I crack me up: April 2006 Archives
I've been meaning to record some of my former boss's Japan-isms on this blog for some time now.
Ted, not his god-given Japanese name rather the "engrish" name he chose for himself to give Americans an easier time saying his name, is a dick. He never made any excuses or apologies about being a dick, so you kind of have to respect that about him. Once you accepted that he despised you and thought that you were the dumbest person he had ever met you always knew where you stood with him.
The problems always came when people thought that he was befriending them. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Today I just want to give you a brief introduction to Ted through his own made up phrases that he has said to me at one time or another. I have added a little context to them to make them slightly more understandable. enjoy:
- "You are a little man in a big truck" (some sort of insult directed at me)
-"Your job is sucks" (definitely an insult, also aimed at me)
- "I am tired, like a monkey in the rain" (a declaration of tiredness)
- "You think you know, but you don't know" (declaration relating to my lack of understanding a certain topic)
-"It's not easy like you think it is" (declaration pointing to the difficulty of a task at hand)
-"I am a Cowboy. You are a farmer." (I'm not sure with this one. More than likely an insult.)
-"Your house is smells like cats. You don't notice, but I do." (Keen observation/insult.)
Johnny Cash on Sesame Street? It happened. “Don’t Take Your Ones To Town”.
Alright, I think I just added a new tool in my weblog arsenal. VIDEO! I stumbled across this a while ago and loved it, but I didn't really have a way to share with you. Now, thanks to my hard work and dedication, I giive you Johnny Cash on Sesame Street parodying his song "Don't Take Your Guns to Town." I find that the video sometimes locks up on me until I hold my mouse button down. Not sure wh this is happening. I'll have the tech guys look into it. (p.s. I'm trying to find the video of the Rolling Stones doing a 1960s Rice Krispies commercial. Let me know if you've seen it floating around out there. Next step after that: the whole lost Cocksucker Blues documentary about the stones is getting posted when I find it.)
