and pools and all these stuff
Aaron: downtown looks like venice
Aaron: with waterways
miklos: so then where's the shortage?
Aaron: well, farmers dont have any water for crops haha
Aaron: they took it all from them
miklos: stupid farmers.. they're so whiny
Aaron: ponds and golf are much better

Peter: I was thinking today...
Peter: when you talk to me, your thoughts are in english, and then you translate them to hungarian
Peter: When I talk to you in english, my thoughts are in hungarian and I translate them to english
Peter: So I think it's best if you speak to me in english, and I respond in hungarian
Miklos: but my thoughts are in hungarian when I'm talking to you...
Miklos: otherwise that's not a bad idea
Peter: or the other option is that we say everything in hungarian, and then in english too
Peter: mert (because) igy mind a kettonknek (both of us) meg is kell erteni amit a masik mond (have to understand the other)

Miklos: I don't feel like a pita. Does Pita Pit make salads?

Miklos: no
Miklos: and yes it moves

Peter: Vorlons in Babylon 5 had a spaceship that was somewhat organic
Peter: this is like that
Peter: eventually cars will fully come to life, like they won't open their eyes all the way if they're tired...
Peter: they'll stretch when they wake up in the morning
Peter: then jump over the fence
Peter: and chase after cats on the street

miklos: so i put on a tie on monday, right?
miklos: and i'm like... wtf the back of this is too short to go through the little loop
miklos: so the back end of it was just hanging there
miklos: i decided to get one of my dad's tie clips to hold them together
miklos: the first thing was yelling into my sister's room "google 'tie clip proper position'..."
miklos: "two thirds of the way down"
miklos: "ok thanks"
miklos: .. i ended up not even wearing the clip
miklos: moral of the story: please don't take away google.
dave: that's nuts
dave: i don't know how people lived before google
dave: jenna and i bought rainbow trout, and didn't realize that we didn't know how to cook it until we got it home....
dave: again, google saved us
miklos: see... if it weren't for google, I'd have looked like a slob that day, and you'd probably have died of hunger.

miklos: I always like driving down by the falls, I mean it is one of the wonders of the world.
alex: I know how it happened.. no mystery.

Dave: nothing but "Play Again" from good old Tim Hortons [roll up the rim to win]
Dave: you know what they should do? if you collect 10 "Play Again"s you get a free coffee or donut
Miklos: that'd be awesome
Dave: that actually would be a smart marketing move
Miklos: you're a genius
Dave: and call the slogan "it pays to lose"

Miklos: Man, I played violin with old people all weekend long.
Matt: Umm.. that's great.. heh

Miklos: Look, there are 3 satellites by you, and 7 by me...
Alex: I'd be worried if I were you.

Peter: I bought a newspaper this morning
Peter: I wanted to read something while I was on the bus
Peter: And there was an article in there about some Chinese explorer

[Fully aware that miklos needs paperwork in order to get into USA, sarcastically]:
Matt: Why don't you start with the States?

Tom: Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in November because of something to do with harvest and God or something...
Tom: Plymouth rock...
Miklos: What's Plymouth rock?
Tom: You know, Plymouth rock.. the Pilgrims.. early settlers... There were a-hundred-and-something of them and a year later it was like 60 or something, because they died...
Tom: Christopher Columbus, etc.. You know?
Tom: They were supposed to land somewhere in Georgia but they missed their course.
Miklos: And ended up in Canada?
Tom: No.. Plymouth rock.. haha.. yeah.. it's in California!
Tom: Don't you know your geography/history man?
Miklos: I wasn't born here. I just came here and started feeding off the land.
