The Olden Days

Will: Don't you remember those Omega-3 pills I sent you? Like, for memory enhancement?
Marianne: Wait, wha...? I dunno....what are you talking about. OHHHH, those pills!
Will: Obviously I should've sent her more.

-----------------------------------------

Marianne: Oh yeah! And the best ones were like the hologram sticker ones.
Me: I remember one time when I was in grade school, this guy randomly came up to me and was like "I'll give you 3 dollars for that Sailor Moon Card!" And I was like uhhhh, this is weird...3 dollars, that's like 12 bags of chips from Tuck Hing.

-------------------------------------------

Marianne: Wait, you bought slammers??
Me: No, I WON them! In our pogs competitions!

---------------------------------------------

Will: Yeah, the lunch we had in our school was awful. Then some days, like every Tuesday, they'd have milkshakes that were like 3 dollars, so we just had to buy them cuz there was nothing else that was good.
Marianne: Oh, 3 dollars, so that was worth either 12 bags of chips or one Sailor Moon hologram card.

Rapper Misnomers...

Javi: Didn't Sara say she lived near 52-Cents or something..?
Bub: Bwahahahaha - you mean 50-Cent. Has there been inflation or something?

Then the person on the other side of the phone would be like "Uh, sorry this isn't a pizzeria" then he'd say, "Oh okay, well then your large pizza will be there in 20 minutes." And the person would be like whaa? Wait they dialed the wrong number and now I'm getting a pizza delivered?

Janet: Oh, look, they're selling pasta.
Mabel: Mmmm, they have spinach fettucine. And the orange kind too. It looks really good. That one looks like rubber tubing.

Gross Misnomers

Nancy: So, you know how in Spanish they say ¨teta¨ for breast and you know how they like to directly translate things... I had this 30-some year old student who was talking about his wife breast-feeding, and he´d say, ¨frahm deh teet of deh mather¨and I´m like...uhhhh, that sounds really bad. Then instead of saying ¨tidy¨ he´d keep saying ¨tittie¨ and I just tell him, ¨You know, what you´re actually saying is that your house is a boob.¨

"How long is this madlib??!!"

On the Track of Bigfoot

One fuzzy day, our class went hiking along the chicago River. Like all gummy hikers, we were ready for any emergency. In our backpacks, we carried jugs, shrimp, and one stocking.

As we walked along the trail, Ms. Fitz noticed a(n) shiny footprint. “Do you think a(n) fez hat made these tracks?” Ms. Fitz asked.

“No, but let's follow them anyway,” suggested corinne.

We booted for hours. Then I screamed, “Wokka!! I think I see a huge boob.”

“How long is this madlib??!!” we heard someone say. It was Ms. Cancelliere.

“Ms. Cancelliere!” we screamed. “We thought you were a huge boob!”

“Do I look like a huge boob? Well, as long as you're all here, you can help me look for light beams. There are lots of them here along the chicago River. We can take them back to school and study them under our microscopes.”

“How long is this madlib??!!!” everyone said.

You mean there's no huge franchise where I can get greasy burgers and bad pizza?

Melissa: So, I told one of my students that VIPS doesn´t exist in the US, and he had this look of... horror, sadness, and confusion on his face.
Mabel: VIPS has such bad food though. It´s like just bland American food. Like, BLT sandwiches, pizza, and really bad Mexican.
Carrie: Yeah, I know. My daughter loves it though.
Ricardo: Did you tell your student that every place in the US is a VIPS?

Unplanned Accomodation

Javi: I planned this all from the beginning, you know. I called the hostel beforehand and told them, "I want a huge private room, please, with 10 beds -- all singles. And I also want a very very steep incline gravel road as parking for my car, so that the adventure never ends."
