Sometimes you just can't resist.

<i>Just peeked in to take a look at this thread and got hit upside the head with a tomato.</i>

Budman, that reminds me of <b>Tomatina</b>, the famous tomato battle in Bu&ntilde;ol, Spain. Ever since seeing clips of it on the news, I've thought it would be a blast to take part in, or at least see. It was just recently, on August 25th this year.

Hi Capo! I saw a magazine article about that tomato throwing festival years ago and have always wanted to go.

Budman, thanks for the laugh!

earl, is it all clear now?

Giovanna Sep 10th, 2004 09:45 AM

Capo: But what a waste of a potential caprese salad!

capo Sep 10th, 2004 09:53 AM

Marilyn, let's all go next year! We can all throw tomatoes at m_kingdom. :)

Giovanna, who says it would to be a waste? I'd find some attractive Spanish woman covered with tomatoes, just throw some basil and mozzarella on her, and have a delicious <i>Caprese en una Mujer Espa&ntilde;ola</i>.

At 10:49 am, MK2 inadvertently gave away his/her values in life with this comment:
&quot;people should always remain clothes&quot;

Not &quot;clothed&quot; but &quot;clothes.&quot; As far as MK2 is concerned, you really ARE what you wear. How could anything else matter?

sol_veracruzano Sep 10th, 2004 09:54 AM

I thought MK2 was a girl..

very fashionable indeed

BTilke...:)

I don't find MK's comments to be offensive at all. Humorous, actually. As for rudeness, she doesn't even begin to hold a candle to that other poster.

I picture m_kingdom2 as a big ole drag queen, or a Dame Edna clone.

WillTravel Sep 10th, 2004 10:55 AM

My pet theory is that MK2 is preparing a one-person drag show for the stage or cabaret. His/her posts here are an attempt to create a fully fleshed-out persona of a cynical, wealthy, snobbish, and endlessly shopping London socialite. Method acting at its best!

suze Sep 10th, 2004 11:38 AM

m_kingdom2 is great fun. and i think it's pretty amazing for as close as we all have become that we are still not certain his/her sex/gender. and although i disagree with the excessive overpacking (by a service, no less) advice... i mostly look forward to the creative input.

now you want scary take a look at Bigboy71712, a new and extremely annoying participant who thankfully will be leaving for europe by monday.

I always thought mk was really either Graham Norton or Prince Philip incognito. :D

atlcity Sep 10th, 2004 11:49 AM

I doubt Bigboy has ever been out of his hometown let alone going to Europe.

m_kingdom2 Sep 10th, 2004 12:30 PM

I'm quite sure that that is the first time Graham Norton and Prince Philip have been mentioned in the same sentence.

Clifton Sep 10th, 2004 02:24 PM



ThinGorjus, I can't believe you said that but thanks for giving me a good laugh. If you knew how many times that's crossed my mind...

How could Fodors alow this rubbish thread to continue when the yanked the &quot;Mary jane in Amsterdam&quot; started by lisa_blue_is?

Budman Sep 10th, 2004 05:52 PM

I think that thread went up in smoke. This one has a few more tomatoes to throw. ((a)) ((b))
