New Credo

I have a new credo I’m going to integrate into my life:

“Never trust any language where you don’t pronounce all the syllables and letters.”

Specifically, the French language.

English, too.

So I’ll be posting in Italian until English (and French to a lesser extent) regains my trust.

Why the hysteria? Because yet again, the French and their goofy language have betrayed me. For VaIentine’s Day I tried to buy Reha some nice parfum (the real stuff, none of that Eau de Toilette nonsense) and I was foiled and deceived by both languages.

Espirt de parfum is NOT just parfum in spritzer/spray form, you STUPID, DUMB web merchant, who obviously doesn’t speak French either.

Va bene, adesso vado a piangere nell’angolo della stanza. Nostra giornata del coure è stato rovinata da scemi e cretini!

  1. I’m totally laughing WITH you, not AT you...LOL

    OK, I’m laughing at you.  I admit it.

    It’s the thought that counts, and I don’t even know what the heck the difference is!

  2. I’m sorry dumb people left you crying in a corner!

    I loathe French.  As an opera singer I had to take several years of diction and French always made me tear my hair out. :S

  3. Could be worse, could have been Eau de Cologne. :(

  4. Dummies and cretins are in every corner of this fine world.

    Best to build a bridge and get over it.

    uh, when you build it, let me know cuz I haven’t figured out how to.

  5. I don’t know what the difference is either!  Do tell!  The Internet is no help this time.

  6. No, don’t cry in the corner!  Isn’t it the thought that counts?

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
