Grammar Quiz

Just a few comments before I give you my blogger grammar quiz.

I taught tonight. It was fun and my students are brilliant. There's no one who I find really attractive though - except for a 21 year old Brazilian guy. But then aren't Brazilian guys always f-ing hot? I probably find him attractive, simply because he's Brazilian and speaks Portuguese. Maybe it's because I've watched too many Kristian Bjorn porno videos so my objectivity is deluded. But so many Brazilian men seem to have an inborn sexiness, a comfortableness with their own body and an engaging flirtatious charisma. Brazilian men have an odd dichotomy - they flirt with men, but are also macho and homophobic. They're willing to play with guys, but only so far. Yum.

On the FoodTv channel, I saw an episode in which the chef went to Brazil and took viewers on a food-tasting trip. Most of the food looked revolting. I wouldn't be able to eat most of it - whole baby fish with all their body parts dipped in flour then deep fried. Disgusting soups made of unidentifiable animal parts, including organ meats and brain matter. Yeck. But all the men from Brazil looked hot!

Anyway, here's the Gramma Quiz. Answers will appear tomorrow.
