When in Rome

So i get into Rome, with of course, no backpack. We immediately go sightseeing. But thats not what you want to hear about. When I get to Rome all I hear about is this bar Julius Caesar and its disco. We went to the bar that night but the disco wasn't open that night, in fact, it wasn't open the whole time we were in Rome. We drank anyway and started meeting some girls. I ended up pairing off with this mexican girl named Monica. She barely spoke any English. Chris and Brooke went home early and Jeremy and I stayed with the girls. I'm not really sure what happened from there. We might have made out, might not have. Who knows. We did meet this 50 year old guy from Australia though and Jeremy kicked this box that a homeless guy was sleeping in.

The next night we went to Campo de Fiori. This is like the tigerland of Rome. The bar where eveyone hangs out at was the drunken ship. We met a ton of people there but the drinks were somewhat more expensive and we had to take a taxi there. There are also a lot of street vendors. They keep trying to sell you roses for like 5 Euro a piece so I offered 2 cents to a guy and he threw some of the rose in my face. It was an ok night.

The rest of the week we went to Julius Caesar and hung out with these girls from Texas we met. They were pretty cool but nothing happened between us. At the end of Rome I finally got my bag and left for Ischia.

Jonno beat me to the punch, but still I would like to add to his comment.

Regarding your comment, "We might have made out, might not have. Who knows." I would like dig into this comment if we could for a second. What exactly is it that a "mexican girl who doesn't speak any english" have to do to lead you to believe that you might "make it" with her. Is it any indication of how you think of all mexican girls? Do you think they are all just waiting for some hot little americano to seduce?

I don't want to come across too sarcastic though. I know many other girls have long since fell prey to the wiles of Neil Ferrari. That being said...i would like more details.

PS. keep lettin 'em know

yo bonin,

I bet if you had been in rome, there would be no questions left as to whether or not you would have made out w/ the mexican girl. I mean, what woman could resist the worm.

later bro.

Z -
You are right about the worm, my friend. I did it like 7 countries and made out with at least 2 chicks because they were so drunk...I mean impressed. However, I would not suggest that for Neil. Have you ever seen him try? ....he looks like Flipper having a seizure.

holla Z, back from the camp. That festival was money. I am not gonna lie though I'm dissapointed that I didn't get a crab cake. You'd think that the freaking crab festival would have freaking crab cakes. I'm so glad we gave those 12 year old hicks neil's phone number. Man, I'm still cracking up about that one. Maybe they'll call him, maybe not...WHO KNOWS

i guess they felt the crab cake was overplayed. they didn't have much crab food stuff. maybe they're referring to lacombe's floor whores when they named it the crab festival

Or maybe the crab festival is for the "dirty" crowd of Lacombe. Which would explain the lack of crab to eat, and the plethora of shady ass people that were in attendance. In fact, I'm surprised we didn't see bonin there.

So I guess it's no secret, this is my favorite post. Let me highlight yet another excerpt from it. "The rest of the week we went to Julius Caesar and hung out with these girls from Texas we met. They were pretty cool but nothing happened between us." I mean really. How cool could they have been if nothing happened between yall?

Jonno, I think that is a good point your bring up. However, I believe what neil means when he says the following, is what i say following the following.

"The rest of the week we went to Julius Caesar and hung out with these girls from Texas we met. They were pretty cool but nothing happened between us."

Neil's comments make perfect sense if they are understood in the proper context. That context is that we should assume that if Neil does any "hanging out" or "meeting with" any females of any kind, then we are to assume that "something" indeed did happen.

This is because there are several forces at play here.
1.) Neil is a good looking man and lets be honest, I am impressed Neil has been able to keep the ladies off of him this long.

2.)The holiday attitude. Since Neil and co. are hitting up the tourist hot spots, it is likely that many females there also fall prey to the vacation/holiday attitude. I won't go into too much detail about any such attitude, other than to say, everyone is looking for a partner in some fashion or another.

3.) The combination of the holiday attitude and lots of alcohol.
This last force at play is somewhat of a derivative of the second force. Lets be candid. When alcohol is introduced to such a holiday environment, one thing is common amongst all....

Lower Standards


In conclusion, we should not rag Neil for making his comments that "nothing happened", but we should thank him for his clarification. So Neil, thanks for setting the record straight. Have a good one buddy.
