I ran into this lady this morning.  I don't think she spoke English too well.  I yelled twice, "On your left!"  So the second time right as I was trying to go around her left she stepped right in front of me.  Luckily I had time to put my arm out, brace her shoulders, and kind of guide from not moving any further in my way as I went around her on her right.  She was like, "E-soddy."  Pretty funny.

If you would run a little slower, that would not be as complicated!

From Camille on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 17:34:52

That's hilarious! I'm glad you didn't push her over! Good for you, showing restraint!

you should get a little horn

From montelepsy on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 03:15:47

Or learn another language. I can't figure out what e-soddy could even mean, all I know is that I'm going to start saying it.

From Burt on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 10:36:59

Kelli - I know, huh?

Mike - I'm pretty sure she was trying to apologize. I do speak Spanish and that gives me an edge on understanding someonoe who's speaking broken English.

From marion on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 11:23:00

Funny! :D

From Lucia on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 15:03:49

Foreigners, we should kick them all out of the country, ha? Ehhh... I mean... Soddy!!!

From Montelepsy on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 15:21:45

You can combine your spanish and running skills and just start yelling, "¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!" from now on. And invest in a sombrero.

From Burt on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 16:01:01

Well, we certainly wouldn't want a foreigner to be the POTUS. What? Who said he was? Not me. Oh yeah. His grandmother did, and that is why he had her knocked off. I hope big brother's not reading this.

Mike - I like the tilde over the A. Nice touch.

From Lucia on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 16:04:46

I'm hoping The Governator will change that for good... open up the door for all of us evil aliens to take control of this country... buahahahaha!!! (evil laugh) :) all in good fun!

Mike that was hilarious!

From Burt on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 16:08:09

Have you ever seen the movie Evil Alien Conquerors? It was pretty lame, and yet I loved it.

From Matt on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 16:32:04

BBK's Bingham Babes Running Club. THat is one fast pack of women. I have been chicked by at least one of them that I know of and they are mostly 35 to 45 in age. In the Riverton South Jordan area. They are very faithful and a few guys run with them occasionally.

From Kelli on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 18:28:52

Hey, can I count myself as one of them???? They are fast, and getting faster all of the time! "They" even have some people in their 50's!!! In St George, I came in 2nd (or 3rd) to last out of all of the BBK's. They are certainly very speedy, and they work VERY hard!! I aspire to be like them.

From Kell on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 18:30:33

Oh, and my husband, Dean, Walter (when he is well), Eric, Allen, and a few other men run quite often with the speedy women.

A family I knew in high school had a dog named Skippy. Their mom barely spoke English, and she called him e'Skippy. I asked them why they didn't name him something she could pronounce. They said she was the one who named him :)

From Lucia on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 23:01:06

Very funny Rachel - if she was Hispanic, she probably pronounced it "Eskeepee" :) My co-workers make fun of me cause I can't say "mint" and say "meent" instead... i don't see the difference ;)

From kungfublonde on Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 01:41:43

You typed it out perfectly, Lucia- did you know that family? :)

It's ok, I bet you make fun of them when they try to pronounce Spanish words, too, right?

hey, Tell Burt how to say, "Look out, I'm behind you and I'm about to pass you on your left!" All I can think of is, "cuidado!!"

From Burt on Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 12:15:59

Probably the two most grammatically correct writers of the English language on this blog are Sasha and Lucia.

From Lucia on Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 12:31:59

"Cuidado" is good, Rachel! I would say "Permiso", which is more like "Please let me pass you".

I think the most difficult part of English once you get to a certain level is the prepositions. I still get my "on", "in" and "at"s confused... I think I already told you guys about my unintentional misunderstanding with an intern a few years ago, when I said "Come sit on my desk and I'll show you a few things" - saying "on" instead of "at", that little word, could've gotten me in a lot of trouble!

And then of course the endless slang... "I'm down with it" means the same as "I'm up for it" Whassup with that???
