DOUG: Look how cute! Beagle crossing.
GANDA: [cogs turning] Ohhhhhhhhhh......
DOUG: What?
GANDA: Beagle CROSSING.
DOUG: What do you mean?
GANDA: I never knew it was CROSSING.
DOUG: What? What did you think it was?
GANDA: Xing. [Pronounced "zing"]
DOUG: [Laughing] Zing? Zing is not a word!
GANDA: What? I just figured it was its own thing. It's painted on the streets! XING! On signs -- XING! XING, it's a word, like "traffic" or "street".
Later:
GANDA: Who is Dottie's mom?
DOUG: Christina. Or should I say Xing-stina? [Laughing]
GANDA: Ha. Ha.
I used to think Ped Xing was named after a person.
that is FOBulous. "xing" can be a name. perhaps i am the wrong person to ask... (this from the person who once saw "aching for beauty" and was like "what is 'Ah-Ching for Beauty' about?)
Ha ha.
I thought it was windSHIELD factor until late in college. as in, how hard is the wind hitting your windshield.
Ped Xing! Ah-Ching! Windshield factor!
Too funny. Thanks for making me feel like I'm in good company!
First I got stuck on the fact that somebody put up a sign about "beagle crossing." Now I just think this is the cutest post ever.
