Antivehicular posted:On that subject, if it's not too meta for an Ask/Tell thread: what's the stupidest question a non-Alaskan has ever asked you about living in Alaska? Mine was probably the afternoon in eighth grade where some kid spent the entire bus ride home from school naming fast-food restaurants and asking if we had those in Alaska. The revelation that, yes, we had McDonald's, but no, we didn't have Runza (and what the christ is a Runza?) seemed strangely unsatisfying to her. I don't like to get in the way of REAL ALASKA talk because I'm a city slicker, but no one out of the state knows the difference, so I've managed to convince people we keep a stable of riding bears for the daily commute and that the reason I always wore my sunglasses wasn't because i'm a douche but because my alaskan eyes weren't acclimated to daylight. Sunlanders, am I right?

I think my favorite was the time I picked up a pair of german backpackers hitching back from Girdwood, and while making small talk I mentioned the termination dust was coming down early this year. They exchanged worried looks and asked if we could pull over at the next place that might have breath masks.
