que chevere es hablar en espanol

 


(falta el pais con la segunda mayor poblacion de hispanohablantes, gringolandia)


esta noche he hablado bastante espanol

hable con un venezolano

con varios chilenos

con un mexicano

con unos colombianos

un puerto riqueno

una espanola

y un argentino


cuantos acentos

cuanta jerga

cuanta confusion!

y

cuanto placer!

SPINAL TAP 2: THE END CONTINUES




after so many years since the OG spinal tap
which remains one of the cleverest and most amusing films of the last seven thousands years.
there was always the danger that this would not live up to the lightning in a bottle (where the fuck did that come from?) of the first movie.
no pressure then...

allora, its nowhere near as staggeringly smart or funny as the original (what is?)
tuttavia, it is a delight and highly enjoyable and most certainly doesnt do a disservice to it.
dunque, if you loved the original (and if you didnt, you are fucking dead inside) watch this, its top notch, is faithful to the canon and adds richness to the tap universe in a lovely, diverting manner.

and you cant go wrong by crushing elton john with (full sized) menhir!

word of the weak - paraprosdokian




A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the end of a sentence or phrase comes as a surprise, forcing a reinterpretation of the first part. The name comes from the Greek for "against expectation". This rhetorical device is often used for humorous or dramatic effect


 now go and throw around some paraprosdokians at your next Debate the Trevor Club meeting.

THE TIME THAT REMAINS




an outstanding, bleakly funny movie about life in palestine since they lost their nationhood
it finds humour in the grim life of palestinians under the thumb of cruel colonialist overlords
which is quite a feat
the overall situation is quite depressing
but between the brutality and humiliation
there are diverting vignettes and absurdist delights
its not perfect 
but considering how difficult it must be to finance and shoot a film in palestine
it stands as a relative masterpiece
watch this film 
and FREE PALESTINE!

its harry on the phone




piggy misery!
mister burns and (to a lesser extent) smithers voices have gone right down the shitter
i havent watched i simpson for decenni
and fair play
harry shearer is no pollo di primavera
but those voices are pitiful

surely its time for the show to say
thank you, drive through
(of which more to follow)

lunar house


sounds exotic right?



lunar house is found in croydon 

a rather ordinary bit of south london

it didnt use to be

since jebus was a lad

it was part of slurrey

until voracious greater london gobbled it up

to obtain more space for financial services and giant houses for russian/arab plutocrats


i have spent way too long there

not just because i had fam to crash with

on one of my multitudinous traverses of big town


lunar house is home to UK immigration

where one has to go and wait for countless dreary hours for your number to be called

with any visa type issues

(and you had better hope you had all the correct paperwork!)


in the second half of the 1390s

i had plenty of those due to

lost passports

renewing of ancestry visas

applications for indefinite leave to remain (unhinged)


a lunar hour is more than 700 gaian hours

and with some undoubtedly impressive tech manouevres 

the department of immigration has managed to implement it in real time

in their particular corner of lahndahn

to leave the (usually) unsatisfied applicant staggering disoriented 

out into stark grey of london daytime

almost a month after they entered


and in these unimaginably lengthy hours

smart phones werent a thing

so if you hadnt planned ahead and brought a few copies of war and peace with you

you would feel your ears and nose prolonging

as the present elongates beyond the rows of chairs and perspex screens

engulfing all sense of time and space

as you longed for a mercifully quick death

to bring an end to your interminable tedium


and nary a selenite to spy

Too much MALAKIA!




speaking multiple languages is extremely difficult
swearing in multiple languages is considerably less so
nevertheless, just maybe, gattuso is quite cerebral after all...

quindi Ringhio...
well done! bravo! Μπράβο!
(moreso to his long suffering interpreter! you can almost see his brain cranking away)

2001 (posts) - a bullshit odyssey


in a whirrrrled... where the epic tale of tosh of who ever heard of a limebeaver? was told in spectacular narrow screen, in full (tinny) mono   





via a futuristic pedal powered mechanical turk called LAH 29002

- 'this case calls for a thermo-nuclear lie detector, dave'

- 'something vaguely factual? sorry dave, this blog can only consist of excreta'




an obelisk of extra terrestrial calfshit first placed by an advanced alien civilisation?

(as kriss kross celebrated in their famous historical/sci-fi epic - just give me kiss on top of the obelisk)





and the infamous time/light enlightenment metaphor - inferring that primitive calfshit may have evolved into todays digital hyper bullshit...

word of the weak - abecedarius

 


An abecedarius is a special type of acrostic in which the first letter of every word, strophe or verse follows the order of the letters in the alphabet.


now go and make an abecedarius with the names of the songs by your fave band, put it in a flask and send it into space. (unless you have awful taste, if so, follow steps 1 and 2, then shove it violently up your behind.)


nb. para los miles de hispanohablantes entre ustedes, no es lo mismo que un abecedario, que es una lista del alfabeto. es un AMIGO FALSO!

porque los michis se llaman asi



 

como muchas cosas CHIDAS, el nombre viene de mexico!

(raremente, este nombre es muy parecido a la palabra italiana con el mismo signficado - 'micio' (pron. 'micho'), pero no son relacionadas porque vienen de familias linguisticas muy distinctas.)

chicken a la king ou les problemes d'un polyglotte no. je sais pas




il-y-a quelques jours j'ai mange un plat appele chicken a la king
putain!
ca na va pas!
car en francais
le roi est est vachement masculin!
c'est pour ca qu'il s'appelle LE roi
donc il devrait s'appeler chicken AU king
s'ils voulaient l'appeler alla feminine
ils faudraient l'appeler chicken a la reine!
(bien sur, en laissant de côté quelques nouvelles questions de genre)
(mais je vous defi de ecrire ces choses avec mon francais rouille!)

bla bla (car)...
