"Shh! This is serious!" (Bingo)

September 7, 2007 - Friday

Isn't it interesting how the way someone says something can influence how you interpret or even remember a certain phrase? The inside jokes are always an example, but how about the weird shit that people say in a certain way that just cracks you up--and when anyone else says it or even some variation, you can't hear it any other way. And you can't help but laugh to yourself...

Of course, I have plenty of examples, but none of which I have recorded so as to show the humor. But, what the hell? Might as well write them down for my own amusement:

"Have a good eve." -- Nate Oliver--those who know him know this phrase too well, and it sure makes me crack up.

"B-7" -- The bingo dude at the Crystal VFW--really? How can you speak so clearly and not be able to enunciate the "seven" in this particular phrase?

"Hot hammy sammy!" -- Tim Busch -- everything to do with an elementary school principal and school lunch. And I stomp my feet on the ground I am laughing so hard.

"Hello my frien ... do you like my bah-dee?" -- Whipper -- I don't know that I have even heard him say this, but the impressions are delightful.

"To-nie! I'll have a mocha-frapaccino-latte-cafe...oh dude, my socks don't match, but I'm making a statement." -- Dave -- on the many uber-liberal, hippy-esque idiots living in Uptown.

"Hello!" (in a Peewee Herman voice) -- all the Watson girls, to the dismay of the men who call them part of their family.

"Oh man!" -- All the Briefman videos.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" -- Kristen, while grabbing my bah-dee in various areas while mimicking drunken Marcus.

I could go on for hours. But it's amusing to think about...especially because everyone has their silly stuff.
