/hugs you

Think of Cambridge, man. Think happy thoughts.

...I think Rome has enough entertainments that he needs to forgo the belly dancing

There's no place like intellectual snobbery, there's no place like intellectual snobbery~ *clicks heels*

He would have been so into it, though. XD

Hahahahahahaha. Oh my god. I love your snark. I love your play layout for this post. I love everything.

minuiko March 5 2010, 05:26:32 UTC

I even love the culturally ignorant girl because she provides the lulz.

wizzard890 March 5 2010, 05:30:39 UTC

I don't mind cultural ignorance, I guess, but, I mean. I corrected her. And yet she would not yield. Just, like. WOMAN, STAND DOWN. I IMPLORE THEE.

That generally tends to be the case, most people are always so sure they're right. The only thing that could be better than this post is witnessing it IRL.

Next time tell her that your company simply doesn't have the resources to research accurate Italian belly dancing, and would appreciate it if she could bring in clear examples with photographic evide--I mean references and articles out of historical journals to explain how they did it. For accuracy, of course. She can take her time.

wizzard890 March 5 2010, 05:53:06 UTC

Or just be like, "Break it down girl. Show me how the Italians do it! I'll even put my iPod on shuffle!"

So thanks, I had this crack flash through my brain XD djsoliloquy March 5 2010, 06:47:45 UTC

ROME: *thoughtfully stroking chin bristles* Yeah, belly dancing! Now that's a thing. You know what, you totally have the figure for belly dancing. By which I mean you should belly dance. Right now.

GERMANIA: *stares*

ROME: More midriff!

GERMANIA: Get away from me.

...And that's around when Germania developed this sporadic facial tick.

With This Crack, You Have Bought Your Freedom If I Catch You In Flashlight Tag. wizzard890 March 5 2010, 07:00:10 UTC

I fucking love you. XD

ROME: "Put your hips into it, Germania!"

GERMANIA: "I have a sword, you know."

Perhaps you could call it...Le wiiiiiinn~

scribblefish March 5 2010, 06:49:53 UTC

Wow. Just... wow.

I love how she tried to push her side when you corrected her.

wizzard890 March 5 2010, 07:01:11 UTC

I was not even a bitch about it! Like. Bellydancing is a totally Middle Eastern thing. Let them own it! XD
