Does anyone speak Esperanto

Weren't we all supposed to be flying around in cars and speaking this by 2000?

English became the new Esperanto by default.

What the hell is Esparanto?

Sounds like the Spanish word for hope...

I thought it was just us Europeans that this language was aimed at? After all it was just supposed to be an easy to learn (yeah right!) mix of various Euro zone languages.

I believe more people actually speak fluent Klingon than Esperanto, I can't figure out if that's good or bad!

Wasn't Esperanto a song by the Eagles?

I am sure there is still an office of esperanto at the UN being funded with a few million dollars a year.

Actually it's kind of pathetic.

Most cities have little clusters of people who spent years learning this language and who now meet - like AA or Toastmasters - in church basements every few weeks just to keep it up.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey

The Federal Highway comission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Canyonero!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

Drive Canyonero!

Woah Canyonero!

Woah!

Maybe someday we'll be speaking Esperanto while we are buying things with our Ameros.
