Chance Meeting with Chomsky

Approximately one year ago I was meandering the streets of Disney World, when I met a man who looked like the amazing Noam Chomsky. I really like Noam, just to let you know. I approached this suspicious look-a-like and began to talk with him. Then, I mentioned some linguistic theory just to test the waters. At first he seemed to be quite knowledgeable in the field. However, he quickly took a drastic turn. In the next instant I found this man flailing his arms in the middle of the street. "Get out of the new world if you can't lend a hand!" he shouted. I tried to inconspicuously leave the situation, but he grasped my shoulder. Being helpless, I felt hopeless. Suddenly he released me from the vice-like grip all too familiar to Holden Caulfield during the days at Pencey when he mega-battled Stradlater. Once free, I ran. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I'm quite a fan of Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn :)

But that's more based on my political and social leanings than anything to do with Disney.

I think he is that mean little smerf-like chef from the Ratatouille movie, or the food critic, I can't remember which.

That might explain me not knowing who he is if he is in Ratatouille.I have yet to see that but it is on my list of soon to buy dvd's.

I've moved this to chit chat as WDW has become incidental to the topic. ;) Just remember the ban on politics, please. Otherwise, all of you linguists can have fun debating Dr Chomsky's theories. :wave: Others can discuss strange encounters with notable/famous/unusual people.

And the rest of you can discuss....whatever. :lol:

Is a "linguist" a person who enjoys linguine? If so... count me in! :slurp:
