Actually we went to Niagara Falls and didn't need one. You just need a drivers license and a birth certificate.

Gang, please stay on topic. Thank you, sirs! Have a great time!

I dunno, wondering how Goofball got to Foster's seems a perfectly on-topic thing to talk about...

(and its a pleasant change from the usual tone of the conversation in here)

I mentioned Eurotrish because apparently, while she was given up for adoption and didn't get there herself, her family sent her all the way to another continent just to get her to Foster's. Which supports the "Foster's is one-of-a-kind" theory. How Goofball walked/hitchhiked/whatever to Foster's from Canadia is another question altogether.

It's entirely possible that the Canadians smuggled him in, just to get him out of Canada.

Seriously, I have no idea how he got here, none at all. My best guess is that he was simply lost.

Sparky · 11-15-2006, 09:37 PM

And don't you think Eurotrish's family might have sent her to an American IF home instead of one in Europe simply to get her as far away as possible?

Eurotrish could have been imagined by a Europhile...

Goofball might have just wound up on one of those poorly-named trains going from that place, up there, with the bacon... and made his way to Fosters from the train station.

Goofball probably did it "hobo" style - look for an empty boxcar and made his way into it, then played a harmonica all the way until he wound up at Foster's. I know that is far-fetched, but think of the possibilities!

It's been a while since I last went to Canada, but most of the border is completely unguarded. Yes, there are checkpoints at all road crossings, and you'll need ID (in fact, they're going to start requiring passports to visit Canada...this may have already happened, actually), but there are miles and miles of border with no guards or fences at all. Goofball could have wandered over quite easily.

Touche. I never even thought of that.
