As you know from our past few Podcasts, I’ve been having a problem with people at work not recognizing and following bathroom etiquette. Thanks to our listener Paul for sending some feedback and bringing this hilarious video to our attention.

Tonight after recording episode 180, we got to say G’day and help listener Andrew F join in not only his first iChat Video Conference, but his first iChat 3-Way!

It was wonderful chatting it up with Andrew all the way over in Australia. Sadly there was a bit of a delay in our vocal, but it provided us with lots of comic relief!

Cheers!

See, I’m not insane — people yell out ‘Helau’ in Germany for Carnivale.

Now what have I given up for Lent, you may ask? I have given up talking about my personal sexual exploits.

Ok, so I’m never going to be hirsute and I kinda feel bad that I pressured Peter to post pictures of his bald face on the page. I was in a conference room, bored out of my mind and thought “I’m going to make it up to Peter”

So, here’s a quick and dirty rendition of me WITH hair. It’s skewing a little bit like Roseld…

Our listener Ben wondered why his filipino friends would giggle when using the word “pokey”….

(original post on publicjourinal.com “pocky vs puke” link)

ポッキ [Japanese: po·kki | ‘po-kki | ]
puke [Tagalog: pu·ke | ‘poō-keh | ]

One is the sweet treat, and the other… well it could be a sweet treat.

Pocky [link], is a Japanese confection consisting of a biscuit/cookie/breadstick partially coated with a sweet shell.

Puke, is the generalized term for vagina.

Pukengkeng [ Tagalog: pu·keng·keng | ‘poō·kehng·kehng | ] is the slang for pussy, a contraction of “puke” and “kerengkeng” meaning a woman of loose morals.

There’s your lesson for the day, one step closer to becoming a cunning linguist.
