Title: Lady Who Was "Disappointed"
Post by: ian on December 12, 2007, 01:01:48 PM
I think maybe there was a miscommunication there, it sounded like she wanted to add to the topic in a good way and maybe English wasn't her first language. I was listening, going "Whoa, Tom hold on".

Fixed (No Country For Old Men-style).

Honestly, that sounded like a phony accent.

If it wasn't, she deserves to have her wrist slapped for not recognizing that with her grasp of the language she really shouldn't be calling a radio show.  She doesn't have to know how to speak English, but she should have had the wit not to bother the Kid.

If it was a put-on, she deserves to have her face slapped.

Speak English or GET OFF MY PHONE

How about "Speak intelligibly, or GET OFF MY PHONE!" (notice I don't suggest, "Speak intelligently . . .").

Note:  I realize I risk being branded a xenophobe here, and I don't deserve the label.  I simply know that when I've been in a foreign country, if I couldn't communicate clearly in the native language, I wouldn't inflict my ineptitude on others--at least, not unless I absolutely had to.

No, I also bought it. I swear, I heard Moldova instead of Molvania. The dude wearing the mullet wig and fake mustache is an Australian comedian. I imagine his lady friend on the keytar is also Australian. I'm sad it's not real. :( Almost as sad as the day my JEM! Kimber Keytar broke. Actually, I was outraged more than I was sad. Truly, truly outraged.

I'm sad now. I really wanted to believe.

You still have the crazy earrings, though, don't you?

I snuck watching Jem at my friends houses. And Lady Lovely Locks. My mom wouldn't let me watch TV unless it was PBS and then only on weekends. As a result, I am ravenous about pop culture now, to a disturbing degree.

Bobo, is that Rutgers?  If it is, I teach in the building in the upper left of the photo.  If it's just a generic state u. area, well, then I'm just depressed.

naw, that's outside Seattle Central Community College. Fun fact: Duff from Guns N Roses went there after the band broke up to study business!

And what did he use his degree for? Some company named Velvet Revolver.

He should be using it to strategically sell product to fiends in the pit or the towers.

Yep, generic state-college buildings, that's pretty depressing all right.  Though at least I've never had to teach English Comp to a member of Velvet Revolver.  On the other hand, it might be kind of interesting if I had to teach him the concept of Gramscian hegemony in that "Rebels" class.

At least you never had to be a student there. Class of 1993, represent!
