Talk to me Goose

[mar]

I got a show time in 23 hours.

If I sleep now, I'm screwed.

Tell me a joke, give me a riddle or a puzzle.

Call me names. Just don't let me fall asleep.

I can't handle any more tsunami on TV.

 

[jimpilot]

Don't spend to long reading here, put you to sleep in a NY minute

 

[chperplt]

I have to catch a red-eye in 18 hours so I can report in 24.. I would love to fall a sleep now and sleep through the day!

Tylenol PM my friend

Whenever I have *at least* 12 hours to kill and I need to sleep I'll take a couple Tylenol PM.

Those and a couple earplugs...works pretty good.

Good luck.

Welcome to the world of international long haul flying Mar. It sure is fun battling fatigue and trying to sleep when you are normally awake; fly when you are normally supposed to be sleeping; and eat at irregular intervals.

Where are you ? Is the sun up ? or is it night ?

Since you still have 23 hours to go my recommendation is alcohol, loud music, and women . Got to keep the image up you know.

Alcohol, loud music and women

Heh, well I already checked off one of those. I shared a bottle of wine at dinner and I think that's part of my problem.

Got back to the room and made myself a cup of that instant crap coffee...

Maybe I'll have another one before too long.

It's midnight local in Shanghai. Rainy. Blah.

 

[typhoonpilot]

One down, two to go

Well since you've got the alcohol part taken care of, we'll just have to find you some loud music and women. Sorry not familiar with the good places in Shanghai. I can give you some good pick-up lines in Mandarin though. Try these and let me know if you get slapped in the face or not .

Ni hen piaoliang = You are very beautiful

Jintian wanshang yo kung ma ? = Are you free tonight ?

Yao bu yao hwei chu wo-de fangjian ? Want to go back to my room ?

Wo hwei jyau ni yingwen = I'll teach you English

You'll have to take it from there. Chinese girls just love to learn English though .

You so funny.

Thanks for those...too bad I'm leaving!

I'm guessing you didn't learn those key phrases in a 'traditional' classroom.

P.S. I've done a little commercialing on EK. First class operation. Two thumbs up the whole way.

 

[typhoonpilot]

You can save them for the next time you are in Shanghai or other parts of China.

Thanks for the support and complements on EK. It sure is a whole different world from the domestic U.S. carriers.

Hope I've helped you stay awake a little while longer.

TP

P.S. sending you a PM

Indoor gokarts - - ask the concierge, the taxi fare should be under 3 bucks.

Longbar adjacent to the Ritz Carlton.

Starbucks - - downstairs from the Longbar.

Watch out Mar!!

Jintian wanshang yo kung ma ? = Are you free tonight ? .TP

That may be a different dialect but, in the Chinese I used to speak, I'm pretty sure that means:


"I understand you enjoy sex with animals."

[vschip]

Any luck Mar? I've got one of those fun 25 hour layovers there next Tuesday, any tips?

 

[mar]

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Surfed the web til my fingers bled.
Later watched Austin Powers instead.
And then a tsunami, thousands dead.

Tips for PVG:

Yeah, the gokarts are fun.
The shopping is good, never pay more than half.
Wear your seat belt in the taxi.

I hope you have better weather.

Sex w/ animals? I thought that was Tijuana?

G'night, mornin', whatever.

Why do you think I asked him to let me know if he got slapped in the face or not ?

Just for the record, Wo tingshou ni xihuan gen dungwu dzwo ai, would be the proper way to say the above phrase. Unfortunately I can't put the tones in, so they lose a little in the translation.

Tell me a joke, give me a riddle or a puzzle.

Remember the 1976 flic "Network?" Good movie but I doubt if you'll see it rerun on TV. I suspect television excutives are uncomfortable with the content.

Booze!

Set about 3 alarms, wake up call, and get a raging drunk going. Next thing you know, your puting your uniform on.

Hey Mar, who are you flying for?
