Peggy Babcock

I got a great laugh out of spouse last night. We were watching tv and the name "babcock" came up and Serge made a crack about what a weird name it was. I told him it wasn't a weird name, my next door neighbors when I was growing up had that name and of course there's the most difficult tongue twister to say, the simple girl's name "Peggy Babcock". Serge didn't believe it was difficult to say and started to try. I wrote the name down on a paper so he could practice and then I grabbed the camera. Unfortunately, the video is very dark. However, it still makes me laugh helplessly. It's also a bit long, but if you're up for a laugh, go ahead and watch the video here.

After that I asked him to try a couple of other simple but common tongue twisters. This one is a bit lighter and also shorter. Hope you get a chuckle out of it. I sure did.

Peggy got bad cock. LOL. I guess I never expected Serge to have such an accent. He sure is cute.

How bizarre that there is another vid on youtube where people are stumbling over Peggy Babcock.

Spill it. How many martinis did you have before playing this little tongue twisting game?

This sounds insulting (good intro, huh?) but I seriously love to hear grown men giggle.

How cruel you are to Spouse! But what a hoot!!!

What did you drink for dinner? But seriously, what a cute accent. I'm sure Serge wouldn't agree with the cute aspect though. Made me giggle too.

Were you guys drunk or high or something?

I enjoyed the interaction between the two of you. It's evident there's a lot of love and enjoyment of each other's companionship in your household. You guys are so lucky to have each other.

What a hoot! I couldn't help but laugh along. And Serge sure is a cutie.

Now that is precious and definitely a keeper! You were being very kind with your choices, you could have tried the:
"rubber-baby-buggy-bumper" Hell, I can barely say it the first time!;)
Thanks for the smile this morning.

What is so hard to say about Betty Padlock? I mean Crebbie Badcop? No, I mean Abbie Crablock?
Here is an annoucement: The Seancey Family wish to annouce the birth of their blessed baby daughter. She wieghed: 6 lbs. 3 ozs. Is 24 inches long. The little bundle of joy has been named Nancy Ann. ( I doubt that she will ever be able to sit still) (It seems she has ants in her pants) So much fun to say, no? Nancy Ann Seancey! Ed

Did you accidentally leave out of the story the fact that you and Serge had enjoyed several large margeritas prior to this filming? Too funny!

Mark :-)

I do love to hear you laugh. Both of you.

I had to wait all day to get home and watch that with sound. How cute is your partner? And how cute are the two of you together?

It would be only fair, though, if he did the same thing to you in French.

There's a character on Arrested Development named Bob Loblaw. Your video just reminded me of that. Bob Loblaw's law blog. Try saying that three times.

I second butch, laverne and everyone who thinks Serge is cute.
Next time you're, um, in your cups as it were, please drag out the camera again, turn the lights on this time, and make him say "rubber baby buggy bumpers" until you're both too silly to continue.
