Sounds like Thunderdome is either a real red neck or just a kid. He can be described as "Idiot" or "Ignorant". He seems he hasn't travelled enough, doesn't speak any other languages, cheap, and against technology or people and world that he doesn't know. Judgemental with luck of knowledge and is prejudice. It all came from his luck of education. Sorry Thunderdome, you don't sound too intelligent. Members, ignor him. Talking to him won't help neither you or him.
The guy names himslef caliporsch which seems appropriate.
I beleive that if you actually OWNED a porsche and dngled the keys from your cap rim - while haveing a picture of it with prrof of ownership - you might have gotten someone at Mystic Cafe interested in you.
They seemed like the most money-hungry group of women I have so far encounteres in the FSU. One guy who did leave with a lady - certainly had money.
I did not try to be something I wasn't - which might be why I got the once-over and the cold shoulder from the women there. I mean its not as if they were talking to any other guy either.
These girls were out to score with a rich guy or nothing. That was pretty clear. There wasn't a real or honest one in the bunch that I could perceive.
New guy comes along and picks a fight with Thunder - perhaps our oldest (sorry most senior writer) and advises the forum he lacka education and knowledge and tells us to ignore him.
Cute.
And our educated friends last sentence was: "Talking to him won't help neither you or him."
Now wouldn't the "won't" negate the "neither"?
So the sentence equates to "Talking to him will help either of you." So I guess it was complimentary.
Intelligence is determined soley by how many languages one speaks? In that case it would seem that toads lady may be the most intelligent among us.
I speak one language. So I must be pretty damn stupid.
Even though I have three Bachelors Degrees and a Masters with emphasis in two areas. I am a member of Mensa (top 2% of the population) and Intertel (top 1%).
I am hoping that English is not your first language since you tend to have difficulty constructing sentences in it.
It doesn't take long to figure out the most glaring difference between a Porsche and a porcupine, does it?
The porcupine carries the pricks on the outside.
I, for one, am tickled to death to see that our newest 'village idiot' pretender decided to pick on someone else this time, instead of me, lol.
Knowing languages does not neccessarily mean a person is intelligent. Only educated.
My Lena is both, cute as a button, and on top of that...she likes me!! (which some here would NOT see as a sign of intelligence, but who cares..:)
Haha... this is soooo funny.. I am gonna kill myself laughing... Ok.. So, if I don't get this completely wrong now, some guy say that owning a Porsche make someone rich? haha.. The only kind of people saying something that stupid probably ownes a Porsche himself.. scale 1:18... People with money doesn't have to prove it dear :) People that want other people to believe they are rich does... Is 1 mill USD being rich? I am just curious... Having friends and a beautiful woman by your side, sweet kids and money enough to travel, go to a restaurant, buy some small things without feeling bad about it... THAT is being rich!! And sweet friend, I am sure a lot of the guys in this forum are capable to wallpaper your body with 1000 Dollar bills anytime... I am not one of them, but I am still "Rich"!
By the way.. I speak all scandinavian languages... "Ha en fin dag"
Dutch... "Heb een aardige dag"
German.. "Haben Sie einen schönen Tag"
Spanish.. "Tenga un día agradable"
French.. "Ayez un beau jour"
Italian.. "Abbia un giorno piacevole"
Japanese.. "天気の良い日を過しな ;さい"
Korean.. "좋은 하루 되세요"
Portugese.. "Tenha um dia agradável"
Russian.. "Имейте славный день"
Chinese.. "玩得高兴"
English.. "Have a nice day"
So does this make me educated and intelligent? I don't think so.. I cheated and lied... I have a really great translation software... you know.. lied.. just like you do about the Porsche... ;) Вы будете тупоумным идиотом
you two - STOP!
I believe I am the one addressed? Then let me also talk to this Datsun please?
Californian Porsche,
Yeah you're right, I'm an ignorant idiot. Because you were so immaculately spot-on with my apparent heritage (you at least picked up 'South' somewhere) I checked underneath my fridge - damn right, the grass under it has died, I'm a Redneck, now exposed!!
Of course I'm against technology. I don't understand the least of it, and now you want me to condone it? No way, I've got more than enough trouble fixing my skateboard, and now you want me to repair my (very complicated!) roller skates also? That's how accidents happen, trust me. However, if I could do it indeed such would save me quite a bit of money, my allowance is insufficient in any case.
Of course I've travelled, this bit I DO take as an insult. I remember distincly the first time I, entirely on my own, found my way to the neighbour's house. Since then regular trips to the village became the norm, and I've been to a city even! Oh, and just in case you are going to be sarcastic - I also find my way back home (normally)!
Languages I do understand, here you're also wrong. You can show me any movie with subtitles, and I promise that, when it ends, I've more or less understood what the movie was about. And if that's not enough I easily humm along with a song after I've heard it before, say only 60 times.
What else?
Intelligent? Hey, let's be honest here, we can't be all Robert Mugabe's, sure you'll appreciate that, but posing semi-clever I virtually should get away with, not so? It's what I try to do here, and believe it or not - untill you posted what you did... they all fell for it, trust me at least on that.
