My Drunken Discovery of the Dalai Lama

I consider myself to be an educated person. In fact, I am very proud of my education.

Still, I can be such an idiot sometimes.

Last night Aaron and I went to our favorite Chinese Food restaurant. I proceeded to order a scorpion bowl and consume the entire thing myself. $60 dollars in food and 1 scorpion bowl (for me) later we decided to venture home.

Once home, and feeling brilliant (liquid intelligence) Aaron and I began a deep philosophical discussion (I was yelling and slurring he was completely sober) about, of course, the Dalai Lama. Doesn't everyone talk about the Dalai Lama when intoxicated? Yeah, no.

So, in a moment of complete intelligence, I conceded to Aaron that while looking online for inspirational quotes to use at work in honor of Black History Month I stumbled across many beautiful quotes by the Dalai Lama. The conversation (according to a sober Aaron) went something like this:

J: Shooo, I foun shum quotes by the Daily Llama when I was shlooking for quotes for Black Hishory Month for groups. He hash lotsa quotes.

A: Yes, they do.

J: No, the Dalllllyy Llaaaammmaaaaa.

A: Yeah, they do have a lot of quotes by the Dalai Lama.

J: Who's they? Googles?

A: No, the Dalai Lama.

J: Yesssss! I found lotsa quotes by him that I liked.

A: Which one?

J: (grrrrr!) The Dolly Laaammmaaa!!!!!!

A: Which Dalai Lama?

J: Whats the fuck you means which Dolly Ama? You mean there is more than that one bald one?!

A: Um, yes, it's like an elected position, like the Pope. They eventually pass away.

J: What?! No sah! Wheres have I beens? I thought he's just that one man... like Motha Thersa. Now this whole times I've thought he was like this really important guy who comes along once in a lifetime but now there are all sorts of them??!!! That's disappointing.

A: No, babe, He is important. Just like the Pope. That's what he means to people.

J: Yeah, but, I don't really like the new Pope. Pope Benny... hahahahah, Pope BeneDIccckkkkttt! He's not the same as the other one I got used to.

A: I think I need a drink

So there you have it, all these years I thought only one Dalai Lama existed and that he was called the "Dalai Lama" because, well, that was his name. I'm slightly embarrassed, but, Geography wasn't my strong subject ;p Maybe soon I tell you about my recent finding of Egypt being located on the continent of Africa... who knew?
