Bok-BOK!
Lately I have been clucking at Karina when she is in her office. I enjoy this very much. I have no idea where this came from, but when I pass by her office, I go bok-BOOOOKK and then I scram. Sometimes she looks up. What? Is that a chicken I hear? But now I think she is used to this clucking. I will have to find another sound. Or maybe I will do it in French or Spanish. I actually do not know how a chicken sounds in French or Spanish, but I imagine it’s like this “le cluckeaux! le cluckeaux!” or “la clucka! la clucka!” If I were fancy, I would use the upside down exclamation mark for the Spanish one, but guess what? I don’t know how to do that. I am just not fancy. I will learn how to live with this. Anyway I am very good at clucking. Sometimes Karina looks under her desk. Maybe there are some farm fresh eggs?
Speaking of which, have you ever seen an egg that is literally fresh from the chute? It’s kind of gross. Like there’s this ‘film’ on it and it’s warm. Like body temperature warm. It’s nasty dude, just nasty. I was wondering how often chickens lay eggs and researched on the interwebbingz and learned that it’s about once every 24 hours, but that to get the eggs fertilized, the hen can store semen in her oviducts for a MONTH. That’s like a Manhattan Mini-Storage up in that hoochie. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I just had a egg moment where I wanted to vomit.
My tissues smell like bacon, for no real reason. I just got Planet Earth via Netflix. I think it has a sad ending.
I think that covers it.
¡Fancy!
I will file this post under “Trying Too Hard” in the “Annie needs to start editing her posts” subfolder.
for the spanish symbols you just have to buy a spanish keyboard, though in spain we call it simply keyboard. It has all those simbols integrated
¿¿¿¿? ¡¡¡¡¡¡! ñññññ ÇÇÇ êéè áâÀ óôò úûùü.
But I reckon that german and hebrew keyborards are also very fancy. They have a lot of weird stuff going on that I don’t have, also arabic ones. Once I had in my hands a cellphone with arab characters on the keypad, pretty cool.
Ah, sorry to say that for the chicken sound we just say “cluak, cluak” but you can try the one we use for birds. “Pio, Pio”. So “Tweety” in spanish is “Piolin”, go figure
Factoid: Eggs are supposed to have orange yolks. The pale, jaundiced egg-centers most people are used to seeing is the result of the crap most hens are force-fed in egg factories. Buy organic. The eggs taste MUCH better and it’s easier to forgive their freshly-laid condition.
Oh yeah! bok-BOK is when you get to the 3rd paragraph only to realize that putting clucking and spilling and egg inspections and sobriety tests….in 3 paragraphs SUCKS, more than it clucks.
Annie + time lapse photography would kick an Oscar on its Ass.
