Funk
Oooh...yeah...
Shake your booty.
Get down-n-get groovy.
Check this out.
Funk
Can you play that, white boy?
Uh-huh.
Move it or lose it, honey.
I have to wonder what the Turks think this notebook says. English is taught in schools here, but most kids wouldn't have a clue what this says. Their English would be more along the lines of "what is your name?" and "where are you from?" They would probably understand both of the words in the phrase "white boy". I can't imagine what they think when they read those words. Both white and boy are words in their vocabulary lists for English class. Many English speaking adults wouldn't know words like funk, booty, or groovy much less the phrases "get down" or "move it or lose it". And honey...well of course they know what that is. It's what bees produce...translated into Turkish it would be bal. What must they be thinking? A picture of a guitar with words that say something about a white boy who must like honey.

Best. Notebook. Ever.
At least it is somewhat grammatically correct. There are four true sentences there, which is more than I can say for other "cool" covers I've seen.
P.S. I deleted the first comment I typed because of a typo, and teachers aren't allowed to make typos!

ms. morton - i find it amusing that you are ms. morton this time. how many blogger id's do you have? i agree...it is better than some. at least it makes sense. that says something!
heyjoe - i know...i know. you aren't the only one who gets deleted. well...you are the only one i've deleted. but you are behaving yourself quite nicely i must say!

Dang. I'm laughing so hard there's pee coming out of my eyes.
"Play that funky music, white boy!"
jay - i had to google the new guy because i had no idea what you were talking about. now brian wants to see that movie.
theresa - i know...i giggle just thinking about how ridiculous this notebook really is.
gina - my thoughts exactly.
I'm just thinking you probably shouldn't ever send Brian to the store again.
becky - well...you're probably right. but we did all get a good laugh over it!
