SB Nation Houston Editor's Pick

Excuse me stewardess, I speak Roc Carmichael?

by StephS on May 29, 2011 2:31 PM CDT

Apparently, this is Roc Carmichael's Twitter account. Anyone know for sure?

And well, I am having a hard time with the translation. Given the Jacoby Jones scholarship over here at BRB, I figured I'd ask the experts.

WTH? And I'm afraid to ask what "BAP" and "Bappin" are. Tried to figure it out from context but it's all over the place. Given his job with the Texans, I hope it means knocking the bleep out of opponents, within the rules of course, and not to the point of penalties or league-rendered arbitrary fines and whatnot.

Thanks for your help.

That actually is Roc Carmichael's account.

And the whole “bapping” thing is based off the initials B.A.P. (Bless All People), which is the name of the foundation he wants to create once he gets signed to a contract and can afford to do so.

Although I do have to wonder, after reading his tweets, what a conversation between him and Jacoby Jones would sound like.

I think I just hurt my brain thinking about it.

I'll buy that

From context I was about to guess “Be at Peace” which is kinda-sorta like that

I'm not sure BRB can handle Jones AND Carmichael talking to one another.

The servers might melt down or something.

Maybe so

Then you would need Steph using a Mrs. Cleaver voice translation the dialog

I'd actually kicked around a version of the old "Fake Conversations Between Real People" from DGDB&D between those two.

Only I was going to do it via their twitter accounts. Still might do it. Depends on how much time I have.

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

That will test you

Might be easier to wait until they really do it…

Thank you.

Ok. That makes me feel better.

As for the conversation, I’m afraid of what might show up here. HA!

Accidentally some words there, Quinton Carter.

Capt. Nately: You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Old man in whorehouse: You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know.

Nice Airplane reference.

If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.
