Overheard....

For those who know what mX is, you might be like me and flip to the back pages of the newspaper to the 'Overheard' section. It's quite good for a laugh!

Examples from mX, 13 September 2010.

Boy 1: "What is dyslexia?"
Boy 2: "Dyslexia is a severe form of dementia"

or

Girl 1: "Oh no, I've spilt tomato sauce on my shirt."
Girl 2: "You better wash it with wet water"
Girl 1: "Wet water? Yeah, I've tried dry water and it never works"

Others include:

Girl 1: "He's so weird"
Girl 2: "Maybe he has ACDC or something"

Boy: "It was so cold, and I was wearing only a T-shirt and a thong"
Girl: "A thong?"
Boy: "Oh wait, no, thongs! I swear I said thongs"

Maths, Maths, Maths

I was in a senior maths class when this utterly shameful and stupid moment happened:

A mate of mine walked up towards the table, ready to hand in his work and yelled out to me “Hey Jeff, what’s 2x8 again?”
I really should of paid attention but didn’t (distracted by the my work and by others in the room) and yelled out with the fullest of confidence “Oh yeah, its 12”

Half the class turned, looked at me and just shook their heads (probably in shame) while my friend just said “Ok”, wrote down the answer and handed his work in.

Hmm and I’m studying to be a teacher.....

'Single Ladies Gone Wrong'

I have always wondered why there was so much hype for Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” song and especially the video clip. The video clip, judged as Video of the Year 2009 (...cue in Kanye West to disrupt this blog if I were to suggest otherwise...) has been seen by thousands, not if millions of viewers around the world.

Probably should not confess to this but I have actually seen the original video clip. I won’t judge that people dancing in front of a camera is refreshingly original but what has resulted is really fascinating and ‘Just Plain Stupid’. Take this video for example by those on YouTube mocking Beyonce and Co’s dance moves:

Even Justin Timberlake had the guts to perform a parody on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and there is a much worse parody from an overweight man dancing to this song in a leotard, surprisingly with 13.1 million viewers. Watch if you dare!

While somehow linked to this video clip is another, which just made me 'LMAO'. (Poor girl, I hope she recovered!)
