Hello nurse!

A conversation yesterday about using vintage pick-up lines like "Hubba hubba" and "Hello Nurse," made Leti's post titled "HELLOOOOOOOO NURSE!!!!" catch my eye. (The post is about the film "White Squall." Haha. Leti, you should see The Town if you're looking for serious eye candy.)

Soo, intrigued by this little Celestine Prophecy-worthy coincidence, I checked it out and learned that the vaudeville-era phrase is the origin of today's wolf whistle. Real creative guys!

Ion Like a Lion in Zion

Listening to Desmond Dekker this morning, I was telling Josh how I thought the lyrics were "tamaloo tamashoo tamaway" when he actually says, "them a loot, them a shoot, them a wail." Josh shared his own reggae confusion with "Iron Lion Zion." I like it when the misunderstanding is better than the original.
