Oh, how I love not-so-bright people.
Edited on Mon Nov-02-09 08:23 AM by Tommy_Carcetti
While watching yesterday's Vikings-Packers game:

"So, are these like the finales?"

So wrong on multiple levels. Yet so beautiful.

Just a quick point of reference: This same person once used Glenn Beck as an authority on energy policy.

2. I think it's funny - people are always trying to "fancify" English
for some strange reason. So "final" becomes "finale," "forte" is mispronounced as "for-tay," and "turbot" is mispronounced as "tur-bow," probably because it sounds French.

3. Not to mention the fact that "Playoffs" became "Finales"
and that it was freakin' October.
