Evil Piazzas

Jan 20, 2007 23:32

So Piazzas are evil. There should be some sort of picture next to a dictionary definition that states such a thing. In the course of my entire stay in Italy, I have gotten lost every single day thanks to the these oh so aesthetically pleasing and utterly evil contraptions. I can hear you now, "What do you mean? They are so pretty, a social hub." ( Read more... )

It sounds like you're having a wonderful time, despite the evil.

Now that you've been to Rome, can you confirm my theory that it is built on a hellmouth?

lolz. Haven't been to Rome yet but I shall arrive in the city tomorrow and test your hypothesis. Results of the hellmouthyness of Rome shall be forthcoming.

And just out of curiosity, how was said theory derived?

Roflmao! I was halfway done reading your post and thought to myself, "Gee I should ask Specks if she took one of those dorky 'I'm holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa!' photos," and no sooner had I thought it than I read the rest of your post and discovered your penchant for touristy nonsense. Hooray! Hope you're having fun!

Also, I misread your entry title as "Evil Pizzas." We know that can't be true...there's nothing evil about pizza. Delicious, delicious pizza...

Hee! Pizza is most definitely not evil. The sauce and pizzas here are like heaven. As is, of course, the Gelato. And yes, I admit it, I am a complete and total dork. But I would like to clarify that instead of holding it up, I was trying to topple the tower. Much more fun that way. *evil grin* How are you and the sniffles?

Sniffles are all gone, thank God. I was hit twice -- once over New Year's and again two weeks later. Same exact symptoms. Now I want to go get an MRI just to make sure I don't have some horrible weird illness.

Have you ever read David Sedaris? In one of his esays he recounts how he spied a basketful of fake eyeballs at a toy store with a sign that read, "Please do not hold eyeballs up to real eyes." He said the checkout guy rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, everyone thinks they're being soooooo original when they do that. It never fails." David recalled feeling embarassed and slightly disgusted with himself because, until he saw the sign, his first instinct was to hold the play eyeballs up to his own eyes. That's the first thing I thought of when I read about your Leaning Tower experience. And you're not a dork -- I would have totally done the same thing.
