Lounge, You Weak, Rice-Flour Noodle; Don’t Potato Romp or You’ll Vomit – It’s Friday Funnies!
August is named for Augustus Caesar, the first Emperor of Rome and the grandnephew of Julius Caesar – the Roman statesman. August is one of only two months named after leaders of the ancient Roman world. July (named for Julius Caesar) is the other. Like the Eternal City of Rome, the month of August is filled with historically significant observances. There’s little doubt that you’ve embraced one of these timeless celebrations:
National Sea Serpent Day
National Tarantula Appreciation Day
National Lazy Day
National Tattoo Removal Day
August days fly by like words on a computer screen. Everything seems past deadline. So much so that you end up using a do-it-yourself, free translation site. You speed through one project and move on to the next unaware that the free site you used to translate a crucial contract from English into Simplified Chinese turned “Software License fee is $17US per seat” into “Speckled Lion free at $17US pear chair“. That’s almost as bad as missing French fries on National Potato Day!
No romping? That's severe punishment for missing National Potato Day.
First there's no romping on potatoes, and now it's forced vomiting?
Make up your mind! Lounge? Vomit? Potato romping? Now, we're rice-flour noodles who've been banished to the out of doors?
Sadly, this could be the traffic sign in my neighborhood.
