This thread of youtube, she is so funny.
If you allow the indulge of me for moment, I have this episode of six separated degrees:
I work on these shoots of photo, and she is crazy sometimes, all the work. Most of my co-workers, they are of the
punk school, these mens. We travel a lot, and when all of us are together, weeks of a time, away from home and girlfriend, times it
dementia, you know.
This summer, we work of 2 weeks in Hamptons of NY. Very rich, these place. Some asshole of there, too, with too much money making them think crazy, like, "you no walk there, on my floor, it is rich, the floor." Why fuck have a floor with no chance to walk? Crazy from money, this one.
So, my friend, he starts to pretend he is Mexican. He is driving a van with full of rugs. He starts to call of himself, "The Rug Mang" and refer to his van as "My Rug Vang." It was stupid, this talk, but it ease of the pain. So, we all assholes start to do it. First, only when we are at the truck, as our little secret. Then, it start to creep onto the set and Director of Art and Stylist Head and Photographer would hear us. They not find it funny, as much, but fuck it, we did anyway. Before long, it was everywhere, the truck, the set, dinner, lunch, over the walkie-talkies, everywhere...
"Hey my frang, help me lift this rug, mang. I ain't strong, you understang? I can't lift this thang. My back get sprang. It's great pang."
Two weeks of this, everyone hate us with the passion. But funny is the thing, everyone started to get sick with the Mexican accent, too. Is funny, when you see Director of Art (Mr. Gay Sophisticate) catch himself accidentally calling you "mang." Is funny, he wants to be gay mad, but instead he is gay joy. Whole set, she breaks from laughter.
So I watch this video of youtube, and she reminds me of my co-workers and I with this accent of Mexico. I send them email of "hey mang, check this out."
And one of these friends,
she is of Stylist Fashion, one who started to hate us from the voice but eventually could talk only in our broken Manglish by the end. She writes back, and says:
"i know the aforementioned
mang Agostino. I stayed at his casa in Sicilia years ago while
backpackang with a girl frang. Then she fell in love with his frang and i
returned for a weddang on mt. etnang. and this day, she was truly a
beautiful flower."
She is small world, no? Is Beautiful, no? This fake languages of Italia and Mexi-slang, she does good for hearts.
