I was planing on going to bed an hour and a half ago. Ah well.
I find it hilarious (and interesting) that english people have a different way of laughing than americans. Oh, yes, it makes sense, but I’d love to see an analysis of how people laugh in different languages, and why it’s different – you know, different vowels stressed in the course of the language, whatever.
I was listening to a couple of english girls laugh, and it was so peculiar. (Stop worrying, Kim, I never noticed your laugh). I can’t believe I’m fascinated by this, how boring is that?
Reminds me of the flash site I saw a long time ago that had animals set up like that old pull-the-string-and-pick-an-animal, except they’d recorded kids from around the world making the sounds that the animals make to them.
For instance, the way the french bark like a dog is a lot like “uah! uah!” That always stuck with me.
I don’t think you’ve ever really seen me laugh to be honest. It’s a different sort of demeanor…same with when we all get together for a natter and talk bollocks.
You’re saying you’ve never laughed in my company? Dag, yo.
Not that I recall. You have to really get me going for that, otherwise it’s just chuckling to be polite.
you need to do a voice post ;)
I don’t need to *do* anything ;O)
you need to not reply to this comment! :P
Apparently, Pigs in Japan make a sound somewhere between ‘boo’ and ‘buh’ (Jeef’s -half-brother’s-mother used to make the noise to her grandson, who thought it was *the* most hilarious thing on earth.)
