叶公好狗

仔仔买新车了。我们在Mazda 3, Matrix, CR-V 和 RAV4 之间做选择。仔仔从开始就想要一个五门的,“空间要大,将来好搬东西”,还要省油。我就开始嘲笑仔仔,你要搬什么东西?像足球妈妈一样搬一车的孩子?但是买车的时候一只想象中的狗获得了一些发言权。我说要将来有了狗,最好还是买大一点的CR-V或者RAV4。仔仔说Matrix的后座可以放平,前座也可以放平,“我再把车窗放下,那个狗就可以把头伸出窗外了”。我听着就乐了。仔仔知道我想要一只狗,他已经去研究了狗的书,狗的录像,向同事讨教了养狗经验、训狗秘笈。现在又在活灵活现描述狗在车里的举止神态,好像这只狗已经来了一样。

最终还是买了一辆黑色的Matrix。我说跟我的车一个风格,我的是一辆黑色的Sports Wagon。仔仔说,“哦?你的车不是蓝色吗?”

John Barrowman's What I know about men

John Barrowman没有什么高深的观点,但他的话直接了当,让人发笑之后又觉得舒心地可爱。

I moved to the UK in 1990. Scott, my civil partner, is British. I think I prefer British men to American men. British men have changed over the past few years. They are beginning to take care of themselves and hell, nothing beats a foreskin. A lot of Americans are snipped at birth, Jewish or not.
