This is the story of how Harley taught me to talk like a sailor....
To keep myself entertained on my long scooter ride home from work I usually conduct a rambling commentary of things I see- everything from examples of horrible driving to unusual signs and business names. I'm sure it's just hilarious as I say any old thing that pops into my head.
Recently whenever I see an attractive woman I'll say, "hey bebbeh," not loud enough for anyone else to hear (hopefully). I was trying to figure out where I got the phrase. I'm nothing if not a pop culture sponge and most of my repertoire of one liners came from the TV show M*A*S*H. This particular line however seemed newly learned. That's when it occurred to me that I picked the phrase up from reading about Harley's exploits on his sister Daisy's blog. I'm not proud of my use of Harley's pickup line and if I should happen to get slapped someday for using it, I'm going to give Harley a call.
OMC, I am laughing and laughing! Harley feels like a real Mancat now. Have a good day... bebbeh.
ReplyDeleteOur mom talks in catspeak a lot too. After 7 years it's pretty much ingrained. Mom to Dad: "Lets go out tonight and have some noms."
ReplyDeleteMOL, You have to wonder if that's going to work, like Joey's line "How You doin'" Then again, if you get a response, I for sure recommend as your next line "Lets go out and have some noms" ala Shaggy and Scout! That would be awesome!
