Just stupid

[zzapp the witch]

Titanic sucks. I haven't seen it all (wouldn't be caught dead), but caught the ending right as Leo dies. Cheered for the TV and got glared at by everyone, until I asked when the stupid chick was gonna bite it, too, THEN I had things thrown at me.

So, apparently there's more than 5 that don't like it.......





Wanna know a secret?

I also cheer for Darth Vader. That started about 20 years ago when I was trying to piss off my brothers.

The Czech word for coffee is "kava". The word for tea is "caj" (pronounced "chai"). I once dealt with a new acquaintance who asked, very loudly (in that all-foreigners-are-deaf tone) for chai tea at an Indian restaurant. I told her that data masala tea is the equivalent. This woman claimed to have lived in many different countries, but she still talked to everyone as if they were deaf and not very intelligent.

I cut the acquaintance short when she called me up and asked if she could move in with me while she was waiting for a new place to open up.

Was she English, by any chance?

d. I tried asking bartenders if they knew the drink that James Bond liked.

Where a traditional martini is Gin and Vermouth, a James bond martini is made with Vodka and vermouth. Plus, by having it shaken, it bruises the alcohol and makes the taste stronger.

No, American. Seems like I'm always running into loud American tourists. They try to latch on to me - "'Scuse me? 'Scuse me? 'Scuse me?"

I walk on by and pretend I don't speak English. Hey, if you don't speak the language of the country you're visiting, buy a phrasebook. Don't expect everyone to hold your hand once you're there.

Titanic = one of the most pointless movies EVER. You know exactly how the bloody thing's going to end.

Tearooms = blasphemy to sell coffee!! Nasty gunk. Tea is the lifebloooood...

2. Weren't the *real* people on that ship of any interest, or at all worthy of being remembered?

To be fair, they do have a portrayal of Molly Brown, who I believe IS a real person.

I like your siggy.

[Eireann]

She was. She was known as the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown, since she survived the Titanic disaster.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't totally sure.

I read too much, and things get jumbled together sometimes.
