The Villaaage!
Oct. 17, 2005 by Jason
Creepy cabbies can be fun when you’re way past drunk.
My Lady and I piled into a car with My Best Good Buddy and his co-worker in D.C. The cabbie seemed very upbeat considering it was 4 in the morning. We started to chit-chat and accidentally opened the floodgates of insane conversation. My BGB asked the guy where he was from. He said “The village,” with a hearty laugh.
His laugh was infectious. We all started giggling a little.
BGB: “The village? Where’s that?”
Cabbie: “The village.. is… the villaaaage!”
We all started laughing.
Me: “What village?”
Cabbie: “The villaaaage!”
We all cheered along, repeating his chant.
All: “The villaaage!”
My Lady: “So are you having fun tonight?”
Cabbie: “Yeah!”
My Lady: “Cool. We’ve been out drinking.”
Cabbie: “Me too. I’m very drunk.”
My Lady: “You’re drunk?!?”
Cabbie: “Yeah! I was drinking in the villaaage!”
All: “The villaaage!”
Cabbie: “The villaaage!”
All: “The villaaage!”
This went on for at least five minutes. I have no idea what the guy was talking about. Maybe he was referring to an actual village where he grew up. Maybe he was from the East Village in Manhattan. Maybe he just really loved the movie, The Village.
Also - I don’t think he was really drunk. I think he was just fucking with us.

Maybe he was just wishing he were drunk too. Sounds like you all had great fun!

hehehe…well, if he was drunk I must say that a guy like that who’s chanting one word and laugh about it is a hellova lot better than one who would show you his fists :p

Reminds me of 2 movie scenes:
#1- The Karate Kid: Daniel and Mr. Miyagi screaming, “Bonsai!”
#2- Bubble Boy: Bubble boy and mudwrestling host screaming “500 dollars!”

Marc: 500 points for the Bubble boy reference.

Thanks vato, I mean Ev. And stay away from that whore next door. I don’t think she’s the kind of person Jesus would have as a friend.

Saaaay.
Wasn’t one of the Village People a cab driver. Let’s see, Indian, cop, construction worker…Was the guy wearing assless chaps perhaps?

Maybe he really was drunk and the village is a bar and come on every one needs to make friends with the whore next door.

The Village was pretty much the worst movie ever made. So, I’d rule out the idea of him liking that movie.

Hey JJ,
Thanks for swinging through and leaving a note. Feel free to pass on the rules to any in need of a reminder…LOL.
Peace,

Jane:
Mos def. Heavy drinking with good friends is a recipe for fun.
Christa:
True. The guy seemed really nice. And his laugh was totally infectious.
Marc:
Bonsaiiii!!
Clayton:
Thanks for stopping by. I’m a fan of the Opiated Sherpa.
Ev:
Yes! It was definitely like the wassup thing. Over and over. It was his fucking mantra or something.
Poobah:
You may be on to something.
Big D:
That is very possible.
Kev:
Good point. Now if he were yelling “Sixth Sennnse!” it might be a different story.
Dee:
You bet, Dee. Everyone else: go check out Dee’s defacation rules.
BeckEye:
He didn’t have a mustache, so the odds are slim.

That would have creeped me out a little. I hated that movie, but the idea was scary.

You wouldn’t have been creeped out, I assure you. Dude was hilarious.
