Sri
Lanka Tourism
Could
he have been from FURTHER AWAY? Really, what do these guys
want? What would I have in common with him? "Oh, you're from
Sri Lanka. I have a coffee mug that was made there!"
Lorina:
EW... Life Partner... that's an icky word. Uh... you rarely
hear that used for STRAIGHT couples... Maybe Emmanuel is Emmanuelle.
At least that would make this
more interesting. God, that last name... is that this dude's
name or a medication? And I thought MY last name was bad!
Yikes!
Fritz:
When I saw that guys' name, I was laughed so hard that I fell
out of my chair!
The
first thing that popped into my head was Apu from The Simpsons.
What the hell was his last name? Hasipitipetalon, or something
like that?!
Sri
Lanka? That's exactly...EXACTLY the other side of the world.
No matter which way you go, it'll take the same amount of
time to get there. Remember in the old days, in the cartoons,
they would dig a hole through the the Earth and come out in
China? I think if we did that, we'd come out in Sri Lanka.
In fact, it'd be easier for you to meet him if we DID dig
a hole through the Earth. Whataputz.
Cindy:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Sri Lanka...Well...that's a little more
than a hop, skip & jump... Is he going to move here or
are you gonna move there...I mean, if you are going to be
his life partner... you should probably be in the same time
zone... Yeah... life partner is an icky "handle"...
I prefer the term "bud"...And of course, there are
different types of buds... or buddies... Sorry, I digress...
Back to Sri Lanka.... Here's some scoop to make your decision
a little easier...
Land
Mass: Island of 25,300 square miles (Relative to size of West
Virginia or Ireland)
Given the choice of Sri Lanka or West Virginia...I'd take
Sri Lanka...West Virginia... reminds me of Mountain Mommas....
Global
Location: Indian Ocean just south of India
I wonder if you need to wear a dot on your head if you live
there....And if you do wear a dot, do you get to pick the
color of your dot? I like red alot...hope that color's not
reserved for virgins...
Population:
18 million w/ diverse ethnic backgrounds
Distribution of Cultures: 75%=Sinhalese, 18%=Tamil, 6%=Muslim,
1%=other ethnic groups
This is scary...out of all of these, I have only heard of
Muslim...that's just 6%...what the fug are these others???
Wonder if cows are sacred there...I would miss my Royale w/
Cheese....
Main
Language: Tamil and Sinhala (English as second language)
Since I haven't heard of these two, I'll probably be able
to get by - somewhat...but ya know...I haven't even seen a
translation program on the net that does Sinhala or Tamil....
Main
Industy: Tourism
Not bad...I can dig tourism...Wonder what our area's main
industry is? Medical care of old people?
Tourism
Offerings: Surfing, wind surfing, scubadiving, rock/mountain
climbing, search for ancient ruins, exotic flowers, sculptures,
artwork, wildlife, coral reefs, rituals
I was enjoying this list...until I ended the list with "rituals"....
Witchcraft? Human Sacrifices? Hmmmmmm....maybe this isn't
such a good idea.
Minerals:
Gold, gemstones, spices
What....no coal? What ever would I get in my Christmas stocking?
Nevermind...I'm sticking to "Made in the USA"
Lorina:
I don't know... all those rituals and other attributes Sri
Lanka has to offer... I might just have to take up Kamalamadingdong
on his offer... Especially this part:
Distribution
of Cultures: 75%=Sinhalese, 18%=Tamil, 6%=Muslim, 1%=other
ethnic groups
I
don't know a thing about it, but I wanna convert to Tamil.
Being so (tossing hair) utterly beautiful and sexy, I wonder
if that would make me a Hot Tamili???
Of
course if Kama-kama-kama-kama-kama-chameleon were to move
here... he could always work at the Turkey Hill Minute Mart
across the street...
Ok...
I think I'm out of bad puns and ethnic slurs.
ps
Since when is a spice a mineral? I thought they were more
like condiments.
