come fly with me

another all time favorite from the brilliant and hilarious minds at daily candy. in case you're wondering if i left this for my brit lovah before we hit that 9 hour flight to heathrow to visit his family over the holidays? you're damn right, i did! thankfully, he navigated every question correctly - just long enough to distract me and get his hands on my expired passport. that aside, we were able to agree on hot italian chicks and the fact that the food is the love! what a waste of virgin in-flight entertainment and winter knickers, that would have been!

l





1. Hypothetical scenario: One of us gets bumped to first class. Who's going — you or me?

2. Complete the following: When in Rome ...
a) get wasted, dude!
b) don't miss the Spanish Steps.
c) check out those hot Italian chicks.
d) beware of panhandlers.

3. Complete the following: Guidebooks are ...
a) useful, but shouldn't be relied upon.
b) to be used in conjunction with highlighters.
c) for tourists, not travelers.
d) best used as a doorstop.

4. What exactly is your policy on carrying other people's luggage?

5. I have some extra room in my suitcase. I should pack:
a) running shoes.
b) some candles to put by the tub.
c) your handcuffs.
d) my handcuffs.
(Trick question. There is no way I'll have extra room in my suitcase, fool.)

6. Do you have a fetish for having sex in historical landmarks or national parks?

7. We're at the airport and one of us (i.e., me) gets hungry. You then:
a) tell me you'll watch the bags and send me to the nearest Pizza Hut.
b) ask me what I'm in the mood for and go looking for it.
c) suggest we find a nice place to eat, since there's a good 45 minutes before boarding.
d) take something sweet out of your pocket, because you knew I'd be hungry and that airport food is awful.

8. You've finally agreed to take me to your parents' house for a long weekend.
We get there and you:
a) introduce me to your parents, then leave me with your mother for some quality time.
b) suggest that you get the bags while I get to know your parents.
c) have your parents give me a tour of the house while you play with Rex, the family dog.
d) do not dream of leaving me alone with your parents for even one second.

9. Fill in the blank: When we get on the plane, your iPod is ___ iPod.

10. True or false: France, like any foreign country, is a place where you should be careful not to eat too much.
(False. You tell me not to eat in France, it's over.)

11. We get separated. We'll find each other at:
a) the nearest sports bar.
b) the nearest boutique hotel.
c) the nearest shoe store.

12. I will not under any circumstances try to get a look at your passport photo. ________________ (sign here)

fun with lexicons


another ditty on our fine city from the fabulous folks at daily candy. ooooh, how i love the lexicons! a couple of these have already infiltrated my usual vernacular.
