Tricky Linguistics

by Erik Kain on November 10, 2009

I was an English major, so this really speaks to me. And it’s hilarious, as is everything Fry and Laurie did together. I don’t watch House, but I loved the old Jeeves and Wooster show, and their sketch comedy (which this video is taken from) is pretty brilliant. Anyways, enjoy!

Share and Enjoy:

2 Nob Akimoto November 10, 2009 at 6:44 pm: God I love Fry and Laurie…
3 Jonathan November 11, 2009 at 2:32 pm: That is a great clip from a great show. I’ve got Alfresco sitting at home, but haven’t watch it yet. I’ll have to do that soon (and eventually pick up Jeeves and Wooster).

Libertarianism in a Nutshell
I fancy meself a South Park Republican, no prig he, more likely to laugh at the ineptness of somebody trying to offend him than to be offended. A Piss Christ or a Virgin Mary made of elephant shit is so last century it’s hardly worth the bother of feigning outrage. But I do confess that our friends and allies in Japan have come up with something I’m compelled/appalled enough to hide behind a link. The only consolation is that there’s really nothing to be done for an encore. ( 0 comments)
