aww Vitalij.
that reminds me of a story.
So there was this guy, Vitalij, he's german.
and he was backpacking across canada (cause what else do german people do?) So he came to my city, and we all became friends.
now, this dude learned english by watching movies and reading comic books, never took a class on english.
So one morning(his last day in my city, because his visa was up) we had all stayed out all night, by this time its just Vitalij, joel, and myself.
we were outside having a smoke and talking about how we're going to miss him, and i bring up the concept of getting a cake. and joel says a fudge cake, Because fudge is awesome!
so Vitalij is standing there looking at us like we're retards "what is fudge" he asks.
now, have you ever tried to explain what Fudge is to someone who doesnt speak english very well?
Its no easy task when you dont speak german.
so joel and i spend about half an hour trying to explain what fudge is, but since we've all been awake for some odd 35 hours, we're burning on nothing here. we have no idea how to explain fudge.
joel says "**** it, we're too tired for this shit, im going to ask the next person that walks by if they have any ideas"
so we wait a bit, wait a bit. a couple comes walking up the street so joel stops them "good morning, hey, i hate to bother you, but my friend here is from germany, and we're trying to explain what fudge is, only we dont really know how since we've all been awake for 35ish hours, would you mind taking a shot at it?"
the woman looks at the guy she's with, she says "okay"
looks over to Vitalij, and stars speaking german to him.
joel and i drop our jaws. we are in complete shock here, the chances that the first person we ask, is going to know german, what the ****.
we start laughing uncontrollably, we are dying here in the middle of the sidewalk while this chick talks german to this guy.
because the last thing you need when you've been awake for so long, is a good laugh, because everything is funnier at the 35 hour mark.
so they our friend and the woman have a chat in german, and then she and the guy walk away.
we keep laughing for a solid ten minutes while Vit just stands there looking at us like we're the most retarded people in the world.
we finally stop and he's like "Ahh fudge, my grandmother used to make it"
it was ****ed right up.
no school in my city offers german classes, so these people had to be from toronto or something. honestly, the chances of her speaking perfect ****ing german? haermm we had such good times with that dude. god i miss him.
