Well, tourists sure. Hey, you know what? Since moving to Delaware from DC? Not so much dealing with tourists. Kind of nice, that.
Poor tourists. It's not easy.

I haven't had any good tourist mocking since Prague in spring. My my my, there was so much material there.

No tourist-mocking in Kansas City. We think furriners are cool.
Does anyone know if I can watch Alias on my computer? I have NO TV reception at all -- and no cable.
Stupid fiscal responsibility.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am the worst grandchild ever: I just now packaged up my grandmother's Christmas gift. Honestly.

OK, I think I don't like the "Many Faces of Sydney Bristow" opening credits on Alias. Missed them last week. Not sure what they were before, but they didn't seem so....well, that.

From my memory of the DVDs, they were sort of slit-like, fuzzy images of stuff you couldn't really see. I liked them better, too.
Tonight's opening scene cracked me up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm going to keep making fun of tourists anywhere, though. Not the good tourists. The bad ones. That travel in mobs.
The nice thing about mocking tourists is it doesn't matter where they're from, so you can't be accused of generalizing about anything but people who act like jackasses standing arm-in-arm, four across, completely stationary with their necks craned back in the middle of a busy sidewalk during my goddamn lunch hour.

Well.... I DID generalize the mass tour groups via their nationality in Prague. Not really small groups or individuals, but the 50+ mobs that would clog up metro stations or impede my mad dash to class across the square.

What is even happening?
Having admitted this, I feel that my assertion that, e.g., Alex Rodriguez occasionally reaches for the funyuns and chows down baby brains instead, will be taken as a reasoned opinion, rather that as a stupid criticism.
Dude, A-Rod totally eats baby brains for breakfast when he's not munching on freshly minted millions. He's eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.Love it here. So much. That is all.

He must be if he gets Plei to make a baseball related post that isn't about how there's too much baseball natter.
On an unrelated note - Jess, where's your tagline from?
