You weren’t crossing the street, you were walking along in the middle of the street.

Considering the general conditions, what with all of that ice and snow, the fact that there are an awfully lot of dumb drivers who may or may not be illiterate, and the nature of the photos you post in your blogs, one can presume that you let the little head make the decisions.

After all, males have two heads but only enough blood for one of them.

But it was cold on that day, so I wonder where did the blood in your body go?

If people dont normally look like how they appear on TV, why not dub voices as well? If I were on TV, I hope they dub me with Chewbacca’s or Kramer’s (Seinfeld) voice. I have a lot of animal lust in me and it needs to be tapped and channeled.

You just brought back a memory…

The house I grew up in, I distinctly remember my father having two signs made and posted them on the street that said.

“Deaf Child Area”

I’m going to take a ride down to my hometown and see if my signs are still there…

Take a picture, maybe take it and give it some other deaf child that needs it.

Well, I had a discussion with my co-worker today who watched DWTS last night. She is a reality show freak. Anyway she thought MM danced good and could swear that MM was counting simply because she appeared very focused. Got around to the DUBBING issue! This is what she said: MM’s voice is offensive. MM’s voice is not pleasant. She thought maybe the show’s producer preferred MM’s voice to be dubbed in consideration of the rest of the population. Hmm intersting view of hers. Most hearing will understand her voice and even my co-worker agreed but insisted that MM’s voice is unpleasant to hear. Nasally even – a deaf voice.

Personally, who cares. At least MM is dancing and is on the show which is more than can be said by anyone.

MM is not acting on the show…it’s a reality show. Thus, if she was acting and playing the role of a deaf person, then her deaf voice would be used. Just one way to look at it.

So her voice being dubbed isn’t a biggie? Methinks the producer of the show doesn’t know that Marlee has used her voice a lot in her shows and movies. She sounds just fine, better than some hearing people I know, especially those crossing, ummm , nevermind. LOL! That’s what makes it a biggie for me….the producer’s pre-conceived notions….
