This attempt at English is shitloads better than mine at Cantonese!

Maybe it was just bad timing, maybe one must work on “the hill” to truly appreciate the hilarity, or maybe it truly was lack of interest, but a posting of Crapartist‘s a little while back, I found to be the apex of sarcasm. Please take a gander: R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

My apologies for the formality of my writings as of late. I just finished Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, the English translation for which, over the entire course of the book, tends to be quite precise while at the same time, quite disjointed on account of its being written in, recursive comma fragments, like these, that kind of makes reading the narration, after a long hard day’s work, a bit tedious and, depending upon my attentive capacity of that particular day, exacting. Consciously or not, I now find myself, after reading the great work, writing, haphazardly, in the same, ridiculous, fashion. Cheers!

“…my name is Tawnya and I’m nearly peeing myself in excitment at the distinct pleasure of taking your call! And just how may I satisfy your fax, printer, and/or copier accessory needs today? What’s that? You’re not used so much enthusiasm from an office supply specialist. Well mine is not your usual office supply company. You see, all of us here at CE are required to take part in an extensive personal optimization program (POP) so that us real employees can become at least as attractive, and chipper as the folks who are depicted on our extensive line of superior office products.

Please call us first with all of your office supply needs… we promise you nothing short of WOW! service. As you can tell from my picture, I never tire of my callers’ clever quips and crazy office hijinks.”
