The only people in the world who can look own their nose at people about sausage are south africans, and as a rule Australians barely tolerate saffas, so this is a big statement.

Didn't you know we had orange grass up in Wisconsin?

Growing up on a farm/ranch as a kid the orange cheese in the stores really grossed me out. When I was around 21 I met a Guy from Russia, turned out we became pretty good friends. Long story short. He work in a cheese factory and told me the orange color comes from carrot juice.

+1 That was easily the worst food I had ever eaten. I ordered off the translated menu a, "Pork Trodder" thinking pork hind quarter cut of meat... Nope like a nasty steak with what tasted and looked like rubber bands and a grey substance inside. It looked tasty when it came until they set it down and it jiggled! Imagine sitting across from the GasGas execs and trying not to throw it up!

The food I had in France was good because I only ordered steak, burgers and pizza. Mark was the brave one!

We were staying at at Holiday Inn and planned to have breakfast at the McDonald's next to the HI. We were shocked to find they were not open for breakfast. But when they were open they served beer!

It's possible stinky guy could have been doing one of those 30-40hr marathon flight 1/2 way around the world, with Atlanta to ? being the last leg. I recently flew Toronto to Melbourne AU and back about a month later; about 30-35 hours travel each way. Not hard to get a bit ripe by the end of those trips...especially with the limitations in carry on(thank you, DHS!), it's harder these days to freshen up at a layover if your luggage is in check.
Or, he could just be a pig........
