Vartever it is, it’s werry good

One of the things Diana Ser asked me which didn’t make the final cut of the Get Rea! inter­view was ‘where do you get your cues or top­ics to blog about?’, and I answered, ‘dunno, read­ing and watch­ing the news’. She then pounced with a well antic­i­pated ‘Ah hah! So! The new media still has to take its cues from tra­di­tional media!‘

Yeah vartever!

But I do read and watch the news, trawl blogs, site coun­ters and search engines, and on occa­sion, google my own blog for inter­est­ing ref­er­ences that turn up once a while (but only on occa­sion, because there’s only so much you want to know about Pat Morita). And this morn­ing was no different.

From this blog, I read with much mirth the open­ing para­graph to this one entry from another:

…blame third world edu­ca­tion for my ter­ri­ble eng­lish (it seems like an idea for a bad sit­com: let’s throw in a bunch of brown kids, and have a brown teacher who has learnt eng­lish from ANOTHER brown teacher, teach all these li’l brown­ies some eng­lish. i mean really, it’s like a gora try­ing to teach another gora some urdu. do you know that we were never taught how to pro­nounce V or W? it was always wan and wery and vhere and VHAT?! i just got it right a cou­ple of years back but i still trip over wanessa vil­liams — bitch came up with a name like that just to make life dif­fi­cult for us brownies).

Hee hee! Let’s go to Wel­wet! Let’s drive a Wolwo!
