Cousins, best friends, roomates...

As cousins, best friends and current roommates in Taipei, Taiwan... this blog chronicles the everyday happenings of our (incredibly exciting) lives, providing us with an excuse to talk about ourselves, an opportunity to look busy when we need to, and more importantly to remind us of the jokes we keep forgetting.

Don't drink and blog...

So it's 4:38am and I am still up after a night of drinking regular coke at Luxy.  I was pondering the many reasons why not to drink alcohol and decided to do an internet search on the topic.  Among many good reasons, I also found this gem:

"I think people should never drink and drive many healthy and young people have lost there lives do to dinking and drinking!"'

So true... soooooo true.

Murse or satchel?

Looking at a profile on Plentyoffish.com...

Alison:  Ok, take a look at this picture and tell me... is this a 'murse'?
Claire:  Oh... that's a tough one.  It's like a cross between a 'murse' and a fanny pack.
Alison:  I think it might be a satchel.
Claire:  Yeah... haha... Indiana Jones has one.  Send me that picture and I'll send it to a friend of mine. 
Alison:  Ok, why?
Claire:  He's a man-bag expert. He bought a Prada 'murse' in Italy... we teased him MURSEilessly about it...
Alison:  Hahaha....
Claire:  (Falling over from laughter) bahahahaaaa....

A Cup of Drink

Seen on random dating website profile:
"Ideal First Date - A Cup of Drink"

Claire:  What the hell is a "cup of drink"?
Alison:  It's better than a cup of food...
Claire:  ...or cup of shit...
Alison:  Yeah I was going to say that. 
Claire:  ... or cup of cement...
Alison:  It's better than a cup of bread...
Claire:  Cup of bread!! I LOVE cup of bread!!
Alison:  Me too!
Claire:  And it's better than "plate of drink" too.  You have to be quick with that one...

Train Number 2

On the way to HsinChu:
Claire:  Is there a toilet nearby?  I don't want to... you know... use train number two.
Alison:  Yeah... that would be unfortunate.

On the way back:
Claire:  Thank god I didn't have to use train number two.
Alison:  Yes but you did use train number one.
Claire:  Yeah totally... I rode that one a lot tonight.

Wood Chipper

Watching CSI one night...
Alison:  Ew, ew, ew... I could never kill myself in a wood chipper.
Claire:  Would you rather die in a fire or in a wood chipper?
Alison:  Well, in a fire I guess, because you'd die from smoke inhalation.
Claire:  But what if you didn't... what if you were, like, IN the fire.
Alison:  What d'you mean?  Don't people always die from the smoke?
Claire:  Well, the smoke is, like, at the top... and you're, like, at the bottom.  IN the fire.
Alison:  You mean like if you jumped into a camp fire?
Claire:  Yeah, like if you were a witch.
Alison: Hmmm... I'd really rather not die.
Claire:  Yeah, I guess.  Especially if you had to go feet-first into the wood chipper...
