You know, nothing beats the sheer joy of playing Red Rover on a weekend while shopping in hell. Though with this past long weekend notwithstanding, I do realize where the entire Lower Mainland disappeared to. Yup, instead of hitting the beach, mountains, et al, they decided to plug up all the supermarket aisles for a consecutive 72 hour period. Frakking gits.
But nothing gives me greater glee than to either be blunt with, or give my Gordie Howe impression to, the twats who just HAPPEN to block my way, cut me off, or try to force me to turn around even though it should be them who should yield right of way to me. Coming a close second though, is my blatant mispronunciation of words, just to be obtuse. Quay, pedometer, and crouton come to mind. But the best is when I really kick into some English pronunciations. And the one coming up most recently: Derby. Yes, with Derby’s football team making it to the Premiership this year, Derby is on the brain. But back on the pronunciation thing… how on Earth is the letters er pronounced ARR!?!?
Think of other words with er somehwere in them? Pronounced phonetically based on Derby being the rule, not the exception, I offer the following:
Pokarr
Nevarr
Rivarr
Suparrman
Ordarr
Trailarr
VickARRs!!!
Arr! You call that an anchor. Arr! I feel like this guy…
Now to listen to sixty of my favourite sea chanties, all on Compact Disc.
That is all.
