Funny Bullsheet

A witty dialogue between my friend George Michael (Gregoire) and I on the way to lunch today. Sometimes it goes like this:

"boool, booul, boooolsht, buuuuuuulsheet. " -GM

"Bullshit. Bullshit." -DM

"booolsheeeeeet. booolshheit. sheeeet" -GM

"almost..." -DM

"Its like when one person, he say to other person, 'what are you saying is wrong'." -GM

"Yes. exactement. this is bullshit." -DM

"Deeahhne, you are full of bullshheeeet." -GM

"Oui. I know. I never said I wasnt. Its one of the best things about me."-DM

"Ah Yes. Ok. I think I know this... I am so tie red today." -GM

"tie red?" (thinking thinking thinking....) "oh Tired!!! yes me too." -DM

"what do you say Teeered? Terrrrred?" -GM

"Tie urd. Tired." -DM

One of the most common language barriers I have found so far is the differentiation in sound of the I. Here, the I is always pronounced ee. Not sometimes this or that, like it is in the English language. For example, Chinese is pronouned Sheenwah and written chinoise or chinois.
So essentially now that I think about it, you could take this same rule and apply it the same way the chinoise mix the L and R sounds. Rike Lock and Loll for example. Anyway...

Our language barriers are so funny sometimes that, more often than not, it becomes the actual getting from point A to point B that is the interesting and fun part. Its actually getting to what the point may be. Its the journey, not the destination, if you will.

So I myself am a big fan of games; Board games, crosswords, word problems etc... so today was no different. It was just like playing a game. It took George Michael and I almost 20 minutes today to get to the point. Heres just a clip... Imagine (pron: Ee mah jee nay)

"Deeahhne, what is it when it rains, or like in the country and there's water? And maybe there is a mountain... when its wet?" -GM

Now mind you, I have NO idea what he is about to get at. We are just walking along, casual conversation. But with the French, you never know; Could be Sarkozy, could be the Next Big Thing in Tech, could be some Russian water polo player in the Olympics... I mean you just really never know what they're gonna want to talk about.

So we continue through the exercise...

"Dew? Mist? Is it a movie? Brokeback Mountain? Greggy, I have no idea..." -DM

"No its like it gets on your shoes. You know you have to wipe them after... and maybe you are walking on a hill or something." -GM

"You mean Sheeeet? Like a cow or something? You step in sheet? or Mud?" -DM

"Oui! Yes Mud! I like mud wrestling!" -GM

"Really? You just get the XXX channel at home or...?" -DM

"Oh I dont know. No. I have lots of DVDs! But I just want you to know that I like this." -GM

And thats that.

And because of this lunch today, with the Panda and Georgey, I remembered something very important. Its the little things in life that make me most happy. Today was absolutely hysterical the whole way through and I feel so good because of it.

Now to My point-if I were to be asked what the best moment of my life was, my answer would be simple. Maybe it would be in a haiku or in a long drawn out story about me and 2 frenchmen, or me and a nun walking into a bar, but still, Id get to the point and it would go something like this. It would be "any moment I was laughing."
