In my view.... SPORTS is not that high of a priority, given the fact that money could be better spent on higher-priority needs. Note: I am no jock. Never have been. I am a ROWER, and not a jock. Note2: Rowing does not cost much, if you have a river nearby, or even a long canal.

I dunno, but..... No Black Valley Girls can measure up to the likes of..... And, Baby Love..... STOP......!!!!!!! In the name of love..... These were not Valley Girls..... They were REAL GIRLS.... Real American girls. Where are they now? The TRUE American Girls?

Here is just another thought on this Topic, from the Google AI... Are there any up-to-date radiologists here who can learnedly cast better light on this question? For example: https://www.dental.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/fac_perspective_final.pdf Should the dental office have both CT and DBCT scan equipment?

Does anybody still recall when, many decades ago.... American Girls were just so good? Whatever happened to those American girls? Care to take a guess?

Might one also add an important observation? Back in he day, when this tune was created and recorded..... Girls were better. Girls did not speak with this FRY affectation. Neither did they resort to UPTALK, just another California affectation. Those were the days...the good old days....when.... Girls were girls...and...when.... Men were Real Men..... Yet....now....We can never return. And, we can never go home, again.... If things keep going to heck with our world....then...presumably.... Even our beloved frogs will, someday, no longer be with us in our world. We will become the Last of the Mahicans.....in effect.... The last animals on Earth.

The tune I linked is, after all, about being driven CRAZY..... And, about a man being driven to SAND...... This is what UPTALK has been doing to me during the past 15 years..... So, this is just to honestly answer your question...and..... Nothing More....

This Topic is about California FRY.....and not.... California fire, or fires. Please don your reading glasses. Thank you!

Oh.... In fact, I had been totally taken in by his story. You mean.... His account is not based on a true account?

RIght. It ain't me, Babe.

What you are referring to is NOT a question. No, we linguists refer to this as something called....UP-TALK. UpTalk has also driven me fairly crazy, during the past decade....(why do you think that I am as crazy as I am, these days?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal Uptalk has become very prevalent, especially in places like Oregon, California, Seattle, and APPLE COMPUTER COMPANY....for over a decade. Drives me CRAZY..... ======= Still, I do not mind UPTALK when it happens with a very sexy young thing........

For some time now, I have been a bit concerned about the relatively-older CAT Scanning equipment used by my dentist. Imaging technology progresses very quickly. And, not all dental practices are able to keep abreast of the newest costly imaging technology. Therefore, is there at least one company/hospital which might offer the newest and highest resolution tech in a major city in Thailand, such as BKK or CM? If so, what might be the advantages of going to such a company to have CAT Scans done out of house, by one imaging lab? Here is some info from Nature, concerning newer imaging technology: Here is why I ask this question: We all know that physicians are UNABLE to treat what they cannot see. Therefore, better imaging might lead to better treatment. I question whether or not my clinician has the money to spend on the best imaging equipment. And so, where can I go to get the best scans, here in Thailand, not just in BKK, but also in CM.... Any views? Tks. Gamma

If the OP is worried about PUSH-BACK from a Taxi Driver that has become angered by a bad review... Then how fortunate for him that he had not been riding with Travis Bickle.... Never get into an argument or any sort of confrontation with a Taxi Driver in New York or Thailand. This is the lesson you need to learn. And, mark my words! Note: Personally, I give Travis a TOP review, 10 out of 10...!

I will try to post more Topics about Thailand, exclusively about Thailand. This might help.

Heaven Forbid! She says: Why do you PRONUNCIATE everything? a. I commend these Black Valley Girls for NOT speaking with vocal fry... THANK YOU....!!!!! b. But, have they ever read a book, one wonders? c. Nice girls, to be sure....though.....I think.....maybe..... d. Are they airheads, one might wonder? e. Do they read The New Yorker? ============== THANK YOU, girls...for not speaking with vocal fry. Because, I enjoy listening to you two girls. You are NOT annoying, at least to me.

Good Idea! Do you have the time to create a YT video and then post here in TV?

Who cares.... I do not care about Politics nor World Affairs. And, this is NOT a Political Thread, obviously.

This!!!! This is not....NOTHING...!!!!! I love the UN. So nice!!!

Most Chinese girls would not do this, not communicate, and also would not stay out until 5AM. What happened to the friend mentioned in this article? Too many missing parts in this story. Need more info....

Vocal Fry from California has been driving me up the walls...for years. And, this blight upon the land is spreading. I also do not go for Valley Girls, or Valley Speech.

If you say so. I would rather give my donations to the United Nations.

Yes. One of his GREATEST stories, IMHO. A very famous frog, indeed.

Dear Folks, Some might say that notes uttered by birds are annoying, but not I. Sweet birdsong is relaxing and uplifting. What really bugs me is listening to the California birds uttering utterances in the style of frog vocalizations. Of course, I do love listening to FROGS vocalize like frogs, but not that species of humans which imitates the bullfrog. What is the purpose of California Fry, other than to be just plain annoying? And, what would Mark Twain have said about men who speak with such a pronounced fry? Mark Twain once wrote a story about a famous frog of Calaveras County, and most enjoyable it was. But I think Twain would poke fun at the New Californians, maybe some from the Valley, that pretend to actually BE frogs. These days, I worry that this California Fry is just too contagious, and will pollute our planet, if things continue like this, unchecked. I guess you recall Kaplan. He is about my age, and, to my ear, he speaks normally. How difficult can it be? Why do the New Californians find it so difficult to speak like the Real Men who busted the sod, tamed the wilderness, and created the paradise that California has become? Just listen to Kapan speak, and tell me why, if Kaplan can speak normally, …. Why can’t these New Californians. We used to think it was only the California girls that spoke with extreme vocal fry, those and also the girls on National Public Radio, for example. But now, many men have caught the bug from the girls, and….how annoying is this!!! Did Tony Soprano speak with vocal fry? Not in the year 2000. In my day, NOBODY did. I think this is just one more thing indicative of the decay and decadence now polluting America, and soon the entire world. And, there seems no advantage to it, either. Are we now just becoming too old for this world? Should we just stop fretting about this and let the young people enjoy the ever more warped world that mass media and Social Media is enabling them to create? Such an annoyance. And, such a shame, too, that our once-tolerable world of just two decades ago is now lost and almost completely gone. Really annoyed, and… The shallowness of the New Californians seems mind-boggling to thinking people of my day. Best regards, Gamma Note: Talk about Total CHAOS taking over ... .Here are true words from Robert D Kaplan, one who I often read in The Atlantic, decades ago. And not one croak will you hear listening to this vid. No truer words were ever spoken.

If one watches the series, The Sopranos, one can compare the quality of writing, selection of music, choice of film locations, which went into the creation of the Mafia story 25 years ago, versus what is on offer today. Like night and day. These days, viewers would not recognize a good production if they fell over it. The bar has been lowered, just too low, and getting lower by the year. what was, 25 years go, is now a lost world. New Jersey and the TRISTATE area was an amazing place to live, back in the day. Cheese Steaks were CHEAP.

It might be better if the pressure cooker were electric. Kitchens get hot in Thailand. An electric pressure cooker makes more sense during the Hot Season.
