RAMEN MYSTERY: CARAVEL

 



the two of us by the docks.
me: you think this is a big-enough ship?
Jen R: it's the prettiest little boat. those red crosses make me almost want to pray, pray to Queen Isabella.
Ms. Krause: Christopher Columbus went on that racist voyage because Queen Isabella thought he was cute and she was getting back at King Ferdinand for screwing the pageboy, both meanings, and not believing her.
Jen: they certainly make me a nurse at sea. this is where the Spruce Goose ported the Queen Mary!!! Playmobil vibes.
me: what's our mission again?
Jen: we're to find the best Carvel ice cream on the planet.
me: easy, Fedco.
Jen: it's a hot summer day so the crew needs a boatload of ice cream.
me: speaking of summer, nobody's around during summer, everybody's gone, but YOU were here for me in a crisis, in a pinch.
Jen: turns out it was a pinch of salt. or the end of the world.
me: i just want you to know how much i appreciate you. forget this giant silver tin anchor in front of me, YOU are my lifeline. i love you so much, head over heels, you mean the world to me.
Jen: the seven seas, the Seven Worlds...

Gordon Ramsay: FUCK THE TOUR DE FRANCE. yeah? no don't worry, that's not a bruise, it's a Samoan tribal body tattoo that covers my front and back...

Great Dane: don't you love how my name is Kevin? i'm the world's tallest dog, which means i'm the only animal or human clown in the circus who doesn't use stilts...

Leslie Sbrocco with dripping pan: to collect the fond i'm fond of. i'm actually a chef. a chefess. my roof exploded?
Lindy Lenz: ...

Lindy Lenz from a hospital bed: there's just something about Kermit the Frog's voice that induces tears. what do you use for strep throat?
me: Robitussin, Tussin like a wild woman.
Lindy: what do you use for a bad GI tract?
me: G.I. Joe soldiers. don't worry, not a real war, action figures.

crates and crates and crates of tea are being loaded up by chains onto the ship.
Jules Smith: if you say you don't like PG Tips, you're a tea snob. finest black tea in Her Majesty's Royal Navy.
me: how can i help? i'll put on an apron and wheel around the bev cart. full of Ceylon tea to calm the waters.
Serano: i'll be the best shipmate, i speak Portuguese!!!
Jen R: go downstairs.
when i get there, Jean-Luc Picard is wheeling around a beverage cart.
me: it's weird seeing a captain of authority wearing an apron.
Jean-Luc Picard: matches with my white head.

me: you feeling dizzy there, captain? it's seasickness.
Jen R: no, first mate, i just twirled myself around really fast trying to open this Tootsie Roll Pop wrapper. 
me: tomato, where have ye been my whole life? right? so crisp, so clean, so cold. i should eat a tomato a day.
Jen: ketchup doesn't count. eat a tomato like an apple. avoid scurvy, ya landlubber. gain your sealegs by listening to "Cake by the Ocean."

Boc: nobody wants to walk in a mall. would you rather me do naked sweaty weightlifting outside?...

seagull: i'm perched atop the mysterious Strange Tower.........it's a big plug...

Dakota Fanning is driving M. Night Shyamalan thru the Taco Bell drivethru.
Dakota Fanning: have you decided what you want to eat? don't take 3 hours to decide like last time.
M. Night Shyamalan: the mystery here is why you guys got rid of that breakfast taco with the sunny-side-up egg on the side of the taco shell, that thing looked like an alien pod!!!

there's one shower on the whole ship. in the captain's cabin. a naked Jen and a naked me are showering together.
Jen R: why do you rinse out the grapeseed shampoo and grapeseed conditioner IMMEDIATELY after you put it on your head? leave it on for one minute before you wash, let it marinate your scalp, it's a meditative minute.
me: it's starting to burn.

Grace Slick: know why Pinehurst No. 2 is so hard? the golf course is in the shape of a rabbit...

after a long day aboard the Catalan cruiser i prepare dinner for the crew and Jen using an electric hotpot.
Jen R: careful with that thing, this ship is wood. 
me: is there a plug on this ship? is there an outlet on this ship?
Jen: is there a pool on this ship? 
me: SUPPER'S ON!!! i don't get it, i used to LOVE instant chicken ramen noodles, but now it tastes DISGUSTING to me, WHAT HAPPENED?!!!
