The biggest disappointments of The Costa Rica Bash...
 

10. Chio didn't show up with a peg leg, beard or a parrot.

09.There was a boat full of hookers, and not 1 would fuck the Sybian!

08. When drinking a can of Imperial Beer, you don't look that cool since it resembles a can of YooHoo.

07. The natives only speak English if there is a money discrepency...And then they all of a sudden speak it very fluent!

06. Let's just say that a $6.00 filet mignon usually resembled something you'd get with a $0.99 steak and eggs breakfast in Vegas.

05. Spanish keyboards on the public computers. I searched for the @ sign for 3 hours to no avail!

04. There were maybe 5 english speaking stations on the TV...And those were Spanish subtitled! Now I know how the Spanish feel in America with only 1 Telemundo!

03. Taxi fares are up to the drivers discretion. It's amazing how a once $2 ride is now $20!

02. For some reason, every girl that talked to me wanted money... I wonder why?

and...

01. It's a full year until the next Costa Rica Bash!

What a great show everybody! The sponsors lined up some great events, the show was nice and intimate and I felt safe 100% of the time. New friendships were made and old ones were cemented, I was able to witness a different culture first hand and the accomidations were great (the Villas in Jaco were amazing)!

Cheers all and I can't wait until next year. :thumbsup

HAHAHAHA that is SOO on Point
I Love the they get MAD and Speak English

HAHA Maybe I'll have a nasty accident with a lawn mower before next year :)



:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It was great meeting all you guys.

you just needed to go on most websites, contact page, copy paste @ of the emails.. :winkwink:

good to hear you had fun

That's interesting. When I get mad I speak another language too.

Thats awesome man, funny stuff

Man you're hanging out at the wrong places... There's more to CR than the Del Rey...

:1orglaugh

You should have showed us! We actually did see quite a bit of Costa Rica (the cities we were in at least) and we only hit the Del Ray twice. It's just odd for me to see a ton of girls and it seemed like every one was looking for money from people.

It was Great Meeting you as well Chio:pimp
Your cool the way you are Bro no need for any LawnMower accidents:1orglaugh

I feel ya, brother. It's hard to stay focused on the true *top line* at these shows when there are so many little nippers and gawkers. Karma keeps her own tally. She'll share her math with us when she's ready -- lol For me personally, the net is always *up* if at the end I gave more than I got. As I recently learned from so many great folks in CR, Pura Vida is Good For Business -- :)

Good to sit down and talk with you for awhile this show! I really enjoyed this show as well.

It's the same thing here with the Pakistani owned shops. Which there are ALOT...

Can anyone here explain this to me also ??

When on holiday in Ibiza, Spain last year, i was stumped.


Some Spanish guy came up, pressed something, and the @ sign appeared. He fucked off before i got to ask him how he did it...

did anybody get laid at CR? :Graucho

there is?????:Graucho

I'd be willing to bet that the number of people who didn't get laid is smaller than the number of people that did get laid. And since we are talking about webmasters and not male models, that's a pretty impressive fact. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

well there's always next year

There's a key to the right of the spacebar labeled "Alt Gr", it's like a secondary alt key, press that and then 2 to get the @.

Nice call Sherm !!

Great to hang with you, the Big Red One and th irrepressible Duke.

I am counting the days until next year also mate.

See you boys in Phoenix in the meantime !!

;-)

swiss keyboards are fucked up too. GRRRR.

Always fun hanging out with the Aussies! :thumbsup

There is one thing I really did not understand...

Ok, I go somewhere and everyone speaks a different language. As I keep hearing more and more I start picking up on little phrases or I can at least put together what is being said. All through repetition.

I ordered the same drink, all day, every day... and the dudes still had a hard time understanding what I was saying! Listen chico! "Jack and Coke" means "Jack Daniels y Coca Cola" just like the other 50 times I ordered it!

Oh, and another thing... it would be plainly established that I didn't know Spanish and the other person didn't know English, yet they would still try and have full conversations with me speaking at regular pace. What the hell?! I don't know Spanish! Just smile and nod!

Now I have my mind set to learning Spanish. This should be interesting, hehe.

hahahah! I was thinking the same thing. Thank God I had 2 years of spanish in HS that gave me enough fundamentals to understand 1/3 of the locals...I just didn't know how to reply!

Luckilly acting like you don't understand a thing can come in handy at times. What I don't understand is how a person can move to a country with a different language, and not want to learn how to speak it. If I lives in CR, I'd be damned if I didn't take the time to learn how to speak!

Dude I had 3 years of Spanish and I was completely lost. I could understand maybe 40% if they talked slowly, I would listen for key words that I knew and then try to guess what they were saying. Fuck if I knew how to reply.

Then here's the kicker. On the way home Monday I'm sitting in the airport headbanging to Slayer on my MP3 player and suddenly all of my high school Spanish started kicking in. I wanted to shoot myself. Three days earlier would have been much more convenient!

hahahah! Don't you hate when that happens?

:1orglaugh Seriously you made that trip Soo much more fun just by being there. You are a funny ass mofo:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Sounds like you needed a translator..maybe next time they'll have more Spanish translators with each group that goes out..

Cheers to the greatest spanish translator of all time! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATIN DUNCAN!!!!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

DH

I wish I could have been in the Beatle Bar with you guys just to see the look on the faces of people when the 2 butt pirates entered. :1orglaugh

Always a pleasure to party with you bro :thumbsup

That #9 particularly sucks...

Costa Rica is supposed to have the worst spanish in any spanish speaking country... Hell a lot of locals can't even understand each other. They're also really picky on pronunciation, you can say the same thing perfectly 20 times, and then all of a sudden they'll go "ohhhhhhhh" and say it just how you did. Completely ridiculous.

I'm confused about the pirate theme ? Looks like awesome time
from all the pics

Might as well opine about the filet mignon thing. From personal experience I found that it has nothing to do with the cuts of meats available, but the restaurant chefs being totally unable to cook a good steak or the restaurant being totally incompetent at picking a good cut. For 2 bucks at a supermarket you can get a massively thick bacon-wrapped filet mignon to season and throw on the grill. Now that's a piece of meat!

Oh my God.. I experienced that on more than 1 occasion. I was so aggrivated that it just made me start laughing hysterically. :1orglaugh
