The benefits of a liberal arts education.

In which I realize something!

You know when someone says, “Say ‘Irish wrist watch’ fast three times!” and most people try to and proceed to totally mess it up?

Well, I don’t. I can say all kinds of awkward shit really fast three times! And I just realized that this is entirely due to all the pronunciation and diction one learns inadvertently when studying classical voice, which I did in high school and junior college.

Irish wrist watch! Irish wrist watch! Irish wrist watch!

    Hi gb I’ve just discovered your blog to my joy! Love it! Does Bindu have her own page…I’m looking for it. Now oh one of the subtle tongue I challenge you to say this six times with speed:
    “Flipping Five Frisky Fritters Forwards” go on. Now faster, faster

    Welcome! I said it seven times before flubbing, and I’m drunk. So there! -m

    I can’t say it. However, I can think it perfectly.

    I cannot say Irish wrist watch. But I can think it perfectly. Brain wins over mouth. Wish it was like that in real life.

    Me too. -m
