violin or italian. or flying.

La Joconde said...

Flying...like a bird? Very good idea! I like violin and italian... I think speaking italian would be more easy to me than playing violin... because of my impatience.
Ciao bella!
Potete parlare facilmente italiano...

I think it's kind of silly to choose something you could learn anyway through the passage of time. Why not pick the impossible?

Kate Robinson said...

well, steve, it's about being lazy, see?

Rocket Surgeon, Phd said...

"Wow, Bob, Steve took it hard on the chin on that one. Can he recover?!?"

I never said anything about the impossible or defying the laws of nature and physics. I meant to nlearn quickly something that typically takes a lengthy amount of time to master.

La Joconde said...

An impossible thing now can become a possible thing tomorrow...
I am sure of it.

You're even reading the question lazily, KR. Why choose to be lazy when you can instead elect to accomplish something mere perseverance could never achieve?

Josh, not limiting the question to the laws of physics made this path possible; you can't get that toothpaste back in the watermelon.

"Oh my goodness, Bob, He wheeled back around, found his footing and is now striking at the face of his opponent...I'veNeverSeenAnythingLikeThisInAllMyYears!!!"

Kate Robinson said...

no, no steve. i understood the question completely and i was saying that i chose that because i am TOO LAZY TO LEARN TO PLAY DRUMS!

then everyone misinterpreted my response and for some reason thought i was calling YOU lazy, instead of me. my apologies, sir!

barefootkangaroo said...

Wait... who's lazy? Now I'm confused. It's too hard to back through all those comments and try and figure this out. I'm gonna roll over and take a little nap instead. When you get a chance, could one of you tell me who is the lazy one?

Kate Robinson said...

i am

misserose said...

let's all be lazy. mmmm.
laaaazyyyy.

I so want to play the guitar...or piano...

No apologies necessary; I didn't think you were calling me lazy! I just think that this question works best if I ignore laziness and give myself a power I could never accomplish by myself. I mean, I can always plan on getting around to learning how to play the drums. Try that with faster-than-light travel by air! Go on! I dare you! All of you!
