Bebsi Shocked What have I said or done now???? I may be barking mad, but where does Libdon tea come into it?

Maybe I should just let the prim QoS and the bitter, boorish, culturally illiterate Prodiigy go at each other's throats!!!! So different and yet so alike! Kindred spirits, united in the art of rabid rant!! Laughing


Good one, I would win that one in the first round! I am Mike Tyson in an abaya with the power of the rabid pen!

Anyway, you meant parking mad, right?

God, what a turn-on that thought is...Mike T in an abaya!! Shocked Is this image meant to impress us or something?

No, QoS, I meant Barking mad. Haven't you ever heard that expression? Parking mad is what you become trying to find a space for your car in Bucharest...or many other cities for that matter. Twisted Evil

And how exactly is this an attempt to "impress?" Do I really need to explain this one?! I thought I was making a silly visual out your ideas that I should take on Prodigy - Mike Tyson-boxer- weird to think of him in an abaya, right?

Parking - Saudi version "barking." I was making a connection between the "b" and "p" mix up that Saudis often make. I thought you would be well versed with that one given your choice of screen names and it was a nice inside joke- thats all...not to be taken so seriously... as someone in a forum once told me..."Mafee mushkilah teacher!"

So, THAT's what it is, a nice bersonal in-joke between you and I. I am very embarrassed. Laughing

And pee-fore you go any further, no, it's not a typo or even a toppo...I once had a student who told me he was very embarrassed with a particularly difficult lesson. I was taking it beer zonally and couldn't figure out what I had said that was causing such a state of shame and humiliation, when it finally dawned, he was IMPRESSED!!!! I said "you mean IMPRESSED?"

"Of course, Deejer, I ham extra-melly embarrassed. Verrry diva cult, you eggs plain most well".

Another student started telling me one day about his car accident, "when the Bullies come in pig car, take me away for questions in pig pill ding".

Qoute from one of Mouse5's fragmented messages;

"Thought you had to be a native speaker to work in KSA?"

A: No.

An essay could serve to elaborate your point...if any?

I know that you know that I had a point to clarify with Mouse5.

Seems a bit of a pointless post to point out that I wanted to clarify her point!

Well, kids, we can go around all day like this. So unless you have something to add to this topic, whats your point in making that point? Or are you trying to make some other point?

You did?

Since when did self-awarded "scores" count for so much?

I will quote your signature to sum up what I feel at the moment:

What do you mean initial misconceptions???? You mean, I have disappointed you, QoS, or I have gone up in your estimation...which? I am now curious, and not a little upset and hurt!!
Crying or Very sad

I will quote you quoting me to sum up my interest in pursuing this round of pointless interrogations.
