where do they go to school to learn...

[unclej]

to talk that way...closed the store and on the way home tuned in to the prairie home companion show on public radio and got to thinking...

all of the news casters on public radio have a very distinctive way of speaking...kinda like they're pretty sure you're not smart enough to understand what they're saying so they're going to enunciate every fuckin' letter in every word to make sure you have at least a half a chance and they don't even have an accent unless there's some island off cape cod where they're locked up 'til they learn to talk that way and if anyone in your family talked that way you'd just slap a skillet full of crap out of them 'cause you'd know they were trying to be a whole lot cooler than they really are and you just know you couldn't pull a needle outta one of those newscaster asses with a friggin' back hoe 'cause they're so tight and they're pobably all lousy lays and wouldn't be any fun at a party unless it was so you could make fun of them...anyway i was just wonderin' about that...

OMG...Where did you go to school to learn how to write a run-on sentence like that?

I can't even read that, so I can't answer you.

 

[unclej]

i don't understand the question...everyone i know talks that way...

 

[lilfrk]

That could be your problem then...

Y'all talk with out breathing or pausing? Amazing.

Uppity, nasal, arrogant, ugly wasters go on the radio 'cos no one else will hire their snivelling little asses, IMHO

What did people from Connecticut ever do to you?

Anyone, I mean anyone who works on commerical radio should be shot. The worst thing about commercial radio, other than the low-quality crap they pump out, and the adverts, and the fact they're all the same, is the DJs.

*shudders*

ok lilfrk, i'm calm now...sometimes i get a little spazo/rant and rave thing goin' but i'm better now..what i meant to say is that i have noticed that nearly all public radio announcers sound exactly the same...stuck up, hollier than me and condenscending...unless they're all brothers and sisters i'm wondering where they learn to talk that way...better?

 

[lilfrk]

unclej...I was joking about the run-on sentence. Honest. It's funny.

I don't know where they learn to talk. I guess it's some weird speech class they are taught in broadcast school. Probably called Enunciation 101.

 

[unclej]

believe me, i knew that and i write that way for effect sometimes...thanks for the fun..

 

[lilfrk]

It worked. I laughed and so did my Man. I actually thought he was going to lose a contact when he saw that sentence.
