It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—at least, that’s the way they tell me it was. Because to be honest with you, I kinda lost those few years to the pipe. Not to mention all the time I spent trying to translate Molière into Chinese so that the tres bien little Oriental chick who did my laundry would go to bed with me.
Turns out the bitch was Vietnamese. Which, that was quite the bummer, I must say.
Makes one mad enough to grab a musket and blaze away at Swiss guarding a French prison…
Hey, Jeff:
Here’s some material for your “smirky rodeo ride” bit: “Support for bin Laden falls in Muslim countries”
Trying to speak Chinese, trying to speak Vietnamese, and trying to pronounce Molière correctly all make my sinuses ache.
Turing = heavy, as in Thus do even the most tossed-off PW posts achieve a meta-interstitial-synchronicity in the minds of the readers, in a manner in which Sixties types would have termed most heavy.

What have you got against Vietnamese bitches?
Racist!!!
Still, Jeff, that Mandarin translation of Tartuffe you produced a few years ago is still one of the hottest illegal downloads in all of the People’s Republic of China. I think a certain dolphin in a pea coat might want to consider that before he starts giving you heat about wasted years.
Although I must object to the pictogram you used for Tartuffe. “Hairy barbarian fast mouth”, indeed.
If she was Vietnamese there’s a good chance she would have understood it in the original French. Quelle ironie!

Here’s a good question: If expect means “to presume or suppose” and orate means “to speak in a formal manner”, then why does expectorate somehow mean “To cough up and eject by spitting”?
This kinda shit drives the Krauts crazy. English, what a language.
Hey, given that English is a germanic language, don’t the Krauts deserve part of the blame?
You were blogging then?

Yeah, those Vietnamese girls give great hummer, Jeff. And if you think they’re good, those Thai bar girls … what’s that ? Oh, bummer. That’s completely different, then. Sorry.
About the no-nookie thing, I mean, not the Thai bar girls.
