Decisions, Decisions...
My boyfriend came up with the lovely idea of having this on the SLUgS t-shirts for this semester:
Choose a Major. Choose Linguistics. Choose your phonation, fricatives, and cognates. Discover the etymology of pain, write a paper about it, and get a C. Choose to talk in Breathy voice for a day. Choose to talk about glottal stops to random people.
Choose the IPA, choose syntactic ambiguity and wonder who are at 3am
Yell fricative and see if people get upset.
Choose your future.
Choose SLUgS.

Alan told me that he got the idea from the movie TRAINSPOTTING. I thought it was a super cute little poem about linguistics and our college group. I set out to see the movie, a classic representative of the 90s, and what did I find?: Grossness taken to the next level, depravity and, to a certain extent, truth. If you have ever seen this movie then you know what I am talking about.
My problem now is that I am debating weather or not this poem, which makes reference to such a sick movie, should be on my very-wholesome group t-shirt. I still like the poem.

Was it really that bad? I still need to see it. I'm very scared. (Sorry Alex.) The poem is still very awesome, and movie references that only some people get are always awesome on t-shirts, regardless of the movie.
Another question: Does Alan like know everything about linguistics after dating you? Did he come with the fricative thing and everything? I'll bet just by sheer osmosis that he's acquired at least as much information as one gets in Ling 100. At least OUR Ling 100. ;)
