Ohhhhhrrrrrrr Hellooooorrrrrrrrr


Ok, so I was at work and someone from "across the pond" came in and we were chatting it up and whatnot....... and it reminded me of something. If it is called the ENGLISH language, why is it that the English seem to have the hardest time with it? I motion to have it re-named to AMERICAN.


"How will I know if I speak English or American?" you might be asking yourself. Luckily I have devised a simple test. Just read the following sentence out loud to find out if you speak the TRUE English (aka - American) or "English" (aka - British).


Heather, from America, says hello.


If your sentence sounded more like, "Heatha, from Ameriker, says hellowr" you speak British. Jolly good effort though!


The "er" in Heather is not pronounced like an "a" and words ending in "a" should not sound like they end in "er" in the English language. As for the "r" added on the end of the world "hello" I have no clue but I have head it there before.


Now, some might take this as me not liking the British, which is hardly the case. The Brits are a delightful bunch of chaps who have brought the world such fantastic things such as bangers and mash, rhyme slang, and the world's hottest couple; Posh and Becks! They have one of the strongest currencies in the world and, up until recently, given James Bond that "je ne sais quoi" that makes the ladies swoon (thanks a lot for not even trying to be British Daniel Craig!).


So I guess the never-ending battle between the Brits and their rebellious American offshoot continues.

My Memo Machine Must Be Out of Memo Juice.....

Cuz I sure missed the one about today being "Drive Like an A-hole Day" here in the Grand Canyon State. But don't despair. The drivers of a Toyota 4runner, Jeep Cherokee, Honda Civic and that damn taxi obviously all have working memo machines, so the day was not left lacking some celebratory driving. They all did a fantastic job. So here is a big thumbs up to all that participated in today's holiday.


Oh wait, did I say thumbs? My bad.

The Joke's on......US?

So I don't know if anyone else is paying any attention to the McCain campaign these days, but the man is a modern day Houdini/Paris Hilton! (The best mix of illusionist/publicity-whore EVER!) I might be the only one who is on to his little stunt, but after this blog I am sure that everyone will see what I see. I submit for your review.....


I cant wait until McCain lets the cat out of the bag that Tina Fey has been playing the role of Sarah Palin all along. Once the jig is up maybe he will consider choosing a running mate that wont go for the "horny male age 18-56" vote and will snag a little of the "informed citizen" vote.

I Slept with a Millionaire......

Now, before my mom freaks out that I am sleeping with people, and a dude none-the-less, let my clarify. Ok, so I didnt exactly sleep with him...... he slept at my place.....like 4 years ago......in an entirely different room. Not the tabloid slease I am sure you were all hoping for, but the story of how he recently became a millionaire is a cool one.

I just happened to be flipping through the channels tonight and saw on of my fave gameshows, "Deal or No Deal" was on, so I decided to watch. I missed the very beginning and so I didnt see any of the introductions, but when they flashed over the the husband of pregnant contestant, I thought, "That dude looks familiar..... I think that is Ross." Turns out, for about the third time in my life, I was right. There, on national TV, was the guy that Del Sol had sent out to live with me for about a month. (Truth be told, I havent really been great at keeping in touch, but I am still going to claim him as a friend since we do have inside jokes.) Well, his wife went on to win the million dollars for the first time in the show's history. So he is now a millionaire! Here is the clip. (Note: Ross is the one in the sweet argyle sweater.)




So congrats are in order to Ross and Jessica. It couldnt have happened to a better or more deserving guy!
