The Attention Deficit Disorder Thread

Slurp? Lick? Nibble?

 

Did I give you permission to go to bed, mokko? I don't think so.

 

Wasn't trying to correct you, just thought that was interesting. Especially about the Mardi Gras floats. Seen a lot of them, including the museum. I love New Orleans. I think I'm gonna move back there.

Take care dood.

 

I once had to make a life-sized pappmaché tree for work. A fucking tree!!!

 

We just had our version of Mardi Gras, including parades and floats, on Monday.

 

I should've got pics of the chocolate bonsai tree, was very cool (and tasty looking). I'll take some pics of the Easter eggs in the next day or two. That patisserie is just amazing.

Did it included lots of drunken amateurs puking all over the streets? It's not an authentic Mardi Gras without that particular sideshow.

 

We have stupid God festivals where a bunch of illiterates buy a highly priced statue of a god......then parade on the streets to go dump it in the ocean.....they walk....screaming and shouting with loudspeakers playing religious songs while the other people dance (the people here are not necessarily with the group implied.....sometimes they are just random road people who see a group dancing and decided to dance along).......they dance all the way to the beach.....stop there....litter profusely.....then dump the god statue (painted in toxic colours often) into the ocean.....turn around.....go home.......while curious fish come and nibble on the statues inject the coulouring......and die painfully.....the tide washing their bodies back to shore.....where a lazy fishermen in his loincloth underwear picks them up and sells them by the road side.

 

Ohhhh yes.

 

We don't have that here.....but they do pee on the streets....so that makes up for it I suppose.

 

I swear Jack, I don't think I've ever seen someone that hates the place they live more than you.

 

Well I guess I could be like everybody else.....


I live in a third world country - that's not important let's dance!!!

There is garbage everywhere - that's not important let's dance around the garbage!!

The education system teaches you nothing - that's okay.....more room in brain for dance dance then!!

The cops are corrupt and useless - that's okay.....that means we can dance on the streets without getting arrested!!

The state of hygiene in the country is atrocious - that's okay....that's not important for dancing anyway.

There are 748565875 Gods that we believe in - that's okay.....that's 748565875 reasons to dance!!!

The population keeps on and on increasing - that's okay....more people to dance with!!!!


This is how the average Indian mind works.

 

Maybe so, I don't know. The only dealing I have are folks that are out-sourced for EMC for HW and SW support. I've yet to run into one that wasn't VERY intelligent. Most of them were very hard to understand because of their accents but somehow we worked through it. Been a couple other apps that out sourced their support that I've worked with folks from India too.

 

You really have to come here and live here to really get a sense of what I mean.

 

I've seen the pictures you've posted before. I just find it hard to believe the entire country is that way. Surely what you've pointed out is the worst areas right?

 

:hi: Hi Jack!

(and hi again Bama :biglaugh: )

 

The entire country is that way....there is just a class divide between the rich and the poor........so if you go to the rich areas you'll feel like you're in a better country.....but the you turn a corner and you're in slums....also the garbage etc. isn't the only thing it's the basic mindset of the people....including their morals and beliefs and views.....which obviously you can't really spot from the outside.

 

Hi Spider.

 

Is there a solution to India's problems?

 

Cya laters, gotta run to class!
