-Ezra 2:29: "of Nebo 52", the actual shortest verse in the Bible, beats John 11:35 by one letter-

Had a dream that I was taking pictures with, I guess one of those old cameras, because the flashbulb gave off quite a boom. Later, though, I did find out that the boom was actually real. Not a flashbulb, however.

Another regional oddity of the Great Domesticated Desert of DoomTM. Many people probably know that the GDDoD is the birthplace of that method of speech known as "valley girl", wherein the language is liberally peppered with "like", "totally", "seriously", and "whatever". It is a lesser known fact that, actually, we all, like, totally talk that way; yes, even adult men do this! Furthermore, we do this even when we grow up well outside any of GDDoD's many valleys. Seriously.

It is only by heroic effort on my part that I can avoid continuing this accent into my blog. I guess we need some sort of linguistic flaw in return for otherwise speaking perfectly unaccented English (a distinction no doubt aided by our possession of Hollywood, and hence, many movie actors).

Reality check! And could we, like, seriously rename "valley girl" to, like, "valley person" or whatever? I mean, dude... ;-)

  1. Whenever I hear that accent on TV or in a film, I always thaught it was some sort of over-exaggerated stereotype. Now I'm not so sure. :-)

Try to keep it family-friendly.
Otherwise, poetry, random exclamations, and opinionated diatribe all welcome.
