Do blog dos Strokes...

E a gente achava que nossas conversas e observações eram sem sentido...


Fab: What are you drinking?
Danny: Ribena.
Fab: What’s that?
Danny: It’s made from blackcurrants.
Fab: What are blackcurrants?
Danny: Don’t you get them in America?
Fab: No. Are they like Blackberries?
Danny: No. They’re blackcurrants.
Fab: So, what’s a blackcurrant?
Julian (from one row forward): What was that question you won on trivia about blackberries?Rob: Oh yeah, 95 % of blackberries in the world are in the UK.
Julian: It was Genus Edition of Trivia. Good answer.
Danny: 95% of all UK Blackcurrants are used to make Ribena. It says on the bottle.
Richard: So 95% of 95% - what does that make the overall % of world blackberries are used in Ribena.
Rob: No – It’s blackcurrants in Ribena.Ryan (from one row ahead): Nice drop of Ribena, eh Danny?
Danny (nodding): Yeah, But it’s 95% of Blackberries what grow in the UK.
Someone: So it’s not 95% of 95%?
Fab: No. Can somebody tell me what the F*** a blackcurrant is?
Rob: It’s a currant…Richard: …that is Black.
Danny: It’s what makes Ribena. (Takes a sip). That reminds me, my cat ate a bird; whole. It was ‘orrible.(Pause)
Danny: …beak and bones and everything. Do you think it digested everything?
Fab: Probably not.
Danny: I bet it eats a lot of birds…I wonder how many beaks and bones are in my cat?
Rob: It’s full of fossils then, isn’t it?
Fab: (Animated) Oh man, do you realize how many fossil fuels we’re using now, flying to Ireland?!
Danny: We could have taken the bus like the crew…
Richard: Then you’d have to use a ferry. They use up a lot of fossil fuels, back and forth across the Irish sea day in, day out…it’s not really plain sailing.
Fab: Not as much as a plane though.
Richard: Ah, but there’s the bus too. That has to drive to Holyhead first.
Fab: We’re running out of fossil fuels…there won’t be any left soon. Future generations are going to be in big trouble because we’re using them all.
Rob: So we should start saving them for future generations.(Pause)We should start burning some animals now, and save all the fossil fuels for later.
Danny: Like me cat does…
Ryan: Your cat burns animals?
Richard: We’d have to use some big animals to make it worthwhile. Get rid of all the big, crap.
Fab: (Shakes head)
Danny: We could use all the whales. They don’t do anything do they…? And no one ever sees them? Have you ever been out on a boat looking for whales…they just swim around at the bottom of the sea doing nothing and you can never see one.
Rob: And Giraffes…they’re big. And pretty useless, aren’t they?
Fab: And Danny’s Cat. It’s full of bones…

Mas afinal, o que são blackcurrants????
