Lameass Conversations of The Week - 5

Two women, clearly mother and daughter, in line for coffee at Tim Hortons.

Daughter: "So, mom, NEVER comment on ANY of my Facebook pictures again, please!"

Mom: "But all I did was say how lovely you are looking!"

Daughter: "So. Embarrassing."

* * *

Friend 1: "So, did you bring any CDs for the drive? It's gonna take at least a couple of hours."

Friend 2: "Well, I have some Bollywood remixes in the car..."

Friend 1: "Hmmph! Bollywood remixes - what are they? A romantic lovely song periodically punctured by the sound of a gun being fired."

* * *

Have I told you how much I HATE people talking in the washroom? So I am in the stall at the mall doing my thing when this tall black person-of-African-Canadian origin guy gets in.

"So," He turns to me, while clearly starting his business, "waiting to see the Lebron James announcement tomorrow?"

"Who?" I asked him.

[a moment of pause. time slows down. birds chirp in slow motion]

"Er," He tried to continue the conversation with clearly-not-in-the-mood-to-talk me. "You don't watch the NBA, do you?"

"No," I replied. "I am not too much into hockey."

The rest of the short washroom vigil was finished in pleasant silence.

"...A romantic lovely song periodically punctured by the sound of a gun being fired." LOL

And most of these remixes are sung by people who can't sing.

"You don't watch the NBA, do you?"

"No," I replied. "I am not too much into hockey."

Hahaha! Nice, Mezba!

I think I would be intimidated by the tall black man of African-Canadian origin in the washroom stall next to me.....

@Nadia, I lament the fact that Bollywood is now so proud to have the 'answer' to Hollywood. I DON'T want Bollywood to be like Hollywood! I loved Indian movies the way they were!

And same goes for singers. Today a good voice comes second best to a slutty dressed woman. It's all gone downhill for the music scene in India. Which was the last good song I heard, that will still sound good 10 years later, can't even remember.

@Lat, haha sure of course I would join in. I like friendly people, just not in the bathroom!

@Dave, lol.

@Abu Pokemon, what about the National Bloggers' Association?

@Liya, :-)

@Shaz, the worse was once there was guy singing in the washroom at our gym while doing his thing. Perhaps I should have directed him to Bollywood!
