I still want the euro bumps from your "BEATER"....please. I have the money ready, just need you to remove them for me....please?
Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite
Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.
Just to set the record straight......Its Schwarz!! Not Schwartz, its not from Spaceballs or Jewish. SCHWARZ pronounced "Shvahrz" ;)
Mariano
as for the pronunciation, I think schwartz might be more phonetic than shvahrz. The german letter Z has a t sound in it, usually trailing, "zett," but I tend to hear many native speakers lead the z with a soft t. My family is swiss though, so I have zero credibility. I learned ending z's pronounced like "tset" in one syllable. listen to me
Jewish? OK I know the spiel about the "schwartz" instead of the force in spaceballs. Was it supposed to be a jew joke though? Can't remember.
fyi. Plenty of gentile german folk immigrated, and the ellis island folk mispelled their name to schwartz. Just like everyone does here. Or, just downright anglicized it to "Black". It's an incredibly common surname (so the wikipedia tells me), much more than there are jews in the US.
nm this vodka tonic is making me type things waaay OT, back to the discussion
...sigh... Good find. Somebody prolly asked this already, but what color are you gonna paint her?
