MB,
As I wrote Robin, my ear is still so bad---SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!---I
trusted
his fleshing out of what TRP said about his own ear in SL intro.....
So, whether the dialogue is ...not good......doesn't this ditty fall under the
TRP
ditty dispensation?.....I.E. another 'fun' doggerel? which is immune from
judgment
even if it is bad? } Just sorta asking....

ok, I'm a well-known idiot (like a well-known TCP port) but I like the
dialogue in V.
> "I want to be in Ameerica,
> Ok by me in Ameerica,
> Everyting free in Ameerica,
> For a small fee in A-Meer-EEK-Ah!'
this is just funny! life imitating art...self-consciously...
I can picture Fina 'n' them putting on bad accents to sing
parodically. like Ugly Betty and her sister and little brother might
do if they were putting on some ethnic airs...
V. dialogue has lotsa little things like that, cherry picked for the
bricolage....
Not that he didn't get a lot better!
Never caught that bit before about "come Josephine in my flying
machine (or anywhere else)!" Thanks!
