I can't understand her. She needs to get that rice bowl out of her mouth.

LOL! My daughter loved the flick, Spanglish. She's they type of person that when she loves a movie watches it many times and wants you to watch it and love it. I watched it w/ her and liked it. That will do for her.

I understood the Jap @ first. But when she got to the part of reading something on the subway I lost her.

Keep hanging around, bags. Just avoid political discussions w/ the Angry Man. Trump lost Sixty w/ the NYC liberal, gun hating and due process ignorance. He's taking a sabbatical.

Of course, Angry Man is Trump 24/7. Rice bowls.

Doing posts mocking the death of a child, less than a week after the horror those poor parents experienced, is depraved. Sorry I had to say it here, but to even say one word on those despicable posts is something I won't do.

While a son learns much from his mother, a son's father is the template for how he feels toward children. My old man was an unabashed lover of children. He was an introvert but would light up whenever he was around children. I thank God for that example of how adults should treat children.

Can't understand her. Sorry.

Plus, most women comics are lesbo or unfunny. OR both.

I thought she was incredibly funny and right at the end too. I have an ear for accents especially for being in the business of engineering I'm in, you always work with a diverse group of people from all over the world, so listening to accents comes to me fairly naturally. I also like to play a guessing game of where accents come from and I'm fairly accurate. Not always, but I immediately tuned to Yoriko's accent. I've spent a lot of time in Japan, so any Japanese I run into that try to speak english with me was a delight because it was very cute and innocent and they tried really hard.
