Who is right?
I love the movies and go quite a lot and have NEVER had the sort of experience that LJ talks of //. the audiences were always very quiet and respectful . and this was even at Men in Black in 3 d or Avatar /// although (I am sorry, this is a Spanish keyboard and my little net book is on the fritz and I do not know where half the damn punctuation marks are )
I do tend to only go out for the more intellectual movies and not Freddy Krugers. But for SOME movies, like Pirates of the Caribbean, I would EXpect the audience to participate a bit, no?
But Dominicans do make a noise, that is true.
most of the time, i like the tune
and i know that you do too, but clearly what with the in laws and the baby shower and the christmas thing all piling up and yes! another kid on the way
YOU NEED A HUG
here, here is a hug, laurajean
its gonna be ok!

My own favorite is when you get a phone call or about to make one, the volume of talking seems to go up.
i prefer to describe it in two words...TOO LOUD. i hope that i do not receive a lashing from Chip on this one, since he excoriated me before, reminding me that ,culturally, Dominicans do not value quietude, and i should learn to understand that.
This is why I don't go to the movies when in the DR. Last time I went it was to see one of the harry potter movies (the one where the snake was first featured) coincidentally a merengue song talking about a snake was a big hit at the time and every time the snake would make an appearance this broad behind me would start singing "una culebra papi una culebra" I walked out after the third time she did it. I was f'in ****ed! No respect!!!
Does supermarket here have proper sausages that I used to love? Like Nathan's or Sabrett branded sausage? Hack I will even settle for Hebrew's or Ball Park. I went to Nacional and last time they did not have any...
believe it or not when i was in SD last week i saw nathan's hot dog shop. i do not know if it's just the name or the brand itself. on churchill street, maybe 200 meters from metro.
not that i know nathan's, having never been to the states. here on the north coast i buy a variety of german sausages. but i always look for nathan's out of curiosity in pricesamrt, i remember someone once said they sell it. they did not, so far.

Nathan's is possibly the best hot dog in the world. Certainly the best you can ever get here. Pola in Bavaro has them once in awhile. Last time I bought 21 packages of 8 and shoved them in my freezer. I would have bought more, but that is all they had. I am still eating them on the grill months later.
This replaced Badpiece's job to bring Nathan's from NY. Now I don't bother him anymore.

i see. it's possible that i can never get to try nathan's because some zealous american freak buys everything there is to buy!
I did leave the ones with Cheese in them. Only eat the original beef hot dog.
Nathan's Famous - Welcome to Nathan's
They have an online store now.
21 packages, whoa! When I was a little girl, my dad used to pile us in the car and drive to Coney Island just to get Nathan's hot dogs. I remember how happy he was the first time Mom found them in a store. I still buy them.
Last week I drove to Long Island for a funeral with my daughter and 6 yr old grandson, and as we approached Coney Island we had a whole conversation about when grandma [me] was a little girl, Steeplechase Pier, the Cyclone, the Parachute Jump, and NATHANS! The little guy was duly impressed, ha ha!
Hebrew National would be my second choice. But you have to boil those. Nathan's is best grilled.
see, johnnyboy, don't tell me i have something on america! when i read all those posts i wanna go there so bad! first stop: walmart. yes, i know, i know. but all the choice of all the foods they have there. sodas. sweets. more sweets! and POW. i need to be one of them!
