El deseria por bailar, como el pepino... pero no puede.

Is it sad that I only remember the Spanish word for "bear" because they used it on Lost? Or that I can remember butter because Larry the Cucumber says that he can dance "como mantequilla en un chongo barron"?

I am so in trouble if I ever go someplace that only speaks Spanish.

Me: "Hola. Uh... hola. Uh... er... Mantequilla! Bese el mono! Hormigas!"

Spanish Speaker: *sidles away*

While I'm here... why do people shout louder if someone can't speak their language? This annoys me to no end. Yeah, like shouting makes people understand things any easier. Crazy stupid *grumble grumble grumble*
