Re: New Poll Ideas
Do you mean serious things like: "What grammar points should be covered next in the lessons?"
or silly getting-to-know-each-other things like: "What's your favorite kind of sushi?"

Re: New Poll Ideas
What about writing your posts in the second person?
Re: New Poll Ideas
I suppose anything would be better than nothing, but it would need 4-6 choices for the answer. I would rather not get too silly, but sushi is fair game.Do you mean serious things like: "What grammar points should be covered next in the lessons?"

Re: New Poll Ideas
Tony thinks writing in third person is cool. But Tony is like that. Tony needs professional help.

Re: New Poll Ideas
Chikara finds people that write in the third person very annoying. Chikara is currently very annoyed with himself.
Don't complain to me that people kick you when you're down. It's your own fault for lying there
Re: New Poll Ideas
Clay thinks it is hard to believe that 83% of those responding to the above poll really mean that.
Let's go with the sushi idea. What are the top 5-6 kinds of sushi? Inarizushi... (Clay likes inarizushi)
EDIT: Clay thinks Chikara (probably) voted and now the poll is at a more reasonable 71% (whew)

Re: New Poll Ideas
Actually I LOVE おいなりさん too, but sine they're so easy to make at home, I never bother to get them when I go out to the local sushi-go-round.
By the way, what does everyone else call 回転寿し in English? I call it sushi-go-round and I'm trying to spread the term to my friends, but what other English variations are there?
Edit: I would go with cucumber roll for かっぱ巻き. I've actually met some Japanese people who didn't know why it was called かっぱ巻き.

Re: New Poll Ideas
The poll hasn't been up 10 seconds and amazingly there is already one vote for inarizushi. Hmmm...

Re: New Poll Ideas
And one vote for たまご as well. I wonder who that could have been.

What, no カリフォルニアロール

Re: New Poll Ideas
I think they are different kinds of eels. Let's check:
WWWJDIC says :
穴子; 海鰻(oK) 【あなご】 (n) garden eel; conger eel (esp. the common Japanese conger, Conger myriaster)
鰻 【うなぎ】 (n) (uk) eel (esp. the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica)
