So I was in Thousand Oaks, California tonight...
I have to admit, I am disappointed in their marketing ploy. I counted 998 oaks, and I counted them 5 times just to make sure. I suppose you could call it poetic license. Or maybe the ghost of Ronald Reagan (his corpse isn't far from there) took the 2 missing oaks because as he once said, "If you've seen one tree, you've seen 'em all." And no, I am not making that quote up, sadly.

Anyway, I had the Best. Sushi. Ever. with a good friend, and I am telling you, my culinary horizons were busted wide open! :9

So if you're ever in Nine-Hundred and Ninety-Eight, I mean, THOUSAND Oaks, look up Yomama Sushi on Hillcrest. Tell 'em the Zomby sent ya! (And watch them look at you like you are out of your mind)

You know the old saying... "Don't eat anything less than an hour before it was swimming!" :D

11. So many kinds!
I am convinced now that very few people have had the GOOD kind out of all the varieties! :D

That being said, we Californicators will eat anything! :bounce: :hi:

13. Hey Zomby!
I could LIVE on sushi. Seriously. LOVE it. We're lucky to have lots of fab sushi restaurants up here in the Santa Cruz area, too.

I always go for the lo-salt soy sauce, How 'bout you?
:hi:

Maybe you miscounted the number of oak trees cuz you was drinkin' too much sake! :9

18. Until I go there myself
I have NO IDEA.

I suspect that too, is a cheap ploy to draw people who compulsively count the trees in city names. :crazy:
