I loved the one where he explained the impossibility of learning the genders of French nouns: "Naturally, a chicken, because it's female and lays eggs, is masculine...." :)Zarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179474701017566772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-85120003716991951072010-06-13T01:22:18.639-04:002010-06-13T01:22:18.639-04:00Thanks, Sonshine!
Me you too, LK.
Not even a sat...<br>Thanks, Sonshine!<br /><br />Me you too, LK.<br /><br /><i>Not even a satisfying "Damn it!" every now and again?</i><br /><br />Oh, heck, yeah, I curse sometimes, Make a Joan Man Cry. <br /><br />I didn't go past the <i>damn</i>s and <i>hell</i>s for years — 'til college, really — just out of personal preference and (lack of) habit. Since then, and especially since getting sick, I find myself muttering the Big Ones on occasion when I realize I've forgotten something or made something harder on myself, but I tend not to indulge in the more esoteric stuff. While I have mixed feelings on the subject, I don't condemn anyone else for their language among fellow adults, and I can definitely laugh at filthy material if it's genuinely funny and not gross for grossness' sake. <br /><br />As far as David Sedaris goes, I picked up a couple of his books damaged or remaindered and got others from the library, not that I've read quite all of his stuff. Right now most of my books are stacked or in boxes, waiting for me to find the energy and maneuver around my tiny living space to finally set up bookshelves, but one day it'd be nice to have them on display to show off and lend out. I highly recommend Sarah Vowell if you like his stuff, although she's taken a turn away from his sort of dry-wit personal essay to dry-wit historical research.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-87621338719831952292010-06-12T17:39:41.562-04:002010-06-12T17:39:41.562-04:00Stay genki, Blam... 私はあなたを欠場!!!Stay genki, Blam... 私はあなたを欠場!!!El Quéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853255978667966997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-55465295272742617392010-06-12T08:57:21.146-04:002010-06-12T08:57:21.146-04:00haha!

This post reminded me of a sign I saw from China that says "Watch out for this sign" and has a picture on the sign of someone bonking their head...on the sign. You should go to Engrish.com. <br />I really liked "When You Are Engulfed in Flames"! I bought it on sale but it wasn't <i>really</i> cheap and I find his books are prohibitively expensive. You never see them at thrift stores either...nobody gets rid of them, naturally. <br />I wonder, Blam Chowder, do you curse in real life? <br /><br />Never?
