mister owl, how much succ does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

a-one, two-hoo, thrrree, CRUNCH


hospital visit

the person on the phone said "'B' as in 'boy'?" and for a moment I thought she said "'D' as in 'doy'?" and my brain immediately started trying to optimize this problem in the wrong direction
ie not "how do I reinvent the nato alphabet from first principles" but "what phonetic alphabet would be the least helpful and create the most confusion?"

letters that sound similar when you say them out loud: B P C T D E (weak matches: Z V G)
so if you said "e as in eel" it could sound like teal, deal, eel, zeal, peel, veal
or like bog pog dog cog but that doesn't really work because the kind of colloquial ones people default to are "b as in boy, d as in dog" so even though they rhyme and have aurally similar initial plosive sounds, most people wouldn't hear them and actually think "doy and bog" because bogs aren't that important, so it wouldn't be enough to have similar auditory phonetics, it's like a tongue twister, there's a bit more to it

and that's about as far as I got before I went "wait what the fuck am I doing"

I am undefeated in the kumite with an astonish 0-0-0 record

I just feel like, if it's literally your job, it shouldn't be that hard to make your multiple choice tests so that
1) the correct answer is actually in there, instead of a wrong answer that's maybe kind of less wrong than the others

and
2) when people select the correct answer, it's marked as correct, instead of incorrect

I have a print of 'B' framed in my main hallway and my favourite thing in the world is when a new person comes into my house and asks "what's with the 'B'?"

I've had actual certificate trainings that counted towards renewing 300-1000 dollar certs have questions like "what's 16 in hexadecimal?" and it wants you to select 0xFF
