FINANCIAL IMBALANCE

Jump to Comments Wow, I just spent this entire afternoon and evening editing together what is quite possibly the best Foreign Language Video Project. Ever. This thing is so totally awesome– it’s like one of those avant garde rage against the machine euro indie films, or whatever, except it’s an ADVERTISEMENT. YES. I’m gonna see if I can run it through divx and get it down to a manageable size (~100MB or so, sorry dialup FOOLS XD) and maybe I’ll post it up later. SO GOOD.

Apparently, the school Newsmagazine had an article with a quote that may or may not have actually been said by a teacher, so the poor folks down in Journalism had to put a full page sticker on every single issue. The only problem was that there was another article on the page, which just happened to be written by one of the members of my L337 CALC COLLABORATION CREW. Talk about suck. Not to mention that the sticker had a lot of black on it (mainly so it couldn’t be see-through) and was more than likely printed off on one of the school Risographs, so the ink came off all over my hands, which is a bad thing while, like, eating lunch. Yeah.

Speaking of lunch, ye olde LTC was interesting as usual, mainly represials of crazy crap from Samstag. Also, this is directed to the Nazz: after careful reconsideration of the events of Saturday evening, I have this statement about the whole “It’s getting cold out here” debauckle. The first I heard of the thing was when either ORRR or Popeshirt said “Hey, Nazz, it’s getting cold out here” and put the last bit to the Nellie tune. Because I was too hooped up on Vanilla Coke to realize that that was an allusion to the fact that you had, in fact, already come up with a spoof of that dreaded tune, I sung one myself, which was “It’s getting cold out here, so put on all your clothes / Oh yeah, it’s getting so cold, I wanna put my coat on,” and seemed to notice someone else singing something with slightly different lyrics (you, more than likely). I did not, however, at any time, applaud you at your parodius efforts as you stated today at lunch. No hard feelings or anything.

Oh yeah, lunchtable. So, like, the Nazz and El “Bobo” played dorkcards– and Nazz apparently won, so good for him, NOW DORKWORLD IS HIS, or something as equally engrishy. Yeah, and the Russian lamented the US school system’s ineptitude at placing him in the proper math class. You know, that’s really gotta suck, seeing as he should be in, like, ‘Super Mega Differential Linear Calculus Director’s Cut Tournament Edition 64!’ or something. Oh well, nothing’ll matter IN TEH COLLAEG.

Oh, also, since when was the NASDAQ at, like, 1994 levels? Sheesh, no wonder we’re losing so much ‘cash’ in our stock bits in Econ.

  • It’s ‘debacle’

  • Also, “remember info” doesn’t work.
    And furthermore, it’s spelled “Babo”.

  • And the formatting on these comments is weird. I think I have to manually insert line breaks.

    Today you missed a couple of great nazzy-isms, “awry” being pronounced “ah-ree” and “expletives” being pronounced “expleetives”. The former was after school, the latter during econ. Those rapings of english pronuncitude are worthy of Frau herself….

  • OK so maye even if I try to insert a line break with [br] it doesn’t work…

  • Oh, I know that Nazzy uses some contorted reference to some character by the name of Babo from Melville or what ever, but that’s a whole other keetle of feesh. My nickname for him is “Bob(-)o” or perhaps “Bobbo”, mainly as Nazz doesn’t make any distinction between the two vowels, and I didn’t know the spelling until after I started writing it, and I’m sticking to my way, dagnabit. Did the peeny drop? If it did, good on you!

    I just turned on the (X)HTML in the comments, though. I’d appreciate it if you use the XHTML ones instead of the uh, “rank-id”, old HTML ones (it’s the future! To XHTML transitional, every one of us!), but, you know, I guess you don’t really have to. Or something.

  • Hey, we English know our language. And New Zealanders, too. As the Russian wouldn’t say, “You crazy Amerikanski!”

    I beat Babo at Magic, indeed. That was quite nice. Unfortunately, he was playing with an experimental deck of his, and I was playing with another experimental deck of his. As the winning deck was not mine, it’s more or less like saying that Babo beat himself.

    And let me explain for all the Blog-Whores? out there: I know the word “awry” (pron. “uh-RYE”) when said through speech. However, I had not seen it written in all my memory, and upon seeing the word used several times by Thomas Hardy in his masterpiece, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, I became enchanted by it. Reading it as a-w-r-y, I thought it was “AH-ree”, kind of like how Omri is “AHM-ree” or brawny is “BRAH-nee”. The fact that I didn’t know the two words meshed together might be humorous to some (like M. Probbka), but I am sure that our generous host here at http://benjamins.no-ip.com/ understands what it’s like to hear the word and not connect it with its spelling. Eh, “Bobo”?

    Final note from the Nazz: Bobo is quite coincidentally the focus of our current (well, October 22) discussion in Psychology. A Bobo doll is one of those ugly clown dolls made of plastic that has a heavyweight at the bottom, so that if you punch it, it can never truly fall over. Rather, it wobbles in place and comes back to hit innocent children in the face. Imagine teh Nazz punching el “Bobo”. *sees himself getting mauled ferociously by Band people* Not what I had in mind.

    Ever vigilant, and moving on to the next Blog entry, teh Nazz
