So, a couple days ago I received an E-mail from an address I've never seen before, with no subject. Upon opening it, pretty much expecting spam (you can never be sure), I was perplexed by this:
When Is Bambi On DVD & Video Can You E-Mail Me Back At xxxxxxx@hotmail.com
Of course, the lack of punctuation (except for the '&' and in the E-mail address), along with the fact that I had no idea who this was, AND the fact that he was asking me a question that is easily answered by searching for "Bambi" on amazon.com, led me to ignore the e-mail and get on with my life.
A few hours later, I get another E-mail from this special friend:
I Told You When Is Bambi Coming ON DVD & Video Please Send Me Back
Oh, so now he's DEMANDING to know when it comes out. From someone he doesn't even know! Or at least, I think that's what he's doing. From the way he wrote it, it's hard to tell. He should also talk to a third grade English teacher so she can tell him how not to Capitalize Every Word In A Sentence.
Anyway, I ignored this example of Shakespearian-level English and went on with my life.
Of course, the clincher arrived today:
What Does Lion's Live. Can You E-Mail Me Back Please
I can't make any sense of this, can you? After applying various munging techniques, I came up with this grammar-deficient person's likely question: "Where do lions live?"
So I replied on a single line:
In Kenya. (Not Norway!)
Hey, my answer is technically correct, right? }:) I'm really looking forward to his response. Whether I'll be able to decipher it, that's another story. I'm no WWII allied codebreaker, ya know!
More like Snoreway
That's the most awesome response you could have given. Hopefully (s)he'll ask about tigers next.
But then I'd be lying...
...just like the flash anim! There's no tigers in Kenya. Well, at least not outside a zoo, or any that have been introduced. }:)
(For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, click here and be enlightened...)
...where the giraffes are.... and the zebra! o/~
No i'm curious....
So when is Bambi coming out on DVD ?
Free snorkel with every visit
I would like to officially point out I predicted the "tiger" question 3 weeks and 2 days in advance.
