Kids With Speech Impediments Fan Club Card Carrying Member.

I have no idea how this popped into my head but now I can't get it out.

When I was about 12, I was having a conversation with a a kid from the neighborhood and he was saying, "You've got to see a Playboy magazine. It's loaded with pictures of naked girls."

Well the little brother hears him say that and runs over to us and in the best speech impediment ever asks, "BIG GULLS OR LITTLE GULLS??"

Big Guuuuulls or little guuuuulls. Say it aloud to really grasp the beauty of it.

See. I told you.

I don't know why but I love hearing kids talk with speech impediments. I actually had one myself. I couldn't say "R's". I forget if I did a post about it or not. I'll have to look.

And on a related note our next door neighbor talks like that too. When they got back from Florida I asked her where she went. She said, "We went down to Sea Wode."

I swear I was saying "Sea Wode" for weeks.

(Note that the picture has nothing to do with the post. I saw it while searching for "Speech Impediments" and...well...I fell in love with it and I had to bring it home. Isn't it a beauty?)

PA Blogger and Candidate Responds To Palin Speech

As people in the know know, I've thrown my sombrero hat into the 2008 presidential ring, the following are my random comments -as a contender -while watching Sarah Palin at RNC:

- Cool dame. Looks good. Nice skin.

- Not a huge fan of the bang swoop tonight.

- When I put on my plastic surgeons hat, I'd say that she needs a very slight nostril reduction.

- The width of her son's tie is circa 1974. And it's loose.

- Future son-in-law thinking, "What the hell am I doing here?"

- She still reminds me of Edith Prickly/Edna Boyle (SCTV - Andrea Martin).

- Uses word "haberdasher"? Puuu-leese.

- Youngest daughter petting head of baby. Licks her hand and then pets. What the?

- She's a straight talker.

- John McCain's mom has freakishly ENORMOUS ear holes. "Maam it looks as if a wasp flew into your ear, let me just reach in with my doctorly, manly hand and get it out...here we go...OK. It's out. ..I got it. ..What?...You didn't feel that?"

- Who thought to have the huge liberty bell souvenir that I got on my 6th grade class trip on the screen behind her?

Job well done.
