So, I was talking to my brother last night and he told me something I just could not believe.

I think most of you here are familiar with Bob Dylan, but if you aren't or are fuzzy, you might want to do a quick check on him if this blog is going to make any sense.

So apparently, Dylan has been approached by several car companies to be the voice of their navigational systems. And it's true.

I'm gonna let that sink in for a minute, and if it still doesn't strike you as odd, you may need a refresher on what exactly Bob Dylan sounds like. And believe it or not, he is more understandable when he sings. Trying to get what he is saying when talking is another thing altogether.

Now maybe it's because I've been unconsciously brainwashed by the love my father has for the guy, but I respect Bob Dylan, even think a couple of his songs are quite ingenious. But do I want him to be the one telling me where to go on an isolated road one dark night?

Hell no. The man is incoherent, at best.

I feel it in my bones that a very possible scenario would go along these lines:

Dylan GPS: Well, ya wanna take a right on sdfjhsuyalkd..fusiuhf, and then follow the fork from there into sdugtfsiudfgbkjh. Keep an eye out for asguasuifti.

Red Robin: *in her car, shouting frantically at the GPS as she encroaches a fork in the road* Turn what in the where? What?! *dies in the fiery inferno that was once her car*

Dylan GPS: The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind...

The navigation system would of course be indestructible and still be going on strong.

End scene.

Thoughts?

Personally, I've want James Earl Jones as a GPS narrator.
But Bob singing, that's interesting.

Telvisnostic: That would be incredible--Darth Vader giving out directions to the mall between raspy breaths. XD



Lady Inque: I never even use mine. -_-

I think you're right on the mark with how it's going to sound.

If he sang it might work. I'm not sure if I should laugh at the GPS, yep that not your imaginary self dying though.

Thats not that bad. My navigator has Ozzy Osbourne's voice and its not that bad.
... Needless to say, I am dead, but my death really wasnt that bad, BAM and its over.

Why not have Mushmouth from Fat Albert as an air traffic controller while we're at it. thats a horrible idea but i guess fans of his would dig it. late .

Lady Inque: LOL, still more than me at any rate.


HistoryLover: My warped mind gets it right sometimes, haha.


DancingBeatle: Him singing...maybe. LOL, I'm glad my death--even imagined--doesn't inspire laughter.

NotDario: You are sh*$#ing me! Ozzy Osbourne? That is worse. Good to know death is nice and gentle.



Marwash: Exactly. My father is one of those people too. We just bought him Dylan singing regular old Christmas songs for Christ's sake, and he thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, whereas before he could barely tolerate the carols.

Lol no I dont really have a n Ozzy Osborne navigator. But my dad's TomTom as this setting where Darth Vader can give you directions. And when you arrive at your destination he says You're path to the dark side is complete. The first time we used it we were going to church so that was funny : P

Hey, it's better than Gilbert Godfrey. Just imagine if it was Fran Drescher. You'd want to run your car into a shoulder barrier.

its more fun to get lost with your family screaming at eachother XD. then you can record all of it and use as blackmail later
Posted Nov 7, 2009 9:29 pm PT

NotDario: LOL, now I can't tell if you're joking, but that would be hilarious. Damn you, internet, and your inability to capture tone!



Maxximus Prime: *shudders* As much as I like the Nanny, I would have to agree. Like nails on a chalkboard. Gilbert Godfrey I think I would get a kick out of. Who doesn't want directions to Agrabah from Iago?



ShadowySeal: Oh, trust me, I have enough of that to last a lifetime. There were once thirteen of us--half of whom did not speak English--wandering the streets of Harlem in a van. At night.

I kinda thought whole saying I'm dead thing would be enough of a hint
Posted Nov 9, 2009 3:05 pm PT
Not Dario: ...have I mentioned that accounting has rendered me brain-dead?
Posted Nov 12, 2009 12:36 pm PT
LOL thanks for sharing this!
Posted Nov 12, 2009 1:37 pm PT
The Darth Vader thing wasnt joking though that really happend
Posted Nov 12, 2009 3:18 pm PT
NawfalQ: My pleasure.

NotDario: O_O LOL

Just pray that the radio plays unforgettable tunes these days instead of ear-worm worthy music that distracts you from your task. XD
