On parle francais ici

Vive l'Emperor. Comment?

Is this Nappy's birthday or something? Or do you just want to show off?

No hablo espa?ol, gringo.

J'ai parl? fran?ais, mais ils sont des l?ches et ils puent.

Русско?

I would welcome an intelligent debater with GL regarding the French empire and Napoleon. Not some flame war, but you know, something with a lot of intelligence.

I've tried arguing the Union position for years with Trav, but everytime I do, when I wake up the next morning someone has spray-painted the likeness of George McClellan on my front door...

Ah yes, "Little Mac" who, had he marched and engaged the enemy when Lincoln ordered him to do so, may have ended the war right at the start. He should have been court martialed.

I'll have the french dip with a side of french fries and maybe a french chew. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

Je parle un petit peu de Francais, may il faut ecrire tres lentment... [img]redface.gif[/img]

Wow I had no idea we had two Francophiles on this board.

Though I must confess it doesn't really do anything for me to hear it come from either GL or Lan. Not like it would if Segolene were smacking me across the face and calling me "scum" (in French, of course).

Gae is useless in this area. I went over there one night (I had no idea Trav was in England at the time, I thought he'd be there) and I had one of those English-French dictionaries, and I was trying to get Gae to tell me, in French, that she's a "tamer of men." As it turned out, what she was really telling me was "cats don't have knees."

Vrai. Les chats n'ont pas des genoux.

And get it straight, Lewbaby. It was IRELAND, not England.

Je prefer les chiens, parce que ils sont plus agreables. Et aussi, les chats sont trop independents por moi.

Gary n'est pas le seul qui peut parler le fran?ais.

Non, j'ai le meme chien, Bandit. Je n'avois un 2iem chien.

What the hell, I feel like I'm in the press box at a Canadiens game...

When God created donkeys, he gave them the choice of speaking donkey or speaking French. The donkeys chose to speak French.

Alright, Francophiles, can anyone translate the Electric Light Orchestra for me?

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.

Here ya go, Lewbaby:

Συζεύξεις έχετε τις reve Syzey'xejs σας εσύ έχετε reve σας πότε βλέπετε το καράβι σας να φύγετε πότε εσύ sents καρδιά σας να σπάστε τις συζεύξεις έχετε reve σας.

(Not Russian.)

This is a bit of a thread jack, but what the hell, I'm a moderator.

Recently Erin was sitting on the tarmac on a flight from Charleston, SC to Seattle when one of the flight attendants asked if anyone spoke Russian.

Erin responded (loudly, which is SO unlike her [img]wink.gif[/img] ) дет проблемой?.

Immediately she was the offical Delta translator for a Russian couple, one of whom was having a medical emergency. Erin's Russian is passable, but like most of us who know more than one language, there's a lot that is not in her vocabulary. When she got to the point of not understanding, she ran back to her seat, grabbed her cell and called her friend, a native Russian. Got Inga on the phone to tanslate the technical parts and passed on the word that the Russian woman had simply had a panic attack and didn't need a doctor.

Let's all give thanks that Erin was not detained by the DHS for bering a terrorist.

Delta's reward to Erin: Extra peanuts. Oh, and the secret Pringles they keep in the galley.

You know, Gae, that's fine if I'd asked when the next Trans-Siberian express leaves for Vladivostok. But I wanted GL to translate Jeff Lynne for me.

However, I did not know that Erin spoke Russian. I know our mutual friend spoke with her not long ago, I'm going to ask her to have Erin call me and, in Russian, tell me she's a "tamer of men."

I had french toast for breakfast yesterday! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

And, I had a guiness with fish and chips for dinner too!

pretty darn tasty stuff!

GL is BUSY right now. You'll hear from him sometime. When he isn't so BUSY!! (Email me if you want details.)

Y'all need to run to Kroger RIGHT NOW and get whatever you need to sustain yourselves. Erin is going to France in June, and I'm sure we'll have an international incident.

And just so you know, LewBaby, Erin has Russian, French, Turkish and Thai. She's also BUSY, so here you go:

Укрощает людей.

He started his new job today!
Congrats again GL!

"And just so you know, LewBaby, Erin has Russian, French, Turkish and Thai."


Two words- that's hot.

Isn't she on a Dept. of Homeland Security Watch List for learning Russian?

Lan, she and the other two learned Russian at my knees, way back in the day.

Oh I don't deny you there, Trav. My only point was, it's so hot to hear a chick speak French.

And I'm sorry to say, but Russian is not not. It sounds like their mouths are wired shut and they can't open them. The only this worse is when you're in Israel, they sound like they're spitting on you when the talk.

I'm not kissing-up to Sean Pa, but I love to hear Brits talk. Eddie Izzard, Elton John, Bob Hoskins....those guys kick ass. Well, verbally that is.

I dig accents! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
