"Lysdexia"
Not that I’m making light of the situation east of Iran, but I am dyslexic with certain words and I have to re-read them to make sure that I got them right the first time.
So as an example, “secretarian violence explodes across Iraq,” was actually “sectarian violence explodes across Iraq.”
It did give me hope for all of one second, I figured that the secretaries just were just fed up and they rebelled...
”Why don’t you make the coffee for once?”
“Pick up your own damn dry cleaning!”
“Why don’t you take care of it for a change? You see, unlike you, I actually work. I don’t just sit in my office all day and do online trading, online poker, surf for porn or whatever the hell it is that you do that makes you turn the monitor off whenever someone knocks on your office door!”
But alas, methinks not. Quoth the Emily Littela, “never mind.”

I remember reading an interview with the guys from Wham! way back when. (Why I remember that is beyond me, but anyway.) The "other guy" said something to the effect of "George is much kinder than me". And I went crazy for weeks trying to figure out if "kinder" was some British slang. I was pronouncing it kin-der with a short i sound. EVERY time I read it, and for some reason I didn't figure it out until much later. I just always assume those Brits are coming up with all kinds of weird words.
Hey, Becka, hey, Becka, hey!
Where the heck have you been?
That's Andrew Ridgely (sp?). I remember a comedian spent four seperate TV appearances bagging on him and Oates of Darryl Hall and John-fame.
It was something to the effect that those guys should've thanked their lucky stars that they got to be on stage, that they should be should be thankful that they got paid and just what the f*** was it that they contributed, anyway?
I wonder if the interviewer was having fun with his accent and the editor printed it verbatium oooorrr...was he trying to give us a little hint about George?
