DeadFatDuckFat posted:Edit: wait, I'm a moron that didn't read the OP completely To go into a little more detail on your original question, Yapese food is a lot of root crops, starchy fruits, seafood, crab, leafy greens - but it's been heavily influenced by US imports, specifically canned foods and fatty meats. Things like turkey tails, which there was a flap about a decade ago when Samoa tried to ban them but the WTO strong-armed them into acceptance again, have become part of the diet, though not without consequences. China and the Philippines have been influencing the local diet as well. So you'll have traditional foods alongside BBQ'd turkey tails, Calrose rice and a case of Budweiser, with everyone chewing betelnut (like a nicotine buzz, except your teeth turn red). Chicken and spare ribs also are popular items.

Donated $25.00. We better see some fuckin smiles on faces or I'm going to Yap and talk to each and every person on that island to listen to their story. And then I'm going to spend my time walking trails, snorkeling, fishing, walking beaches, watching canoe festival, etc.

I got an email, I guess the guy wants to thank each and every person who donated and would I be willing to give him my real name (no) by connecting on facebook (also not)? It's very nice of him and I am not offended but what is the best approach since we're still keeping this all secret, do we just not reply and leave him baffled, or...?

I got this too. Who does he think I am; 'facebook' indeed. I'm a nigerian prince with a fortune to distribute, but for some insane reason no-one ever replies to my emails anyway.

The lights have arrived  Shipping costs were huge, probably no way he gets anything close to what he wanted if he didn't make his goal. quote:Christmas Lights are Here!!!!! Can't wait to see this up. Again, thank you to all the goons that donated.
