此porch非彼porsche

在澳洲的時候常常看一些免費的背包客雜誌，雖然大部分內容都看不太懂，不過至少可以看看笑話，經常有取笑blonde金髮美女的笑話，不過我們都知道，這是一種偏見與刻板印象，大家笑笑就好。

譬如這裡有個flash動畫，嘲笑blonde分不清porch跟porsche。

porsche，保時捷‧

porch，陽台、門廊。

在學Bryan Adams的Summer of '69時，學到了porch這個單字，歌詞中有一句是：『Standin' on your mama's porch』，那時心理的OS是：站在你媽媽的保時捷上？什麼跟什麼啊？Orz

這網站有一篇笨金髮女孩的笑話，注意：此網站為十八禁！

Smelly Cat

Smelly Cat

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat. What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat. It's not your fault.

They won't take you to the vet.
You're obviously not their favorite pet.
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat. It's not your fault.

It may not be a bed of roses.
You're not friend to those with noses.
I promise you, before we're done
all the world will smell as one.

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat. What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat. It's not your fault.

Smelly Cat from Phoebe Buffay, Friends.

Phoebe sang in the coffee shop in Season 2 Episode 17. (Link to YouTube)

After came home from Australia, I've worried about the degeneration of my English. At least I wanna keep my listening ability as good as possible. So I'm going to try many ways. One of them is to watch soap opera or sitcom. So, Friends!

Pheebs portrayed by Lisa Kudrow is my most favorite character in Friends. Phoebe was known during the series as the eccentric but street-smart friend.

Hey, there's t-shirt of Smelly Cat! I wanna one.

Besides, I'm listening to the Stack Overflow's podcast by Joel and Jeff. And some English-learning magazines. I think only using one magazine is not enough because we have to get used to different accents and speaking tones.

If you have any idea to improve English, please tell me.
