(H/W) Moments of ordinary insanity
Act I: Everything started when nakannalee, beta-ing my translation of Hit the Cripple's second chapter, wrote:
«House,» he called him. «House, what’s up?» [“what’s up” sounds slightly ooc for Wilson; too young and informal; I think “what’s wrong” would work better here]
Act II: Then I felt obliged to reply, with my famous and beloved sense of humour and my total ignorance of English grammar:
That "What's up?" you changed in "What's wrong?" nearly killed me XDDD I suddenly remembered an old tv advertising in which there were some (American, I suppose) youngsters calling each other on their phones and just vomiting those "Wosaaaaaaaap", totally meaningless. At that time I had no idea of what "Wosaaaaaap" could mean. I can't even remember what was the thing, maybe some Nike's shoes... But I figured Wilson in that role and I nearly fell from my seat XDDDDDDDDDDD
Act III: I don't know how but nakannalee managed to understand what the fuck I was talking about and answered me this way:
Ahhh! The Wazzzup?! Budweiser commercials! I loved those immensely! That's what beer commericals need: House and Wilson, slowly getting drunk on the couch, yelling, "WAZZZZUPP?!" to each other. : ) Now that is a beautiful picture!!!
Act IV: Total insanity (all by me, I'm very proud of it)
Wilson: Wazzzzup?!
House: Wazzzzup?!
Wilson: Wazzzzup?!
House: Wazzzzup?!
Wilson: ...
House: ...
Wilson: Is there any reason for us to do this thing?
House: Mmm. Just fun.
Wilson: Huh. Good.
House: ...
Wilson: ...
House: Wazzzzup?!
Wilson: Wazzzup?!
I can definitely say that lack of alcohol plays tricks on me.
