Modern Vespa

So I ride a Vespa Scooter ???

Why do people HAVE to THINK I'm Italian, or FROM ITaLY??

Its driving me crazy, all these people saying shit in Italian to me....

Guess what ?!? I've never SEEN "Roman Holiday", I mean, that movie is totally gay...

I haven't got this one yet...perhaps cuz I'm asian (and look very very asian)?

Damn Wangta, I thought you were Finish when we met.

Why does everyone assume that because that movie has a scooter in it, that all italians are gay! Makes no sense to me.

98% of people who watch Roman Holiday believe Audrey Hepburn is hot, though ....even if her character is pretty annoying.

i believe that would 99% percent, sir.

who is Audrey Hepburn?

Isn't she a "GAY icon"?

If she is then I couldn't possibly know who she is.

Because, I'm more of a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" guy

Obviously you're not, then, because gay fellas prefer "Brunch" as we learned in some other thread. If brunch were served at Tiffany's, then i'd be inclined to think you had caught the gay.

What annoys me more than the "Oh are you italian?" sort of thing because I'm on a Vespa is when people go overboard with Italian themes and whatnot all over their bikes when they don't have any sort of italian heritage whatsoever. i dont know why that bothers me. i guess its just one of those things, you have an italian bike and you automatically become italian. the same way everyone is irish on st. paddy's day.

I'm gonna put a big-ass asian sticker on my scooter. Like a chinese character. That might confuse them huh?

I would suggest taking it one step further to really confuse people and fly a huge finish flag from the back.

Yes, good idea. And a batman sign on the front for good measure.

yes! yes!

I know I have that problem too! Of course I AM 50% Italian, but me Irish/English Da's blood sure is apparent. I was in the North End (Boston's little italy) and some guy saw my Vespa and ran out thinking I was stealing his. Once he realized his mistake he began to go on and on in this like Italian language or something



P.S. Eric I love the avatar.

I did put an Italian flag sticker on my Vespa..for 2 reasons. 1, it's Italian. 2, my grandmother on my dad's side was born in Italy..in fact, that whole side of the family are Italian. So, whoopdedoo.

But, but, but...I am Italian.

before everyone chimes in with their ethnicities .... this was a completely tongue in cheek thread.

If you want to post that you're a laplander, and in Lapland you ride Caribou rather than vespas, and people think you're gay, then that's perfectly acceptable.

Any REAL comments are from people likely missing the joke

So I ate pasta por nada. Damn it!

pasta por nada? i don't think i've had that. is that like a pasta-lentil concoction dished out for free by the hare krishnas?

Here we go......I once dated a Russian chick.

Dear Moderators,
Couldn't we have a special section for Italian gay caribou enthusiasts who live in Lapland?

Think about it.

Never had the Krishnas pasta but a friend of mine has, she said it was good and the people were nice. I like to watch them dance.

Since I have no Italian in me I thought Id eat some pasta so I can have a little Italian in me, but Eric busted my bubble so I ate it for nothing.
Damn Buzz kill.

I covet the drums they use.

Italian-American.

I'd recommend JDM's Manekineko (Lucky Cat):



Confuse others even more (JDM makes performance parts for cars & trucks).

Although I was born in the US, my parents came over from Italy when they were in their 20s. I learned English in elementary school!

If Vespa moved their manufacturing to some other country, I'd think twice about getting another one!

Ho comprato una Vespa e divenne così italiano che non sono in grado anche di leggere questo thread

Ho mangiato troppo della spaghettata e poi il prossimo cosa che ho saputo era che al'ora Io sono Italiano di ingestione.

Mi Dispiace!
Giovanni Potter

E la piazza e' mia!!!!

...and perform traditional Caribou-inspired Lap Dances at Holiday gatherings?

Odd, most of the Asians I know have relatively small tushes!

....and the rest think Gregory Peck is hot.

I had spagetti at a Holiday Inn.

I love drum circles, though I couldnt keep a steady beat myself.

Last year my wife and I were in Santa Monica (3rd st. Prom.), and there was about 25 female Krishnas dancing to some cool drums, they had on the beautiful Indian outfits, very cool.

Well heres my Italian,

Primavera Fiat que bella Vespa Lambretta Milan.


Pretty cool you guys can read the Vespa manual in Italian.

I ride an MP3.

People think I'm a Martian.

I'm only half Italian, which explains why I get the Italian question half the time. Mostly when I'm carrying a pizza home on the back of the bike.

I just downloaded Holly and the Italians; "The right to be Italian"

It's a happy-making thing.

OMG - We went from a funny original post to ethnicisity! Hell - We all came from Africa! Go take the National Geographic DNA Test!

Let's start another "Gay" thread on "Who Loves Barbara Striesand"?

Cheers,

Gianni

I ride a Bet & Win.

People think I'm a High Roller.

Me Vespa e Rossa!
