my boss and i just calculated my vacation time and i'm GREECEBOUND

[xfer]

summer 2004! olympics! two weeks cruising around the islands!

one of my friend's college roommates is greek and we're going to stay with her (freeeee) and she'll also shout in Greek at hotel clerks so we only have to pay 1/5th as much when we travel!

i would say this is 90% sure to happen right now.

prepare to start bathing in olive oil

the roommate girl would always get drunk and shout about how the Greeks weren't originally greasy, Plato wasn't greasy, the fucking TURKS invaded and raped Greek women and "greased the Greeks up".

"Look at my skin! Greasy! Fucking Turks!"

 

[lizard]

yeah greeks and turks are total enemies.

 

[xfer]

hazarding a guess based on reports from Armenia and Kurdistan, i'm going to have to say the Greeks are probably less at fault in whatever age-old conflict they have than the Turks are.

 

[xfer]

i've hazarded several guesses today!

 

[avi]

get ready for more ugly and surly people just like that waitress!

 

[xfer]

greasy and moustached, too, i'm sure!

Dude, you may want to rethink your vacation plans.




I just ran "Turk" through google image search and got this result:

look, greece is definitely not a place i'm going with the purpose of hooking up. i'll be too busy philosophizing and arguing that the British Museum should hang onto the Elgin Marbles for at least another century.

 

[lizard]

but look, she has needs, and a commitmentless vacation fling could do you both some good.

 

[avi]

egads man!

 

[minxnim]

don't end up like that kid in _the magus_ !!!

 

[xfer]

what's that? explain!

 

[minxnim]

it's one of the best novels ever, plus it's like 500+ pages and i can't explain it all! either way, GO READ IT NOW!

 

[xfer]

eh, i'll get to it before summer 2004!

 

[minxnim]

i forsee you developing a new greek fetish.

 

[lizard]

and lets not forget that Greece is known as the ancient cradle of homosexuality, oiled naked men wrestling, and the isle of Lesbos.

the mind boggles!

 

[avi]

ah, the baths
