Day of the Burning Burrito


Well, by now a great many people should have received brightly colored, friendly-yet-mysterious looking envelopes with my letters in them. Roughly 80% of them had Hispanic names, which means that if the pattern holds true, I should be getting about five phone calls today.

All.

In.

Spanish.

And yet, I do not speak Spanish. You wonder why this blog is called Flipping Insanity?

Serious question: How do you say "I'll call you back tomorrow with a translator?" I know how to say "tomorrow" in Spanish, but that's about it. I must do some research...

google translation tool suggests, "Te llamaré mañana con un traductor"

Buenos suerte!

Don't say that, it's rude. Say something like "Le llamo a usted mañana con un traductor".

Also, make sure you pronounce it right, or they won't understand what you're saying.

Enlightened yet? Good. ;)

buena suerte

Gracias. I have no idea what the difference is, but something tells me to trust you, mysterious Internet stranger...

I'm not that strange. I'm known as 'ack' on CAF, but I don't have a Blogger account, and am therefore anonymous here...
