Vienna Brussels Unitarian Universalists and the Black Sheep
My colleagues and I are starting to joke with the UUs a bit. Thez are nice people and they mean no harm but they are just so incredibly into a religion that is not a religion the way i see it. i ask them a lot of questions about it and they do not seem to know the answers. my colleague joked about the fact that by the end of the tour they will start doubting about their religion, that they will think ´nico made me realise that i do not really know what my religion is´. so basically i should stop asking them questions
i called the UU rep in Frankfurt. he is american. there are no UUs in germany. There are german unitarians but ´american universalists won t stand them´is what he told me. I think they are just a bunch of hippies who sort of needed to form a community in the seventies.
a few things that i thought were not that ´good hearted´:
Arjan did a speech about the Main Danube canal but the UUs were playing bridge and talked/laughed out loud not even considering the fact that 80 people try to listen to what arjan was saying.
One of the UU is a almost demented old lady who signed up for three optional tours, but three of the others came to tell me that she is not up to doing those tours. i had a conversation with the old woman who got really mad that they would interfere with her choices.
And then the way they react to our black sheep. They avoid her, criticize her. even laugh at her. Not so good hearted really.
There is one older lady UU who is so grandmotherly sweet that you just want to take her home. She is so nice. but she came to ask me almost in panic who she was sharing a room with in Brussels. She feared she had to share the room with that ´elaine´woman (the black sheep) but when i told here she had to share with the almost demented UU woman, she sighed.
The Black Sheep is called Elaine Bender. She is really quite something. She is very annoying but she is cool to talk about though. She has a few nicknames already. Some call her the walking sigaret or that elaine woman , but most people call her Puffy. She is incredible in her rudeness and antisocial behaviour. SHe interferes in every single conversation. i think she ate at almost every passenger table already and nobody wants her. She takes stuff out of other peoples plates to taste them. She lost her sun glasses and accused some people of taking them. she accused me for pointing her out to the wrong directions. I wish she did get lost. I think half of the people in the lounge play bridge but she asked us to make an announcement that if there were people who play bridge they have to sign up. Duh. we made a sign up sheet though and when the four people who were on there got together and saw elaine had come up with the idea they suddenly had a headache or had taken a sleeping pill. Elaine is from new york, is 78 and worked as nurse. I cannot imagine how many people wanted to die knowing that she would be treating them. anways. she is from nyc and today in nuernburg our driver got mad at some bikers and was quite offensive in his use of words. She said: finally a driver with an attitude that i like! After the city tour she asked the local guide where she could get sigarettes. mr puma (a cool italo american lawyer) replied: yeah, smoke some more, it will kill you faster. followed by laugher of the group
