Cinema is Dope

Some Irish slang I learned while in Dublin, Ireland was “gawditouddabottle.” Which translates as (if you say it really fast like the Irish): “got it out of a bottle.” This phrase is in reference to any female that dyes her hair to a color other than her natural color. Apparently natural redheads are in growing short supply in Ireland with most you see on the streets having… you guessed it - “gawditouddabottle.” Oddly enough most of the natural redhead girls I saw in Ireland had all dyed their hair bleach blonde.

In Dublin, Ireland standing room only in bars takes on a whole new meaning. Most popular bars are so filled with people that as you move around you might as well be playing a group game of Twister. Seriously… as I went into each bar I felt I was breakdancing just to try and snake my way past people to the bar. There was no room at all to move. Then it finally dawned on me that the only way to get beer in this town was — CROWD SURFING TO THE BAR BABY! If you can’t crowd surf, you definitely aren’t getting a beer in this town. So as a PSA please have your crowd surfing skills in peek form before taking a trip to a Dublin bar. Thankyouverymuch-o.

Where else in the world would you expect to find the Alamo? How about a restaurant in the temple bar area of Dublin, Ireland that offers up what it considers to be the best Mexican food in town (and some Tex-Mex). If only they had offered Shiner beer there… shrug.

Walking in Dublin in the Temple Bar area, not only will you find street peddlers but you will also find HORROR peddlers! Gasp. The game is to see if you can tip them change without the horror peddlers scaring the living crap out of you. Take this horror peddler for example. His art of horror is standing completely motionless and posed a top a suspicious looking box. As people pass by he suddenly hits the box with his foot generating a loud crashing noise followed by a sudden shift into a lurching beast from hell pose. This alone scares the crap out of anyone not paying attention. For those that have already been scared or have been watching all along the main game is to see if you can approach his box and put money in his money box without him scaring the living crap out of you. Each time someone would come forward to put money in the horror peddler would routinely change up when and how he scared them. I didn’t see a single person that tipped the horror peddler that didn’t jump. They knew it was coming but the horror peddler still scared again and again and again. Performace art horror pays.

Have you ever used a toilet and wondered… “what if, what if, what if, what if, whatif, WHATIF?… a toilet also had a super flush?” Well in Dublin and throughout most of Europe they are already ahead of you. Most all hotel toilets and some public ones you will find two flushing options. The first option is indicated by a smaller circle which basically means - for when ya’ ain’t done much. The second option is, THE SUPER FLUSH - for when ya’ done too damn much.
