That’s quite an accent you have there…

Blog Guy, I need some of your job-hunting advice. I was working on a résumé, but then I stopped.
Oh, you MUST resume your résumé. Why did you stop?
I needed lunch. I’m eating a clear beef broth and some healthy Japanese soybeans my mom sent.
Well, you need to resume your résumé after you consume your consommé and eat your mommy’s edamame…
I can’t get motivated. Maybe I’ll put on some music. We love jazz in my New Orleans neighborhood.
You live in Tremé?
Indeed. Who should I listen to while I resume my résumé?
Maybe Mel Tormé? To me, Tormé is perfect. Are you a musician?
No, I make hand-knotted fabrics.
Ah, so you do macramé.
You know, Mel Tormé just isn’t working. I’m more in the mood for a Strauss opera. Any suggestions?
Salomé?
Good idea. I’m still hungry, too. You know what sounds good with my Salomé? Perhaps a little…
Lunch meat?

Said Blog Guy ‘Here’s the state of play’
A model wearing risque macrame
Another eats greens
Well, a single small bean
When she really needs a big slice of salome
I am not a witty person… so, I dont understand fancy words…
I only know
That model is eating..
That guy is a part of the ever-illusive White Hat Conspiracy
And I quite like the look of that hand knotted top…
If I wear that headdress to Africa, do you think they will accept me? Or just laugh at me thinking ” what does she think she is wearing?? “
I like the top hand knotted,
and am wondering where she got it.
Just don’t pull a string
as it will loose everthing;
and I’ll have to duck for cover before spotted!
@Shra – yes.
So now we know how the models all stay so skinny. All they are allowed to eat is edamame, one bean at a time.
Someone hand that woman a donut.
@Dave: LOL! Love the reply to Shra, and it reminds me to ask one question at a time.
@Shra: we speak the same language, and the feathered hat would look good on you!
The question being: where are the doughnuts!
Salami flavored doughnuts? Baloney!
I respectfully sit this blog out. The only rhyming scheme I can think of involves Marisa Tomei but I don’t think she relates to anything here. But hey, while I am out can I get anyone some doughnuts?
Thanks Dave and One…
However, I dont have this model’s colouring… So, maybe it would be safe to give it a miss…
Though, I dooooo like the top…
The lady with top
has a nice blond blop
and a very nice shade too
I would like to steal that top
and check if it matches with my nice black blop…
oh, please pass the headdress too…!
Are we sure that’s macrame? It looks more like crochet to me.
No, crochet doesn’t have the cachet…
“That’s quite an accent you have there”: I have this accent, too. After I use Pig Latin, watch the Three Stooges, or watch Speedy Gonzales. Amscray! Andale!
I finally get home after a long day
I’m feeling a little blasé
to the OE Blog Network I go
hoping for for what, I don’t know
You guys make me laugh…what can I say?
