Why is it that when I get *way* stoned and strung out, I hear English
when people speak Spanish, and they seem to think I'm speaking Spanish
when I'm speaking English?

Lucky bastard. When I'm baked everyone sounds like the teacher from
Charlie Brown. This can have serious reprecussions in a court of law,
by the way.

I dunno, but I got really baked once and watched "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon" without subtitles and I would have sworn to "Bob" that
I could understand every word they were saying in Chinese.
Urr I mean, I could understand it, and they were talking in Chinese.
Not "I could understand it in Chinese".
Urr or something.

I watch un-subtitled anime and somehow understand it in Manglish. Of
course, the tentacle rape scenes are pretty much self-explanatory,
squishy squishy.
