Interesting

I used to have one that talked that way along with groaaaan, mooooan, eeeek and ahhhhhchoo. I think it is in the grave now. Poor old feller. Sounds like at the last it speaks Japanese, Mazda dialect, also. Respectfully, Rett: "Two things stand in the way of a liberal doing what he thinks is best for people. One, he doesn't have enough power and two, we have too much freedom. If he figures out how to overcome either then we are in real trouble." Rett

My car speakes in pesos interpratatos. Last week it spoke English though, I heard it loud and clear when it screamed POP! Then it had to squat and I could smell it's whisper "three hundred bucks aaaaaah" Mark Old bandits are really young rascals.

I knew it had to be you just from the title alone (it just came up on the scroller) And of course, with a title like that, I had to read. I feel bad about your car, and guilty because I chuckled throughout this write. Hope things work out for you. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- "If you've ever emptied the back of your pickup truck by driving backward really fast and slamming on the brakes, you might be a redneck" - Jeff Foxworthy Bill Engvall: "that's how we moved"

Thanx, guys

I spotted this piece in the middle of an old letter I'd sent my daughter, Barbara, years ago, and thought it'd make for a fun post. I'm glad you had fun reading it ... and that it brought smiles/memories. I know it was for me a fun write/post. Yours, Chuck

Are you saying the word ...

pidgin holds racist implication? I used it as defined in Websters: a simplified speech used for communication between people with different languages No disrespect---either racist or otherwise---intended. Chuck

in historical context,

rather than dictionary definition, it does tend to be dialects invented by lazy, arrogant white people to convey just enough to get orders obeyed. I am certain you intended no disrespect. cheers, Jess
