Donde esta el cuarto de ba�o?

Univision, the Spanish language TV network, said before the US-Mexico World Cup game that they expected the game to provide the largest Spanish language rated television program ever in the US, despite the fact that it came in the middle of the night. One thing I thought was interesting was that Univision gets more viewers than ESPN for its soccer matches. Of course, when Disney decides not to show matches live, saving them for ABC in the middle of the day, Univision even gets people who barely understand Spanish to watch, like me.

Oh, and just in case you didn't hear, WOO HOO!!!

Knowing your Spanish skills, you probably only understood it if they said "Qui�n es m�s macho?" or "Juan est� vestido de Smoking." ;-)

Actually, I was surprised at how much I *did* understand when I watch in Spanish. Often times the teams would take the pelota down the izquierda or derecha sides. Piece of cake.

And shouldn't that be "Juan est� vestido de fumar"?

Nope. It should definitely NOT be vestido de fumar. That would be like saying bocadillo instead of un sandwich: two different things. Actually, it would more than likely mean that his clothes were actually giving off smoke if you said vestido de fumar.

I dunno, it would be pretty funny if Juan's clothes were so hot they were giving off smoke.

Upon reflection, I picked the wrong title for this entry anyway. Going by a previous post on this very blog (www.thereisnocat.com/showme102.html), I should have used the words "Puedo comer vidrio, no me hace da�o".

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
