I Think You Mythspelled That Word...

Deb likes to watch television with captions.

aequitaslevitas just reported - on account of me saying my ability to spell was ded - that whoever did the captions for the show they watched on the Travel channel about Atlantis was either very tired (my personal excuse) or very incompetent.

For example:

"the volcano erupted violently and covered the island in ash and pumas"

"ash and pumas" - used multiple times throughout the program

"the island of Conosos" - used a couple times, then corrected to Knossos

"they were worshippers of the sea god, Pasidon"

Ash and pumas. *cackle*
We're actually laughing aloud over here.

You know those pumas had to either sound good or be in excellent physical shape... I'm sure at one point they had to comment on the pumas tone.

*snort* I'd like to see THAT exfoliation commercial ...

You'll have to keep your eyes peeled... =)

Ash and pumas? Aw man, that'd be the worst volcano *ever*. First you have to deal with lava, then with all the stuff the lava burned, then the thick ash and now predators?!

Though, Ash & Pumas would be a great name for a band.

See, I knew it had to sound good!

(ref. other comment thread, where I discuss the pumas tone)

Aye and they'd be angry pumas. I'd be angry too if I'd been suddenly flung out of a volcano.

Oh, I don't know. After the third or fourth time I tend to get used to it. It becomes kind of routine.

"Oh, hey. There goes the ash. C'mon cats, we're up next! It's showtime!"

Maybe that's the real reason there weren't any body casts in Herculaeneum. It was the unfortunate victims of Vesuvius' supply of angry pumas, who ate all of the citizens.

I really wonder about those subtitle people sometimes.

One too many pumas landed on their head, I expect.

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

I hate it when pumas fall on my head.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Well, the worst part is that they land on your head with their feet.

Those claws don't make for comfy headgear.

This made me laugh very hard!
