The Jough-In-Ireland Request Thread
« on: August 25, 2004, 03:07:27 am »
Okay, folks, I'm on AIM with Jough. He's safe and sound (if on primitive Internet equipment and thus unable to access the board), and he's looking to see if anyone wants anything from Ireland. The only stipulations are:

* Jough is not wealthy; and
* No alcohol or hashish. (One assumes "anything that would get him in trouble with Customs" also falls in here.)
* Also, make the request within the next nine, ten hours. The clock is ticking.

E-mail requests to jough.dempsey@gmail.com.

Me, I'm askin' for a commemorative spoon.

Greetings from the Emerald Isle!

The most advanced computer they have in the whole nation is a Pentium I.  200Mhz.

I know high technology is considered a munition and all, but Sweet Jesus Fuck is this a backwards fuck*ng country, technologywise.

Meanwhile, fuck*ng Plagiarist.com is BLOCKED from here.  WTF?  My countrymen can't access my site?  

So here I am, VNCing into my office computer and running the browser through a little remote window.  It's amazing that it works at all, of course, but damn just typing one character is so slow that I am writing messages on the local machine, pasting into a text box, and then going out for coffee (which is really GREAT here - who knew?).

Well, I probably won't get to be online again after an hour from now.  So I guess requests for cheap swag will have to end around now.

I'll buy some crap to send to anyone who wants something stupid, like a FINE PEWTER LEPRECHAUN or something like a hand towel that says "Guinness" on it or something.  

They have green hamburgers for the tourists.  fuck*ng tourists.

I asked my relations where I could find a "commemorative spoon" and they look at me as though I am insane (which is pretty much par for the course anyway) and say "Commemorating what?"

So what the HELL are you talking about, V?

(oh my god I cannot believe I am actually doing this)

Haven't you seen these things before? They're these little spoons, in various degrees of chintziness, with little plaques on the handle that show where you got them. They're fairly ubiquitous in tourist traps -- or at least in the tourist traps I frequent, anyway. But if you can't find one, don't worry. I will live without.

(this is the part where I skitter into my lair, cringing, and attempt to wash away my PULSING SHAME)

I swear I'm not just playing crazy here.  I have never seen or at least never noticed such a thing.

I did have a little spoon mounted on a board in my room growing up, with a little metal plaque glued on it that had like, Baby's First Spoon or some dipshit thing engraved on it.  It was some kind of idiotic baby shower gift from a distant relative on my mother's side.

I just always assumed it was some kind of Lithuanian tradition or something.

Fair enough. I assumed it was a fairly commonplace chintz concept, but apparently I am WRONG, HORRIBLY WRONG, MY HOPES DASHED TO THE ROCKS --

Er. Yeah. I have been proven wrong. choke, sob, etc.

If you bring me a big bag of ordinary Tetley tea bags, I will totally drop some cash in yonder tip-jar.  Apparently those limey barstids keep all the good tea for themselves, while sending their weak, reject, Slightly Irregular teabags across the pond to us.

I know I'm nobody and new on the boards and have already offended Thee with my naked gravid belly, but please?

V, he's crazy.  EVERYONE knows what those spoons are.  If you send me your address I'll send you one from Washington DC in consolation.

It's not that weird of a concept.

Or just do a google image search.

I know what you mean, V, one of my friends started ironically collecting those at one point and I bought her some exceedingly repulsive royal family ones in London.
