Actually I was commenting more on what I guess is the difference between the way sentences are constructed differently in languages other than english, and how they sound amusing when spoken in english with the portugese structure.

theres a girl at my school and both of her eyes are green, but she has a little brown spot on one eye(you can only see it up close) so she goes around to everyone saying "you wanna see the turd in my eye?" quite funny...


this hasn't ever happened to me but what if their was a guy that looked pretty rough and was on the streets and then you said "here have some change" and there like "I'm not homeless"

meh nothing intresting ever happens in my life..

haha. I make nam vet comments a lot too. I don't know any vietnamese peeps, but if I did I certainly wouldn't come out with random comments like "VICTOR CHARLIEEE!!!!!" in their company.

I think I saw this in a Columbo episode some 20 years ago... someone offering him a meal and a good coat because of his grubby raincoat.

I have vague plans for World Domination

Ahh, good old Columbo. The guy that knows who committed the murder within a millisecond of stepping onto the crime scene, yet takes a whole episode to get round to telling the guy, before showing him his totally circumstantial (and often non-existant) evidence. Awesome stuff. When columbo is on the case, the best thing to do is wait till he turns to leave and then absolutely LEG IT, because you can always trust Mr C to turn round and say ".... oh, there's just one more thing ..." just when you think you've got away with it. The bastard.

I like Columbo but every episode wasn't much of a mystery. All you have to do is see who helps Columbo the most... and that's the killer.

lol but fallout i do it all the time take this photo for instance, i photoshopped it around with the slogan:

"charlie behind the coffee table!"


and as for that homeless guy one, i work retail right and this guy comes into the store with a cardboard sheet and asks about if he bought a $5 dvd does he still get the dvd player for only $30 (promo deal we have). i said yes and he walks off, then i realize the cardboard sheet he had was actually a "help me i'm poor and homeless" sign. I laughed at the shiftyness of claiming to be homless but yet looking to buy a dvd player for cheap... until he stood out the front of the store yelling at customers saying our dvd players are scum and will break easily.
