Pidgin & Friday Five

Sunday, Jul. 23, 2006 - 7:12 a.m.

I've been having fun over in the pidgin english section of the website for Radio Australia.

A 'pidgin' form of a language is an artificial construct between two languages so that two separate cultures may communicate with one another.

For fun, you might want to go to the website and see how much of it you can understand.

I'm reading where Saddam Hussein has been on a hunger strike and as a result is now in a hospital being force-fed.

Excuse me -- What?

WHY?

It's going to be hot here in California again. And the global warming wags are going full speed.

Um -- I'll say this as many times as I need to.

The reason it's hot is because it's JULY.

This is SUMMER TIME for us here in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hey, you know what I didn't do on Friday? ...

What talent(s) do you have that could make you famous?

I can write. I doubt that would make me famous, though.

If you could be famous for one day, what would you do?

If I were famous for one day, I'd get a decent hairdo and suck my stomach in until people were finished looking at me.

If you were so famous that money was no object, where would you live?

If I had a million dollars... I'd buy your loooo- ooo- ove...

If you could meet any famous person, who would it be?

Oh, I don't know. Oh wait, yes I do. I'd want to meet Nicholas Campbell.

What would be your famous catch phrase/quote/motto/last words?

I still like Goethe's quote: "Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Friday Fives are available via the links to the left.

Okay, that's it.

Finally -- congratulations to Floyd Landis.
