Big, <BR/><BR/>I must say your translation of 'worcestershire sauce' to 'salsa' in Spanish is simply genius. I can't wait to order my taco bell grande with a side of 'worcestershire sauce.' And then when the friendly taco bell attendant looks at me funny, I shall clarify--- with the following: oh yes, in espanol,that would be a side of salsa. I look forward to your future comments. Your analysis of the Kristus' blogs really helps me understand Kristus' messages to the world on an entirely new level.<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/><BR/>Kristus' blog readerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14614365.post-1139756579254901982006-02-12T09:02:00.000-06:002006-02-12T09:02:00.000-06:00Who are your anonymous commenters?

Because my anger is eternal and carves deep grudge-based memories for inefficienct terminology such as what you describe. Besides, the method I describe above is most correctly aligned with the excellence of Spanish. Good old Spanish. You won't catch THAT language doing idiotic things with super-combo-chain compound number additions as one term, or having ridiculous syllable ommisions, as seen in 'worcestershire sauce'. I think that's pronounced 'salsa' in Spanish, bringing you a syllable-cost reduction of eleventyhundred percent by my calcu-ma-lations...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14614365.post-1139611113233085892006-02-10T16:38:00.000-06:002006-02-10T16:38:00.000-06:00I think Kristi has struck upon a message for us to...I think Kristi has struck upon a message for us to consider very carefully. First, there is the clear implication that girls generally think it's adorable when folks from foreign cultures do simple things in ways that seem unnecessarily complicated, excessive, or wasteful of effort. The moral here for me is that the next time I talk to a female in person, I should pull out a walkie-talkie and give the other one to the female in question, then speak to her through the walkie-talkie while faking an accent. Or maybe I will just count out loud from one to a hundred (in a fake accent) and then say whatever it is I'm going to say afterwards. Based on what Kristi's blog said, I believe this would be endearing. But the great thing about Kristi's blog is that you can interpret it in other ways as well. What do you think Kristi meant today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
