And I Now Pronounce thee Mouse and Wife...
3 comments Published by a-hem on Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 3/29/2009 04:36:00 PMOne of my colleagues (that I've mentioned before) happens to be a curvaceous and attractive Moroccan girl. This Very Attractive Vixenish Officemate Of Mine (VAVOOM) speaks fluent Arabic and French. It's resulted in my picking up bits of both languages, since she's not as comfortable with English and runs to Google language tools whenever she's confronted with an unfamiliar word. The result is often reminiscent of a scene from the old Brit comedy, "Mind Your Language"
Sketch 1:
VAVOOM: You're like a faraa, habibthi.
Me: A what?
VAVOOM: Faraa. Small. Make hole in house. Eat by cat.
Me: A mouse?
VAVOOM: Naam. Yes. Wait, laaa! No!
Me: Then?
VAVOOM: The wife of the mouse.
Me: ?! You mean a female mouse?
VAVOOM: Yes!
Me: *shakes with silent laughter*
Sketch 2:
Frustrated/Unhappy Colleague (FUC): What is this bullshit?
VAVOOM: Bully sheet? What this bully sheet?
FUC: Not "Bully Sheet", "Bullshit". Look it up
VAVOOM: [scanning Google Language Tool] La, I cannot find. Two words?
FUC: Yes, Bull and Shit.
ALL: Uh-oh...
VAVOOM: Taureau? Aaah, I understand. Merde... HARAAM!
ALL: [scatter]
I really ought to submit entries to "Overheard in the Office"

'SpiderKeet! SpiderKeet! Wants to sleep! Wants to sleep!
(In case the rest of my readers are wondering, Keith is the poster child for narcolepsy. Oh, and pyromania, but that's a completely different story)
A Lone Bugle: Saw this at the national ID center, when the lady was taking my photograph. When she said "Cheese!" I almost added "flavored tortilla chip?"
Cute/weird soft toy, depending on your gender. Do you know what it is? You'll find the next picture most illuminating.
Yes, the poor rabbit. I've heard of Rabbit Pie, but this is new.
There was also one of these. So apparently this company values candies more highly than rabbits. Prejudice, I say!

Sibling's mad scientist tendencies took over, and she conducted an experiment in Gummy Bear head transplants.None survived, sadly.
