Fukudome is a Japanese baseball player’s last name, it is not a two part command, which I learned much to my disappointment. On Wednesday, I was at the coffee shop and I looked down at the newspaper on the table and saw the headline blaring “Fukudome picks Cubs.” I thought I was looking at one of the local gay rags, after all, it was a little dirty sounding word and the caption did involve a cub, which in gay parlance is a young bear.
Well, it turned out to be the sports section of the Chicago Tribune. I was a little confused so like any smart person, I read the article. Imagine me, reading the sports page. Don’t get me wrong, although I find it hard to follow sports, I love athletic bodies and with a compelling name like Kosuke Fukudome, I couldn’t resist reading about him. It is a name built for comedy. If only Abbot and Costello had been around to see this. Who would have been on first? Or better yet, who would have been on top? It really is up there in the top funny names like Joey Buttafuoco, Gina Lollobrigida, Anna Maria Alberghetti and Peter O’Toole.
He is adorable and he has a funny name. I’m sure he will give us hours of entertainment. I wonder what Hard Gay thinks of him?
The “Word of the Year” for 2007 according to Merriam-Webster is w00t. Huh? WTF? w00t? Well, w00tn’t U like 2 know? Well, of course you w00t. So, w00t is a hybrid of numbers and letters used as an exclamation of happiness or triumph made popular by the gaming community. It is a form of “l33t” speak, which stands for “elite” speak and is pronounced “leet.” It does remind me a bit of LoLcatspeak, but a little less cute and without the endearing pictures. Click here for more funny pictures of lolcats.
The significance here is that our language changes the more we are become a digital society. Eventually we may just write in binary code- 01 00 01 11 10 00 LOL!
Join us as we talk about new ways to relax and have fun around dead people, a baby in China was born in a toilet on a train and got stuck in the pipes, and a mystery man who decorates trees by the highway for Christmas.
