The person who cuts my hair is very excited about the rumor that chi-pol-Tay is coming to town. It's driving me crazy. I don't understand how anyone in this part of the country can totally fuck up Spanish words.
I can't believe how fucking bad I ate yesterday. If I spend time on the toilet paying for yesterday's gluttony, it would actually be a relief knowing my body was rejecting the junk I put into it.
Jesus, I got fucked up last night. Oh well, only one way to deal with this: Spoiler BOILED PEANUT PARTY!
I was hoping it'd be a pic of gumbo. Boiling peanuts, while awesome I'm sure, doesn't quite seem like hangover food to me. This is what I crave when I have the Irish Flu. Spoiler
WAY too hot for gumbo, my man. Everything is done according the season- you can't beat a good boiled peanut this time of year (paired with cold beer and football). EDIT: Forgot to add that I also grilled some boudin that I picked up on my way home from the LSU/Wisconsin game. That with some fried eggs this morning put me back in game-mode.
Boudin is one of nature's curatives for almost all ailments. Aside from Juicing yourself like a roman candle on the fritz. Nothing makes the world less nightmarish than soft, gooey, spicy swine sausage. If shipping wasn't retarded, I'd order several pounds of it. Look at that, just get in there: Anything with roasted green chilies works too. Spaghetti Puttanesca is another. Anchovies and hot pepper pasta, olives, capers. Gut full of that, head full of pepper. That's how to start a day. Hell, fuck the hangover. Eat this anyway.
Today is my dogs birthday so I took him goose hunting. Didn't get to shoot anything but we still had a great day. Now its time to drink some of my dad's beers in their backyard overlooking my hometown. I love these hunting weekends.
What I don't get is America seems to be the only culture that places some emphasis on 'pronouncing words as if we're native speakers' bullshit. You go to other countries and are they pronouncing English words like native speakers? Nope, not usually. I'm not talking about accent, or people that speak English fluently, I'm talking about average people in other languages pronouncing English words. They never get them 'right' - and they don't give a fuck. I really think that's the way to go.
Milwaukee's Best for 5.89 a 12 pack? I'll take 4 please, now all I gotta figure out is what is getting put on the smoker tomorrow, thinking a block of Livermush and a chub of Braunschweiger. Should pair nicely with my pickled eggs. The stench Monday morning will be weapons grade.
I had no idea "ji-row" was wrong. It's still ji-row to me, fuck it, last time I checked this was 'Murica!! Or whatever. The only time mispronunciations like that bothers me is when it's a common foreign name that everybody knows. For example, Joe Rogan refers to the featherweight champ as "Joe-zay" Aldo and it drives me fucking bonkers. Is Jose really that hard of a name? Especially if you live in fucking California?!
Except that his name is actually "Joe-zay"...He's Brazilian and Jose in Portuguese is pronounced differently than Jose in Spanish.
Wait. How are you saying "crepe"? Are you calling it a "creepy" or a "cray-pay"? At least "gyro" is Greek and not many folks have a Greek population in their town. They know the thing from some carny barking out of a window every year when the fair rolls around. I didn't know it was "eero" until I was 20ish. That's a liverwurst, yeah? I love a good liverwurst on toast with thinly sliced vidalia onion and pepper spray hot mustard. Your breath afterwards is how Jack Elam looks.
Actually Rogan gets it sort of right. He's from Brazil which means he most likely speaks Portuguese not Spanish. So it's not quite as pronounced as Rogan makes it, but it's not pronouced HO-ZAY, it's more of an S sound for the J than an strong J, like Soh-Zay.
Well, shit. I knew he was from Brazil, didn't know that's how they pronounce Jose. Speaking of Portuguese, and this is completely unrelated, everybody should go watch this movie: I just watched it for the third time recently. I've recommended it on here a couple times before, but it's worth mentioning again. The title sounds cheesy, but that's just a translation issue... or a poor title choice, I don't know. The movie is fucking good.
I've made a million pickles today. Dill pickles, spicy pickled cauliflower, spiced pickled beets and pearl onions... everything smells like vinegar.
In the words of Kyle Kinane - "It's not like somebody in Saigon is saying 'it's pronounced meatball sandwich. Stop being culturally insensitive!'"
