Conversations
The scene: Blurred Lines is on the radio, I'm driving but crazy-dancing/waving my arms around.
Nick: You love that song, eh?
Me: I do!
<dancing begins>
Do you like my dance? Does it make you love me even more??
N: Oh ya babe, you're like a pig on heat.
<pause to digest this>
M: A PIG? I'm a pig?!
N: No, you're not a pig, it's just like, you're a pig on heat.
M: I don't think that's a thing.
N: Of course it is. It's a saying. It's an English thing. sidebar: someone English please verify this for me.
M: Are you trying to say a pig in heat?
N: No. ON. Like, you put a pig on heat.
M: Umm, well there's two sayings, do you mean 'a pig in shit' or 'a dog in heat'?
N: No. ....A dog? What's that about? What's the difference between a pig or a dog on heat.
M: No a dog IN heat.
N: Oh. Nope. That's not it either.
Then we just laughed and laughed.
