You know, after I just went for supper with Sarah, and we discussed the play (since it's getting nearer and nearer) I realized that my stop word of late is 'yo.' For example, I now tend to end every sentence I say with things like, "That's totally whack, yo!" or "My peeps will call your peeps and we'll hang out at someone's crib, yo!" "I think that's a GREAT idea, yo!"
While technically this is my fault, I feel the perfectly rational thing to do in this situation is to blame Sarah. I have decided that I need to put this in proper forms and categories of medieval logic:
Opinion of Others:
Premise 1: It seems that Brennan cannot speak anything than improper English. He used to use words like "like" and "um" and "uh" as his stop words. Now, he has moved onto words like "yo" and "whack, yo" to explain his inability to grasp the idea of speaking coherently. Thus, the fault seems to be that Brennan simply cannot cognize properly, and not that Sarah is the source of his problems.
Premise 2: Other people have nothing to do with Brennan's problems. He's totally whack, yo.
Further: It seems that Brennan's inability to speak in proper nouns, verbs and adjectives is conflated by his iniability to study anything but continental philosophy, Dutch, German and French. Such a combination cannot produce anything but madness. Hence, Brennan is mad. Clearly, this argument is irrefutable given premises one and two.
Refutation: We reply that such things are not true, and we deny them vehemently...because...um....look, over there, a distraction!!!!! (Made an impressive chart while you weren't looking) And as you can clearly see from this chart right here, this proves the validity of Brennan throwing blame on Sarah. Plus, look at this duck! It's AMAZING! Very realistic.
Further: Brennan kept giving Sarah advice on how to talk like a skater girl, which is her character in the play, and eventually he started turning it into the way he talks normally. Quite problematic, yo.
Sigh.
And, that, my friends, is what happens when you study medieval philosophy late at night.
Yo.

It is understandable when you add in things from other languages other than the one you are speaking, kudos on attempting more than 2 at a time! I don't know if anything I'm typing right now makes any sense as I just spent an hour translating a passage from Camara Laye's "L'enfant noir" (aka "The Dark Child") into English for my French 314 intro to translation class! Que c'est du fun (to throw some good q'becker into the conversation).
p.s that last comment was from me (Dez)
