Italy is quite possibly the most fun place in the entire world. It may not have the very best beach on the planet, and it may not have the very best mountain on the planet, but it has the second-best beach AND the second-best mountain AND both of them have an Italian restaurant on them. Oh and then there's like Rome and stuff.
But these are not the real reasons why Italy is more fun than everywhere else. The real reason is this: Italians care so much about fun that the Italian language has suffix whose sole purpose is to turn a word into a party. Any word. It's a suffix you add onto a word and the word goes *POOF* and becomes a party. And the suffix is: -ATA Got a grill? Have yourself a GRIGLIATA Eating sad spaghetti all alone? Throw a SPAGHETTATA Feeling blue and your name is Jim? Why not a JIMATA? Wish we had thought of that. There are some terms you will never find in the dictionary. Nor would you ever look for them in the dictionary. Because they haven't been translated. And they don't need to be translated. And actually, they can't be translated. Probably no attempt should be made to translate such terms, because such an attempt would be a massive waste of everyone's time. But anyway, here they are: The Italian word for ADAM SANDLER is CHECCO ZALONE: With such similar lyrical and musical tastes, they should definitely start a band, but how could they ever decide who was the better lead singer? And who had better moves? And a hotter girlfriend? Well, let's let them sort it out...
