Exaggeration Theatre

An exchange between roommates @ "CTU Northgate," aka, casa de Denis y JB.....approx. late afternoon Wednesday....


Denis (looking up from playing World of Warcraft): "So did you hear about the thing
with Hilary Clinton & Dimitry...Ram-bama-*&$%! (imitating gibberish)?"

JB: "Whabua-who?"

Denis: "Thats the thing...I can't pronounce the second party's name, though for the record, they WERE talking about international rel-"

JB: "Be Kind, rewind...."

Denis: "Hilary Clinton got slammed during a democratic debate for mis-pronouncing the Russian presidential candidate's name."

JB: "I'm guessing Obama sidestepped the whole debacle simply en-nobling him as just "Mr. Russian Guy-ovitch."

Denis (points to his secondary laptop): "Yeah, heres his name."

JB: "Um, Dimitri...Me deeve deeve?!?"

Denis: "My best guess is Dimitri Me de vee de vee!"

JB: "...Dimitri dev...dev...frak! My goal in life now is to get this right."

Tom (Denis brother, intervenes): "heres an audio sample..."

JB, Tom, Denis (all together): "Dimitri MeDEVDEV"
Computer: "Dimitri MedVEDEV"

JB, Tom, Denis (all together): "Dimitri MEDVEDEV...."

JB: "PHEW...Seriously, his name is a international incident waiting to happen....BURN!"

JB: "no no no. His last name is the little palindrome that could."

Tom (laughs like a little girl)

Denis (World of Warcraft character suddenly gets AOE'd to death...)
