Does anyone know how to clean and prep a goose for cooking?

[Help.

(Also potential skill teach if you want?)]

My name is Clark. Clark Kent.

[theshowsover]

Thank you, Mr. Kent.

[girod]

You're very welcome...

I don't suppose you'd mind sharing your name?

[theshowsover]

Sorry. Akira Kurusu.

[girod]

No apologies necessary. Communication on this network is a little odd for niceties.

[theshowsover]

Guess it's nice for people who don't want anyone to know their name though.

[Secret identities!]

[girod]

Seems more trouble than help in a small town like this.

But you're not wrong.

[theshowsover]

That's true. It's harder to stay anonymous here than in Tokyo.

[girod]

I'd say the same about here and Metropolis, my own home.

[theshowsover]

Guessing it's a big city?

[girod]

Pretty big, yeah. The City of Tomorrow, people call it.

[theshowsover]

Huh. That's pretty cool.

Is it in America? [He doesn't know much about America, except that L.A. is definitely not the capital and definitely not somewhere in the middle.]

[girod]

It is. On the East Coast, if that helps any.

[theshowsover]

A little. I've only ever been to Hawaii, though.

[girod]

That's a pretty nice place. Which island, if you don't mind me asking?

[theshowsover]

Oahu. We went to Honolulu for a class trip.

[And so many people spoke Japanese it was like he never left Tokyo.]

[girod]

Oh, that's lovely. I've been a time or two, though never often enough.

What was your favorite part of the trip?

[theshowsover]

Hanging out on the beach with my friends was pretty fun. Some of my best friends were with me, so they made the whole trip exciting.

Some of us tried to pick up girls, but my best friend was too embarrassing for it to work. [He's blaming everything on Ryuji because he isn't here to defend himself.]

[girod]

I had a friend like that. Pete was decent enough but he could say the silliest things sometimes at the worst moment.

[theshowsover]

I guess it's more common than I thought.

[girod]

I think most groups of friends have someone like that.

[ ...he's thinking of Hal. ]
