Maria Bartiromo pronounces every "s" as a soft "sh". It's getting worse.

[swag]

1. I expect to shtart hearing a whishtling shound mixshed in there shoon

on edit: corrected spelling of "shtart."

[jpgray]

2. Sho how are thingsh?

5. I'm considering buying someone an orchid as a housewarming gift

Good move, you think?

[swag]

6. Great choice.

V. classy.

[jpgray]

8. Thanks, I am now secure in my last-minute decision

Too bad she's sort of a houseplant Mengele.

[swag]

9. You are, as Steven R.Covey said, investing in your "personal bank account"

with her.

When she kills the orchid, your interest rate will shoot up as a result of her guilt.

Then you can manipulate the situation to your further great advantage.

That's what friends are for.

[jpgray]

14. I read the above post in the voice of Alan Greenspan

[swag]

15. I wish I could see that on youtube.

Drone on, Mr. Chairman, drone on!

4. You can't buy your teeth mail order

You have to get them fitted.

[swag]

7. One of the poignant paradoxes of our age.

[Beausoir]

10. She thinks it makes her sound more professional. Hannah Storm used to do

it too.

Suddenly, she just quit one day.

[swag]

16. I hope for a similar spontaneous remission in this dire case.

[asthmaticeog]

11. I'd shtill tap that ash.

[swag]

17. I think she was in the vanguard of last year's sector rotation from

coin slots to boob shots.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

66. lol

[tigereye]

12. but Joey Ramone wrote a song about her!

so it's all to the good.


ya know what I hate? People who say the word artists and drop the "s." Damned exasperating!!

how are ya, swag?

[swag]

19. Which "s" do they drop? Do they say "artist" or "our tits?"

I'm doing pretty good. How are you, tigereye?

Somebody from your town keeps calling my number on Sundays around noon. It's not you, though. I think it's those fucking Democrat fundraising people.

[tigereye]

27. like artist with an extra on the t, but no s

really bugs me, for some reason. Lazy diction.

I'll call you if you want! ;) Except that I'm usually at tai-chi and playing mah-johng after. So it ain't me.

[swag]

28. Fun. I used to play mah-jongg with my friend Cynthia and assorted pals

Cynthia had come back from Hong Kong and had become addicted to the crazy Hong Kong Mah-Jongg, so she and her sister and Aitch and I would get hypercaffeinated, play for a few hours, then go home with bloody hands.

Once I tried to play American Mah-Jongg with some co-workers in DC during lunch and became so agitated by the change in rules that I never played with them again.

Probably need some tai-chi to get centered and expel all that rage.

[tigereye]

30. we don't bet or anything like that

we play a pretty mellow version. Lots of snacks and chat, and all that. Not a lot of high action, or slamming of tiles. It would probably be cool to see a serious game.

[swag]

31. It does get fun when the aluminum bats come out.

[tigereye]

32. ah

:rofl:

that I wanna see. You probably have a link, don't you? :scared: ;)

[swag]

33. I'll work that concept.

[anarch]

13. I told you not to let the dog shit on the couch

we gotta teach him to shit on the floor, shee...how hard ish thish to remember?

[swag]

20. An important object lesson for all.

Sincere thanks to you, anarch.

[UrbScotty]

56. Beat me to it (nt)

[swag]

57. Tasty schtick.

Better luck next three times.

[GirlinContempt]

18. I'm more partial

to the creamy sound

[swag]

21. Mm. Creamy.

Rich wholesome creamy goodness.

[GirlinContempt]

22. Smooth going down

as well as coming out.

[swag]

23. Time for a cage match between the Money Honey and the Dairy Queen.

[GirlinContempt]

24. I think you know where my money'll be

[swag]

25. It's good that you won't have to mess with Mr. Softee this go-around.

[GirlinContempt]

26. I'm not worried.

I'll swallow the competition whole.

[swag]

34. It just occurred to me that you're not talking about eating ice cream.

[GirlinContempt]

35. What am I talking about?

Do you know?

[swag]

37. Maybe Queen Latifah and Monie Love have the answer!

[GirlinContempt]

65. Tight, man.

Tight.

29. Monkeydarts nails it commenting on idiot Kudlow's blog:

Monkeydarts said...

cmaye sez: "Does anyone notice that Maria Bartiromo tries to talk like Barbara Walters?" I didn't notice that but I did notice that, like many female TV personalities, she pronounces "S" as "SH". Annoying, and another good reason to leave the mute button on.

http://lkmp.blogspot.com/2005/06/death-of-death-tax-ii.html#111938423475079550

Sick and wrong.

[WCGreen]

36. Yesh......

But I'd still do her.....

[swag]

38. There seem to be a lot of volunteers for that spackling job.

Hm. Well, what do you know about that?

[WCGreen]

43. All I know is....

When she eer mentions Peak Oil....

And those charts with all the ups and downs...

I go a little bit crazy...

[swag]

44. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty

That is all ye know on earth
and all ye need to know."

[WCGreen]

46. Ain't it the truth....

[swag]

52. What are you?

Speaking truth to power again? For shame!

[swag]

45. Just say "no" to Keats dupes

[jpgray]

40. She kind of looks like a sixties-era Sophia Loren

I mean, when Sophia Loren was in her sixties.

[swag]

41. I would post that pic of Sophia looking down Jayne Mansfield's dress,

but I prefer not to look down Jayne's dress at this moment.

[jpgray]

42. There seems to be many of those

[rocktivity]

47. Don't blame Sophia--the way Jayne is standing

the girl can't help it.

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[swag]

48. I don't think anyone was assigning blame.

I don't even think anyone was making a moral assertion.

Mostly it's just complete douchebags who make a moral assertions.

[jpgray]

49. Bon Jovi for example is a morally bankrupt institution

[swag]

50. As is the rail drink from an unfriendly bartender.

[jpgray]

51. You should have tasted the black russians at Silverton's Grand Imperial

They were fucking delicious. No Bellows well vod for them!

[swag]

53. No Bellows well vod

No bulbs in this flat

We need a floor lamp

[jpgray]

55. Said "I'll see the manager"

She was the manager!

Up the stairs mister!

[swag]

58. What's a computer?

[malta blue]

59. Is it "slurpy" like Carl Kasell on NPR?

[swag]

60. I hadn't noticed that about Carl.

I'll give him more of a listen.

Thanks for the heads-up. I guess I won't be competing to have him do my answering machine message.

[malta blue]

61. LOL

My friend and I have determined that it is probably a denture slurp or whistle - depends on the day.

She has also stopped competing for him to do her answering machine.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

67. she had such potential

she coulda been a contenda.

i know itsh been shaid, but i would shtill like to put shome liberal in that conshervative, sho to shpeak.

[swag]

68. Ain't nothin' quite gets a man like TV talk of a "short squeeze,"

seems to me.
