Audio memes!
Feb. 2nd, 2011 07:32 pmSo I discovered how I can record myself on my Mac and I, of course, had to immediately try some of those audio memes out. So here's two of them:
The first one is taken from
metonomia:
IF YOU CAN CORRECTLY PRONOUNCE EVERY WORD IN THIS POEM, YOU WILL BE SPEAKING ENGLISH BETTER THAN 90% OF THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS IN THE WORLD. AFTER TRYING THE VERSES, A FRENCHMAN SAID HE’D PREFER SIX MONTHS OF HARD LABOUR TO READING SIX LINES ALOUD. TRY THEM YOURSELF.
I think I should get some free passes since I am not English and I haven't even heard of some of these words! Which you will clearly hear, since I will say some words several times and say them with a question mark. Let me know how I did.
( Dearest creature in creation... )
Meme the second: That accent meme thingy taken from
katakokk
a) your name and/or username
b) where you're from
c) the following words:
Aunt, Roof, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Orange, Coffee, direction, naturally, aluminium and herbs
d) randomness:
- what is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
- what is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
- what do you call gym shoes?
- what do you say to address a group of people?
- what do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
- what do you call your grandparents?
- what do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
- what do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
- what is the thing you change the TV channel with?