Now, because I'm thick as a brick, as communicative as a hermit, as monolingual as a self-admitted Jet, judgemental as a judge and as educated as a toddler, please give me a hint as to what post set you off? Because I also am as shortsighted as a mole, somewhere something is missing - but then again I maybe lost the whole plot, have probably. But hey, who cares ayway eh?
is "Check this obscurity for me pls, in-depth I mean - the fact that AFA runs it/utilizes it means nothing to me, this dinner & camera thing is really weird but likely a moneyspinner though" what you set off?
You've got a vested interest in this gimmick, not so? I'll tell you what, and THEN flame me:
- This Mystic Cafe undoubtedly spins money by wire from the same type of guys which gullibly send money left, right & center. This income is also the main pillar it stands on.
- It organizes meetings during which (likely paid) "furniture" attends, in an attempt to enforce the impression that this facility is a genuine and above-board one.
If you have understood the wording I've used (which I doubt) then now defend I am abysmally wrong, poorly mistaken and what have you, and come up with stats of succesful introductions of this establishment to back your arguments up.
a kind note from a thick brick:
Every time you respond the chance somebody will find this thread as a result of a Search-Engine increases, exponential in fact.
Mystic Cafe (no, I've not been there, giving you room to argue here :) is in my opinion a means to suck money from poor sods who think they can impress a woman (read: a total stranger) by buying them a remote meal whilst (rude in itself) staring at her, or buying her drinks whilst chatting to a screen, the latter in itself also costing per second.
MC's income all in all will add up nicely, I'm sure you'll agree, and THAT income you try to defend here.
Trust me - I've BEEN to the Mystic Cafe and to one of its parties. Its a sham. Its a farce. And this is from one who fully believes in and endorses the entire idea of Romance Socials.
To anyone finding this by means of s search - DON'T GO. IT'S A RIP OFF.
And if you need it I will gladly give you two names and email addresses (making three of the seven including myself) of the guys who ATTENDED last Autumns party. It was not worth the time I spent or the cab fare into Old Town.
By the way - I also speak Pig-Latin. Oes-day at-thay ount-cay?
"You wouldn't happen to be connected to the Mystic Cafe in any way would you"
When last have you seen someone reacting on a post seven pages before, 5 months old? Sure I was skeptical about this place, but now I'm absolutely convinced about it.
Hey, and a party in a phonebooth can be very nice - as long as you're two ;-)
So btw, did I miss your disappointed post about this MC or did you never mention it? Wonder why - I've been to shitplaces before (a lie, I never travel) but I'd tell you anyway.
I know I must have mentioned it - though I can't recall when.
I commented in several threads back then and did not keep the entire topic confined to one.
The SEARCH here doesn't help much either. If you put "mystic" into it you get many many many pages where that word is used. and you only get the first line or so of the first post. Its not enough to help me recall if I wrote anything of significance there.
But trust me the Mystic Cafe was a bust.
And at the time that I went - I was anxious for ANY kind of female companionship. I had gone to latvia having only established intital contact with a few girls. I intended to meet them in person over dinner, like people has always tended to meet each other before internet days. That wasn't going very well so I hoped that the party I had paid for - sort of a mini-Social I reasoned, would save the day (or the week). It was crap. I mean REALLY crap.
My mugging is somethig you might remember - though that happened later.
I did meet one very beautiful woman through fiance.com but she was too young. (Wait...can they be too young?)
As I mentioned in a recent thread - this girl had her profile pulled from fiance.com because she met a local man in Latvia. But having told her of my trip to Moldova and my pending marriage - she sent me beautiful pictures and asked me to visit her in Latvia this summer.
Wow. I'm going to hate giving up the fun of the chase.
I know nobody dont belive me, but girls who go such kind of socials in Baltic dates (I dont mention Ukraine and Moldova only Baltic states) are losers, just ask what education they have and what work they do and what citizenship they have.a
I tend to agree with you Annika. Those girls sized up your wallet real quick and that was about it. They seemed much more goal oriented (with the specific goal of finding a rich man) than girls from the other countries I have met. And of those i spoke to, none were especially educated.
Worse - when Imentioned to people in Riga that I had originally come to attend a party at the Mystic Cafe (as I've mentioned before - I though it would be something like a Romance Social) they seemed to roll there eyes and smile as if to say "Oh you're looking for THAT KIND of girl."
If one is looking for THAT KIND of girl one must visit Mystic Cafe !
Act rich, let it all hang out, have a ball and enjoy yourself thouroughly.
Hmm Jet, I can see nothing wrong with that. Overdosing on hormones is in any case a hobby of mine, and what better than 'using' the facilities of an establishment which are on 'offer'?
The only gripe I have with this Mystic Cafe is that it is so gawdawful far away, and in comparison the local tittybar is around the corner here. As said not for me, but in case I'll ever be stood up in (where's this place?) I'll keep it in mind when I get pissed enough - and no, that's no oximoron ;-)
At least it will be a completely new experience, because I'll never even think of using their ludicrous on-line facilities hence I'll walk in there (stumble, sorry) not expecting anything, let's say with an open mind.
And yeah Toad, maybe an open fly as well :))
Let's give Calidatsn some real regrets he re-opened this old thread (about MYSTIC CAFE, coming up every time one uses Google!!) so that he just might have to sell his old Beetle.
You said this Mystic Cafe-place you visited was a farce, right? ;-)
