Things I can do in 10 minutes: Peel and eat an orange, read about 20 blogs, do my nails, pretend I exercised for 10 minutes but instead walk to Baskin Robins to get ice cream (DAMN YOU BASKIN ROBINS!), build a cyborg...

Andy:

I read your post today, did you mean “disease riddled whore”?

Bee:

Who’s a disease ridden whore?

Andy:

No, RIDDLED! I think you meant to say riddled not ridden.

Bee:

I’ve always said ridden. I’ve been wrong?

Andy:

Yeah. Ridden is the past tense of ride like what you do with a horse. “The horse was ridden in a derby.”

Bee:

You lie! That sounds stupid.

Andy:

What do you suggest it be? “The horse was RODE in a derby?”

Bee:

Well they shouldn’t make the English language so damned confusing. I mean, aren’t whores ridden too? Which is how they become infested with diseases?

horsewhoreshorse Edited for your protection

Andy:

See, if you were confused, you could have just said “disease infested whore”.

Bee:

I wasn’t confused. Besides, “disease infested” just doesn’t have the right ring to it.

Andy:

Haven’t you ever used the word riddled before?

Bee:

Um I don’t think so. I once heard somebody say they were riddled with guilt. Is that what you mean?

Andy:

Exactly! One is riddled with guilt, one is riddled with disease, one is riddled with lice…

Bee:

Ewww! … I always thought riddled meant like what the Riddler did to Batman. (in Riddler's voice) Riddle me this Batman- Eh! Wrong! You will now be Riddled by the Riddler!

Andy:

What the hell are you talking about?

Bee:

Whores?

Andy:

Can’t we ever have a normal conversation?

Bee:

You mean we should be talking about the economy, bills and the death of 401Ks?

Andy:

So, these disease ridden whores…

 

I then googled both terms and they are both acceptable so now Andy owes me about 10 minutes of my life back. I know it doesn’t seem like that convo was 10 minutes long but in between hand gestures, eye rolls and dancing (well, maybe not so much dancing as simulating riding a whore) it comes to about that.

P.S.

If one more asshole asks me if I know anybody with the pig virus I will slow cook them and pass them off as pulled pork!

  1. So that's what a disease ridden whore looks like! Finally. My life is complete. When I was a wee steenky bee, I thought "chest of drawers" was really "chester drawers". I was 26 when I discovered I was pronouncing it wrong. I thought Chester must have designed the first piece of furniture. You know, sort of like his sister, the lazy susan?

  3. I never got the whole riddled thing. Other things that stump me...the past tense of hang. Is it hung (hee hee) or hanged?

  4. Look up a "riddling board". That should throw you both for a loop.

  5. That picture's of a ridden horse, not a whore.

    If the whore gets rid of her disease, does that make her a disease ridded whore? Perhaps you and Andy can spend another 10 minutes working that one out

  6. Very funny, riddled with wit Bee. And thanks for editing that rider. My eyes might not have been able to take that this early in the morn.

    I always hate it when Hubby reads my blog and finds an error and the post has been up there for a day.

  7. Ok, so English is a messed up language, try this on for size:

    - i before e except after c and in words such as neighbor and weigh, weird, rottweiler, and the list goes on

    - I read the book "Rose Red". It was a good book to read.

    - I took the lead and led the group to the lead vests.

    - They're out there looking for their ball.

    - The captain took a bow on the bow of his ship when his crew praised him for making a bow and arrows set from a pine bough. That's when he noticed the woman with the pretty red bow in her hair.

    I'm going to have to do a post on the English Language and all it's foibles, this is only a small sample of what I've got :D

  8. Steenky:
    The hubs is constantly correcting me but I get back at him by laughing at him when he takes off his shirt. ;o)

    Jaime:
    I'm all talk but no bite. ;o)

    Kristen:
    You are lucky, he is *hung* like a horse if you are unlucky, he is *hanged* like a mouse. (:op

    TOS:
    Is it pervy? I'll check it out when I get home.

    Brian:
    You just blew my MIND!

    RG:
    Men! Can't live with them, can't make them into purses.

    Skye:
    Yup! Too much double talk! ;o)

  14. "One is riddled with chiggers."

    Hmmm.

  15. I apologize for my comment above.
    I blame Andy.

  16. I've always used "ridden" too.
    I had the same opinion as yours, I assumed that if you were "Riddled" that meant that someone stumped you with a riddle or joke or something.
    Is there another country that has a simpler language that's like english but not as hard?
    If so, I'm moving there. I'll look like a genius there, compared to looking like an idiot here.
    I am riddled with stupidity.
    Thanks Andy.
