Pong Latin

I have discovered a new love: Pong Latin. I discovered this on Saturday morning at Blackhawk while I was waiting around the lobby with Ed, Buck and Pastor Steve. I had to go and pick up Gary Chapman from his hotel room at 8:15 so we were just hanging out before I had to go. Buck wanted me to call Gary "Gar-Bear" and see what his reaction was, Pastor Steve wanted me to keep dropping the F-bomb when he got in the car (jokingly of course). Ed wanted me to call him "Gong-A-Rong-Yong". "What the heck was that?" I asked. He went on to tell me that it was Pong Latin, like Pig Latin, but with different rules. It's very easy, there are just 2 rules (I think):

1. After every consonant, add a "ong" on to the end of the letter.
2. Say every vowel

For instance, my name would be: Zong-E-Kong-E Long-A-Song-Hong-U-A (Zeke Lashua)

Amber and I were out to dinner on Saturday and I was looking at signs and saying the names in Pong Latin, we were cracking up. Tiki Bar is Tong-I-Kong-I Bong-A-Rong.

I dont' know, maybe it's not that funny, but I find it quite amusing. I love this one: A-Nong-Dong-Yong Dong-O-Bong-Bong-I-Nong-Song (Andy Dobbins). The "Bong-Bong" in the last name is great.

So, try it yourself and get a good laugh.

I'm such a nerd.

I'm studying hard for my test on Friday the 24th! I have my last class in Milwaukee tonight. I think I'll do alright. At least I get next Friday off of work and possibly next Thursday for a study day. And I don't have to take vacation, sweet!

This weekend I'm heading up north to visit my family, see my G-pa and check out the fall colors! Amber has to work on Sat. so she isn't coming. My G-pa isn't doing too hot, he has Parkinson's and just got diagnosed with some sort of anemia so we don't know how much time he has left so I want to go up there to spend some time with him. It'll be great to see the rest of the family too.

Anyway, stayed tuned for a post about poverty tomorrow as part of Blog Action Day 2008.
