Here is a party trick: I can have any one of you thinking in Mandarin in less than three minutes.

Betcha can't. I've got the IQ of a small appliance bulb.

Busy day tomorrow and it starts earlier than I do. See ya's when I can.

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Good morning brothers and sisters!

Mostly cloudy today starting at 57F and predicted to reach 76F.

I whomped up a big batch of fried green tomatoes yesterday using Tony Chacheres fish fry for a coating, which were good, but didn't like it any more than my corn meal and breadcrumbs recipe.

Damm! brilliant !
Do you have inspections in your state?

Yep but I got that covered.

 

[WeedHopper]

Do y’all have state inspections? They look for that in Virginia

I know a few inspectors. Not a problem for me.

"Of course, I have learned a ton now. Now I know it is a fargin intensive care ICU operation done with horrendous expense and effort."

I smoked my first joint at 14. At 66, I knew nothing of any of this stuff until I put a seed in a pot last spring. It's a bit overwhelming to me. I don't even know the lingo, or terminology yet.

You went to Yale....I went to Heartbreak Ridge....bet we could beat you at football!

Total Trivia: On the FIFTH floor of the Athletic Department... that's where the rowing room is. You can practice rowing your scull (it don't move, but the oars are moving water in trenches at either side).

I do not believe your pitiable Heartfelt Grudge could ever match the record set by the Yalie football team: 360 to 0. <-- That is stone fact score. Towards the end of that game, when Yale kicked off once more, two opposing players were arguing which one should pick up the ball and face the monsters coming down on them.

Neither did, and it was another Yale touchdown. After that, Yale went on to other things that were tougher than football.

Nobody’s taking the bait Walt…

Awright. Lemme describe the method, and if you get someone (anyone) to hold up the objects, you can think in Mandarin very quickly:

Get three objects. Let's pick a pen, a piece of paper, and a book.

I hold up the pen and say, "This is a French pen. In Mandarin, it is a "Fagwo bi" (pronounced "fah-gwo bee"). Look at the French pen and say, Fagwo bi."

I hold up the piece of paper and say, "This is a Chinese paper. In Mandarin, it is a Junggwo ger (joongwoe ger). Look at the Chinese paper and say, Jungwo ger."

I hold up the book. This one is an American book. Say Meigwo shu."

I hold up the pen and get you to repeat the words aloud: Fagwo bi

Yada for the other two objects: I get you to say the Mandarin word you just learned for each.

I speed up the choice of objects and take them out of turn, saying the name and having you repeat it. I do this at a slightly accelerated rate for about thirty seconds.

Then I hold up the Meigwo shu and you look at it and say, "Meigwo shu".

AT THAT INSTANT!!! THAT INSTANT YOU SAW THE OBJECT AND NAMED IT IN MANDARIN!

You looked at the book and saw a Miegwo shu. NOT An American book.

You were thinking in Mandarin, and not three minutes have passed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is a thousand times more effective if you have someone to hold up the objects at random for you to name.

There It is.

[Unca Walt]

I doan wanna repeat myself again. So take the test.

 

[Unca Walt]

Hah! In the interim, I wuz talkin' over the fence with my neighbor's handyman. He'd just shown up and his boss wasn't ready to leave yet. We got gumpin' and there was a leaf and I had a pen.

"I can have you thinking in Mandarin in less than two minutes." <-- He looked at me like I was from Mars. Game on!

I told him the name -- in Mandarin -- of the American leaf and had him repeat it. Showed him the French pen and had him repeat the Mandarin word for it after me.

Switched hands, held up the "French pen", and the dreadlocks bedecked handyman said, "Fagwo bi".

I smiled and said, "YOU were just thinking in Mandarin, weren't you! That was a Fagwo bi, NOT a French pen!!"

He was absolutely delighted. And amazed. He said, "My God! It WAS a Fagwo bi!!"

Like we useta say: There It Is.

 

[joeb631a]

Oh wow, I just saw that. That is super spooky. Are you thinking the same thing Im thinking?

since we met

 

[user 60570]

that kinda sounds like how I learned some bad words in Spanish

like women’s body parts , a lot of deleted expletives , and tools

i would hold up a shovel and ask one of the beaners , what is this?…pala…hammer?..martillo…… breasts and so on and so forth until I could actually tell the workers n Spanish what tools we needed for the job

and then I went to college and took Spanish cause I though I could get an easy A in that class

wrong!

I barely got outta there with a C

all them cuss words never eloped me one bit
