I was feeling pukey all day.  I've been eating too much ice cream.  When I started running this evening, I felt horrible (which is Spanish for horrible.)  I just ran around the block and called it good.

Espero que pronto te compongas!

Deja de comer tanto helado amigo.

Break out the rosetta stone!

El problema es que me case con el helado. Estaba tan enamorado y no quise viver en el pecado, asi que nos casamos en Las Vegas. Puedes casarte con lo que te de la gana en Las Vegas.

Te felicito por tu decision de no vivir en pecado.

Your Spanish is pretty dang good Burt. I spent a couple years in Mexico and get plenty of time with my gf's family where we speak Spanish almost exclusively.

From Burt on Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 17:14:47 from 72.223.91.148

Well, I served my mission for the LDS church in Spain. So, my Spanish is very refined. LOL! I would not have guessed that Jing is of Latino heritage.

From ACorn on Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 17:17:33 from 24.2.76.146

Jing is from Venezuela. Venezuelan mom and Chinese dad. I call her Venezuelasian.

From Burt on Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 17:21:38 from 72.223.91.148

LOL. So many Miss Universes come from Venezuela. Which is a mystery, because the men are so ugly. How do they breed such good looking women?

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 20:35:08 from 65.191.243.172

never mind the pretty women and ugly men. my biggest problem is with the phrase, "I've been eating too much ice cream."

Team QP in Training has been at Red Robin numerous times in the last week as we're all preparing to take you down and drown you in your own tears as you lose the Root Beer Float competition. It sounds to me like you're not ready to eat at the big kids table yet if a little ice cream makes you feel sick.

Man up Burt... eat more ice cream, drink more root beer, and for heaven's sake, stay away from public toilets.

I like QP's advice...and I really need to get better with my spanish!

From Burt on Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 18:40:19 from 72.223.91.148

QP - we all go through rough patches in our training. I'll be back and stronger than ever. I'll take you all on. Three against one.

April - I wanted to tell you that I am really fluent in Spanish, but I didn't think you would believe me.

From Bonnie on Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 18:45:08 from 70.41.210.59

ha ha ha QP, you crack me up. I LOVE root beer floats ... alas, at my age I can't even think about ice cream or I gain 10 lbs. "When I was your age, I could guzzle down RB floats in waist high snow, walking 10 miles uphill all the way home"

From Burt on Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 19:29:20 from 72.223.91.148

It's true QP. When I met Bonnie in real life, she would not share a root beer float with this hopeless romantic.

From april27 on Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 20:23:15 from 99.188.251.180

Burt-no you just didnt want me to say, " teach me!" I have taken many years of Spanish, CDs etc, but just can't seem to be comfy speaking it
