I think you forgot Silent Hill and Pyramid Head.

I knew I forgot something! Thank You!

I figure I should guess mythology; I wouldn't be so interested in Silent Hill if I didn't have an interest in mythology.

And your chips is our fries. I would love to work at a McDonald's or Burger King over there for one day just to ask in my most southern accent, "Would you like fries with that?"

It seems to have impacted my worldview as well since I began studying it. I'm not majoring in it, but I've loved all of the sociology classes I've taken thus far and am planning to take many more.
