SO U MOVING TO HSTNGS! PACK A AMPULE OF ANTIVENOM AND A FACK FULL OF EMINEM

It was AWESOME

I wish I was made of money so we could have just kept going

I want him to go back, have the zany adventures, and have the rest of us be randomly joining him so that we create a posse of ridiculous gaijin with HSTNGS connections.

Later this should become a cult film of some kind.

Our spouses/partners should all be along, making witty side commentary.

would join

I hate that we are not making this happen somehow!!!

I am in Duluth, so I am doing my part?

I don't want to do this, but I'm going to say yes. Just be sure to toss off a few random Japanese phrases before you come home.

My favorite is "Sha-waa o obimasu." ("I'm taking a shower.")

hey guys, wanna go to Phuket

Phuket, why not?

yay

one step closer to my life goal of recreating key scenes from The Beach

I call punching the shark and not getting bitten by the shark and getting dragged into the forrest to die alone in horrible agony.

I call running through the tall grass high pretending I'm in a Super Mario Brothers game

...right before you pop up out of the grass and growl at your friends to get them killed

man, what a ridiculous movie

Yeah, but I loved that movie. I can't defend it, but I loved it.

oh me too, I mean it is exactly the right type of ridiculous

Crap, I have never even heard of that movie! I hope I can still get a part in Phuket.

It's an OK movie. I never actually recommend it to anyone because there are probably hundreds of other worthy movies one should see. It's kind of a fantasy movie built around the chauvinism and limits of being a tourist, and the un-sustainability of planned communities. I feel like if I spend any more time treating it critically, I'm wasting my time.

Still, it was a fun ride. Most people are meh. I was woo-hoo!

^^^ exactly OTM

it is probably my favorite DiCaprio movie aside from possibly The Departed exactly for the reasons AP mentions

I still love Gilbert Grape, but The Beach is the only movie in which Dicaprio feels like a natural fit.

ha very OTM

Interesting. I always forget that DiCaprio can actually act because he's so damn pretty that it just distracts me. Kind of like Brad Pitt.

(I think we know I don't care for pretty men, right? I mean, I'm sure they are nice and all, but I often forget that they might be interesting or talented.)

lol

RIP pretty men

it's realy sad, they were pretty

A nurse practitioner friend of mine was telling me a horrific/hilarious story about a supervisor on his floor at a previous hospital job who was having a fit because the receptionist wasn't at her desk one morning at 9:00; when the receptionist did show up, she (a black woman) was wearing a head wrap because he hair wasn't done and the supervisor lit into her on the floor in front of everyone and ended with the line "... and who do you think you are with that hair wrap, Aunt Jemima?"

Obv this created an HR shitstorm that led to the supervisor delivering the following apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you Aunt Jemima; you looked more like Mrs. Butterworth."

I mean, seriously

oh my god

basically

Mrs. Butterworth doesn't have a wrap.

my response was "Mrs Butterworth is darker than Aunt Jemima"

my response was the Lurch sigh

does anyone here know larry spooner?

omg that is the most amazing story I have ever heard

I don't think I shared the ridiculous practice NCLEX (nursing boards) question I ran across where basically the right answer was to advise a black woman not to shampoo her hair every day because her scalp might get dry.

(I have no idea where they were going with that question, seriously, but how culturally incompetent would that comment be coming from a white lady who knows zero about how African-American women take care of their hair?!)

COLD KRUSH CUTS IS ON SPOTIFY

also last weekend some friends were in town for their 15-year college reunion and I heard a painfully hilarious story from one woman about her time as a resident tutor when a kid in her entryway got so wasted at a finals club party that he shat himself, but instead of throwing away his pants he decided to dump them in a utility sink and set them on fire

ahaha. that beats the naked man in bathroom flushing soiled pants down toilet story.

the best part was that he was in a suite with a fireplace but decided that the fireplace would be a terrible place to set something on fire

the utility sink underneath the smoke detector, on the other hand...

I need to draw attention away from my soiled pants. I'll set them on fire!

welcome to the Ivy League

man, I love people. so many of them are crazy as hell

to be fair, in a purely utilitarian sense if i was the dude that lived there, i would rather someone threw their shat pants into my utility sink instead of my goddamn fireplace.

but would you then expect that person to set said pants on fire, is the real question

look i lived with AP for years

I think the combination of shit and fire might be a little much, even for you, Scurvy. I don't care who you lived with, even AP!

tbf when jjjusten was my roommate there was plenty of shit that should have been set on fire.

let's remember that we're talking about dorms and not apartments

with fire places and utility sinks?
