Welcome to Gaia! ::

Right, at the moment I'm slowly rehabilitating from working at the Folklife Festival(Look it up. Xo) the whole weekend. Generally it's a fun-but-huge thing that Shok volunteers at every year to be cooked in the sun and yell at tourists. Currantly she is recovering from sunburns on her arms, exaustion and soreness from moving wet sand in shovels for a few hours, plus she has yet to get over the horrid cold she has had the entire time; BUT! Still Shok gets onto gaia to move her mind back into the internet meld, when suddenly something occurs to her!
Aren't tourists a lot like n00bs?
I mean, it sounds pretty silly at first, but it's entirely true. They'll come around, invade your cities, buggering into places where they shouldn't be, and annoying the locals, never moving when you tell them they need to go, or arguing back at you.
Amazing isn't it?
Probably the only thing I haven't found a real world equivilant for is the flaming, but it's only a matter of time before Shok become coherent again..

And no, I've no idea what the discussion of this is, but you could always give Shok pity for it all. xd

Yeah, but DC is like tourist hell. One of the days I was a counter, so I got to click a button to see how many people walked past into the fest on one of the walkways... I was on the least busy, and in one hour I got more then 2k. gonk

o.O
welcome to life.

And you don't think Bermuda is? It's what our economy thrives off of.

"OMG!!! IS THIS LYK THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE??? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN ITTTT?"

Yeah, tourists are a pain. Luckily, I only see them at Ocean City during the summer.

Nuke 'em all!
(We were actually wondering if they'd send out a nuke for the finalie of the fireworks. xd Everyone gets worked up about how the DC fireworks are 'OMGSOCOOOOLL!!11!', but they are worst then most other ones. xd )

Xo Life makes my arms peel Kuro.

And the sand was for one of the ecologist's exibit, they had, like, one of those ton-bags of sand in the back, and more then half of it had gone into a bit model for kids to play with. xd The whole thing had water running through it, so the sand I had to put back in the bag was, like, twice as heavy as normal sand.

Wow Trav. xd That sounds like fun...

That song is about Bermuda? o__o I always thought it was about Aruba...
Y'know, the Beach Boys were playing at the Firework's day celebration. xd

I can see it now! xd

Tourist 1: "Ooh! Is that an authentic picket fence?"
Tour Guide: (thinking: "Why, oh why didn't I keep my job selling hot dogs?") *sigh* "Yes, that's a picket fence. Now can we get on with the tour already?"
Tourist 2: "No! We need souvenirs first!" *rips off the fence*
Tourist 1: "Now that's what I call a souvenir!"
Lady: "Hey, get back here with my fence, you stupid tourists!"
Tour Guide (to herself): "They don't pay me enough to do this job."
Tourist 1: "Ooh, look at that lawn!"
Tourist 2: "Is that an antique pink flamingo there?"
Tourist 1: "Yeah, it'll make a great souvenir!" *runs to the lawn*
Tourist 2: *folllows T1*
Tour Guide: "Hey, get back here!"
Old Man: "GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU CRAZY TOURISTS!"

The End! xd
