And you think you are sophisticated!!!

Well I guess as long as I can get some of them domestic beers I can swaller until I get an empty can or bottle to spit in.

Where I come from, "smart casual" means you wear shoes, "Semi-formal" means with socks, and for "formal" the socks have to match!

What is wrong with you, has the language degraded so much you can't even form a proper sentence? It's "... I can swaller until I get A empty bottle ..."

 

Man, all these years a teachin English and I end up in a room with the like a you. Sheesh.

you are all too funny. This really makes me laugh as we lived in the DC area and read the Post all the time in the early to late 80s. WE will take our unsophisticated NM any day. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed DC but love the casual, classless lifestyle we now live. NMNita

I'm reminded of the old adage: "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." In this case - regardless of how big a newspaper is, you can't make a good travel writer out of a bozo.

dradford,

Anyone that quotes from the Andy Griffith show has to be sophistocated. For all you unsophistocated (non Andy watchers) the silk purse line was used by Barney referring to Ernest T. Bass at Mrs. Wiley's party.

I guess what I am trying to say is that as unsophisticated as I am I still like to save as much money as possible. If saving money means that I am unsophisticated with low self-esteem then I guess that describes me.

For Carol Sottili of the Washington Post.....

That made me feel better

Happy Sails!!! Colette

vijoge,

Now we are getting sophisticated when we go back to 1765. Barney is the one that said it not Andy. You need to watch a little educational TV.

 

"Baby lets cruise away from here"

[ahoughton]

Just for the record (and to show my sophistisation) episode 113, Feb. 3, 1964 "My Fair Ernest T. Bass".

 

"Baby lets cruise away from here"

[vijoge]

Mea culpa! How did I ever confuse Jonathan Swift with Barney Fife? I promise to be more careful in the future.

Heck, what is wrong with saving some money AND having a less formal atmosphere?!! Personally, the money I save on my NCL cruise to Alaska will be spent on a piece of Native art, probably a Tlingit or Haida mask.
