So Nic has been teaching some private English classes with adults and one of the first numbers she pulls out is the "Let's Work On Describing Stuff" gem.
She has put photos from our burgeoning collection onto a worksheet and asks people to make up a background story for the people included therein. Without fail (or indeed prompting) the first thing that happens is that the students excitedly state "exactly" which famous person the pictured person looks like...
...here are some of the latest doodads to have been blurted out...i'll let you be the judge...
....dazza as....
...TOM "PLAYIN' WITH THEM BOYS" CRUISE....
...tonight ladies and gentlemen...richard will be appearing as....
.....BRUUUUUUCE WILLIS (!?)....
...your host...
...THE IRREPRESSIBLE HARRY POTTER....
...morgan "call me raaaaage", henceforth known only as...
...DIRTY OLD STEVE MCQUEEN...
...this one was a doozy...
...nics japanese chum saw this photo and excitedly pointed at josh. not wanting to put the photo down she carried it through to her bag in the kitchen and rifled around for her dictionary. it wasn't a movie star she was looking for; it was a FEELING. after a few mis-starts, she settled with the statement that josh exudes...
..."AN AURA OF GORGEOUSNESS"...
...and i'm inclined to agree...
...incidentally this was the same woman who went to a doctor about a stomachache. the doctor looked her over and said "your stomach hurts because you have the dissatisfied soul of a samurai warrior living in there"...
...she believed the doctor...
...the dissatisfied soul has since moved on much to the relief of everyone concerned...
