I wish someone had hit me over the head prior to my Spanish 5 final in high school.

Next time I head up to Montreal could you swing by and take a jar of Helleman's to my head so that when I come to I'll speak perfect French-Canuck?

Fuzz, thanks for noticing. I was hoping someone would comment about that.

Anonymous, I did leave you with a quote - translated. The link to my older post about this strange disorder is more factual. That was about a lady that had a VERY SPECIFIC British accent, not a stupid fake one like Kevin Coster as Robin Hood or Renee Zellweigger in her Diaries movies.

How did some lady from a hick town in Atlanta speak a very accurate dialect of British English???

A great story but what in tar-nation did he say? Leave us with some quotes or questions he asked. That would help determine perhaps the origins of his english skill. He spoke english in a prior lifetime and retains it in his consciousness. It's beyond his ability to reference it, but retained nonetheless. The crash shook things up (from a consciousness standpoint) just as his recovery once again concealed things.

BTW, Great title.

I really need to learn Spanish but I really don't need to learn it that bad.

I've been so busy lately I haven't visited in a while. Today I caught up. The last few posts are great!

Mr. Shife- I decided to perform a partial lobotomy on myself about a week ago in order to forget the '07 season. I posted somewhere else today that, in almost 50 years of being a Cards fan, this has been the toughest season to endure. I can only imagine what it's been like for the team itself.

Hmm interesting stories here. If I ever have this unfortunate thing happen I would like to come to with an Aussie accent.

Well, if that's all it takes to learn another language, excuse me while I go hit my head.

Just catching up after vacation ...

This is amazing to me. It also explains why I often break into "G'Day, mate" rants.

That is pretty funny. I wish someone would hit me over the head so I can forgot about this year's Cardinals baseball team, and just remember last year's World Series.

2007-09-19T09:51:00.000-05:00

That's crazy! These bonk-on-head speak-another-language stories really get me. It sounds like the type of "cures" they performed in the Victorian era.

2007-09-19T08:43:00.000-05:00

It shits me to tears to think (as an Australian, especially) that the English are engrained in us all. I'm sorry, excuse me while I go break something from Britain.

One night in Reynosa, I began speaking perfect Spanish, ( after 6-8 shots ). Si ?

I'm currently learning Spanish. Maybe I should have someone bash me in the head with something in order to make me fluent in Spanish.
Head injuries are indeed complex. My dad fell on his job at a construction site several years ago. He had a head injury, and it really knocked him silly for a long time. We noticed differences in his ability to process things. Over time, he returned to normal.

"Hopefully I can pick English up over the winter for the start of next season so I'll be able to speak it without someone having to hit me over the head first."

You do have to admire his sense of humor about the accident.

Could we market that instead of The Rosetta Stone system?
