This is a lot funnier than anything from a site that catalogues firearms in movies and games has any right to be
The USAS-12 jams in much the same way as the SPAS, so a gigantic explosion has been added to this image to make up for any disappointment.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Actually Canada is not TOO bad for this one...at least enough that gathering 2800 people on a boat made it stand out way more than it might at home...but you are probably right.

Ha, noted. And thanks.
I forgot to mention #11 ion the list:
11. Young American guys really CAN be what they call "DudeBros"....I shit you not the wife and I sat by three of them one day in the buffet and they proceeded to have a conversation that consisted of "dudes" and "bros" in a Californian accent for 10 minutes. It was difficult to listen to. What happened to English?

I once got asked, when working in the States, to speak in "some England talk" I replied that I was speaking in the language to which the guy replied "no, not English, the language you guys speak in England! "
After patiently explaining that ENGLISH came from ENGLAND, he screwed up his face & said "Oh. What language do we speak here then?"
God bless America!

Italian service is almost as bad as that of Austria, and I would imagine Venice to be the worst of the lot, though I have never been to the city myself.
My experience having been there twice for multiple weeks is generally the opposite. I found the Italians to be friendly, welcoming, and patient if we had to navigate some language issues. There were the odd exceptions, but hardly more than i've experienced anywhere else. Maybe i just have a travel horseshoe th', i got great service even in France.
Austria too actually, tho to be fair i was eating exclusively in biergartens and pretty hammered the whole time.

Let's see. First off, on the first night out the "entertainment" was a mishmash of what they would be providing for entertainment each night for the next two weeks, and every time he introduced an act he did it in a condescending manner. Like "Here is Miss Singer from New Zealand"...singer sings...*we clap*....Cruise Director Douche: "There she goes. Isn't she cute?" He proceeded to belittle each and every act in a physical way. The male broadway-ish singer was super buff and latin...and instead of commenting how good a singer he was, he made some random comment about how the older female cruise patrons would attend the show he was in to get their "motors running"...or some such.
Second. The Mrs. and I attended the mind-reader/magician and sat in the back row. I began to whisper how he did all the tricks to her (it was a pretty lame show and guessable tricks) and Cruise Director Douche all of the sudden is beside me and nudges me to ask "How's he doing?" about the act. I said "He's alright." Not wanting to disparage the act as not the best...his response was "I can't see him, that pole is in the way. Hahahaha!" and then he wandered off. I have to assume he was drunk?
He did other stuff over the course of the cruise that irritated us, but mostly it was his blatant condescension.

Totally. This was an anomaly in our time in multiple ports in Italy. We were all over that country and nearly every single Italian we met were lovely, gracious, and kind-hearted people. The Venetian waiter/restaurant was an anomaly of the highest order...

Every time I come across the combining form 'phleb/o' I start laughing like a five year old who just said the word 'boobies'.

Basically, it means 'vein' or 'pertaining to a blood vessel'. But more importantly, it makes funny words - phlebotomist, phlebotomy, phlebitis, phlebothrombosis, etc.
Its meaning isn't funny but for some reason saying it aloud is hilarious.

I had to visit the phlebotomists a few times recently when I had that weird virus (that still resists identification 
).
Suffice it to say, it was not by choice. Nor was it pleasant by any stretch of the imagination.
I'm HAPPY I'm back to 100% now and hopefully won't need to see them again any time soon.
