Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Countdown: 143 days

Special Edition DVDness has been achieved. I am a happy camper fangirl. Screencaps of Boromir all I want! Yay!

Worst pickup line ever, courtesy of the bloke who tried to hit on me in the train yesterday: "I'm from Al-Quaeda."

Tri: Excuse me?
Melle: My point, yo! I was writing on the laptop, and I had a book lying next to me. Coincidentally, it was Peter Whatsisname's book on the IRA and the history of NI.
Him: "So, you like the terrorists?"
Me: "... I'm interested in the IRA."
Him: "I'm a terrorist, you know."
Me (radiating "Not Interested"): "M-hm?"
Him: "I'm with Al Quaeda. I'm in Belgium for one purpose: to kill the US Ambassador."
Me: "*snort* Right. Here's a tip: assasinations usually have more chance to succeed when you don't reveal your plans to random chicks on the train."
Tri: *giggles madly* What'd he say?
Melle: He went on to try THE EXACT SAME SHTICK on the girl sitting on the other side of the aisle.

Nothing will ever quite match that in terms of "WTF"-erlebniz.

Old? Loud voice? Pretend English Fake Accent? Not shaven? Last I heard, he was busy as an undercover agent. But that was on the coastal tram, not the train.

Him: "I'm with Al Quaeda. I'm in Belgium for one purpose: to kill the US Ambassador."

*rolls eyes* What's next?

I'd say, in his thirties, black, bearded. Not the same guy, I don't think. Which means there's more than one person out there pulling this shit. Collegues suggested I should have called the cops. Was, at the time, tempted, but was too tired to want to bother with the hassle.

Aah. Doesn't help one much. If they don't look intoxicated, there isn't much they can do.
On the incident with the coastal tram, they rang for a security dude of De Lijn and they tried to get him of the tram but he just kept saying 'F.Y.' in this slow slow slow English Fake Accent.

The girl(pretty thing) that he was harrassing just nodded and smiled the whole 45 minutes she was talked to.
I think I would have freaked.

But! He said he was in AL QUAEDA!!!!11!! *big wide eyes*

I should've called the CIA, man. Heh.

*hehe* The police might hire him as a diversion to infiltrate in real Al-Quaida cells.

I should've called the CIA, man. Heh.

*nods* They'd be here in a snap. Right on top of us - claiming we give Al Quaida cells free play to do whatever they want, although they have no proof. (I'm all for the conspiracy theory)

It's just not normal to have creeps on the train trying the "I'm a terrorist. Date me." pickup line.

Oh. My. GOD. That's TOO fucked up.

!!! Bend it like Beckham! I have my little bootleg copy, but I am so psyched for seeing it in the theatres.

(Is it sad that I've seen only four out of all of those movies? And two, obviously, are CoS and TTT?)
