Brain Drops XII: Prague Edition

September 26th, 2010 by Joel Leave a reply »

Lots of random thoughts pop into my head while I’m traveling. Here are a few from the past week:

————————

I visited the site of Prague’s greatest tragedy today. On April 27, 2004, Steven Sommers marched into the city to film Van Helsing at the Charles Bridge. Years later, the city has only now begun to heal, especially after taking another terrible blow when he returned to film GI Joe.

A car named Ibiza should not be a modest sub-compact. It needs flashing lights, bright colors and house music for its horn. It drunkenly swerves all over the road when you’re trying to drive, but on the positive side, it’ll run all night with a couple cans of Red Bull.

“Anyone up for a game of ring toss?”

The Herna casino bars in Prague have a stench of despair emanating from them. It’s like how your pee smells funky after eating asparagus. It doesn’t smell good, but you can’t stop yourself from continuing to sniff it and then wonder why it’s like that.

Okay, I get that a Fleshlight is a recent invention, but do you have to do that to the poor dead lion?

A Czech woman told me that the women here drink beer to make their boobs bigger. If that’s true, then going to Oktoberfest next week will certainly be filled with a lot of wonderful mammaries. I know that’s an awful joke, but it was the breast I could come up with.

Since Run DMC retired, Russian gangstas are the sole target market for shiny Adidas track suits.

“Hi, can you tell me how to get to Prague Castle?”

I saw the Pope on TV traveling through London. It’s amazing that someone so old still has the strength in him to toss candy to the crowd lining the street. My favorite are the candy necklace rosaries but the Lolly-popes and Crucifixie Stix are pretty tasty, too.

  1. Please tell me you plan on buying a t-shirt that says “Czech Me Out.”

      No room in the luggage for any more clothes, or I totally would.

      But I did tell a hooker who propositioned me at a bar that “I don’t accept Czechs.” I don’t think she got the joke.

      Thanks Gray – glad to know you’re enjoying them. It’s interesting – the more I travel, the more challenging it is to think that way. I’ve become accustomed to the unfamiliar so I have to push my brain to still maintain the naivete aspect!

  3. OK, I literally laughed out loud! I love your sense of humour!
