Herring Shmerring. Anyone who has ever been to one of my Sporting Event parties know that "talking out your *ss" is an accepted form of male communication.

Translation is easy
BRAAAAPPPPPPP - "Why yes I will take another beer thank you"

BRAAAAPPPPPPP - "Dam man you put too much sausage in the cheese dip"

BRAAAAPPPPPPP - "Righteous Chili Dude!"

BRAAAAPPPPPPP - "Hot Wings anyone?"

PFFFFFFFFTTTTTT - "gee I wonder whats on Lifetime"
