Mondegreen of the Moment: "Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela."
Language of the Moment: Vietnamese. With all the Sinitic loanwords and grammatical similarities to Chinese, I figure it's like getting a bonus language for free, right? If only the orthography weren't so wacked, the North-South dialectal differences weren't so pronounced, and the vocabulary words would stick in my head a little better.
Hero of the Moment: aadroma for taking his brother to a straight strip club and trying to scam some sugar for himself! (I've done the first, but I didn't have the big brassy ones to attempt the second.)
Yes and no. There are three tone diacritics, but arguably there are only three phonemic tones which, when combined with two tone registers, give one a total of six register complexes (or five if you're a Southerner who merges the ngã and hỏi tones).
