P.S. Sorry for the hijacking, and I will be having sex as soon as my SO gets home.

It wouldn't be Lit without threadjacking.

Makes me feel warm and tingly all over.

Ik weet wat je bedoelt maar de vertalen toestel is verkeerd

You can say that again....


Expressions don't always translate directly from one language to another, but Babelfish is a useful tool, nonetheless.

It reminds me of the time my husband and I and some American friends were sitting in a cafe in Brugge, Belgium. My husband was enjoying his beer and remarked "It tastes like an angel peeing on my tongue." (Alsof er een engeltje op je tong piest.) It's just a way of expressing that something tastes really good -but something was definitely lost in translation!

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for your patience.

I was teasing, sweetie.

(I don't think I've ever managed to stay on-topic for an entire thread.)

 

[tolyk]

Oh, I forgot one.. The Incredibles.. loved that one!

 

[CrazyyAngel]

Well ... back to topic. I just saw Madagascar ... its hilarious. I laughed my ass off. This lemur king was great "Lets go, meet the pansies" .

And can someone point me to more movie references in this one? I just caught the "American Beauty" and "Planet of the Apes" things ... but nothing more.

Anyways ... great movie.

How did I miss this thread? I can never resist quoting this line :

"If you have poo, throw it now."

Madagascar was definitely very good.. Pixar movies are still top of the heap for me when it comes to animated comedies, but Madagascar made me laugh, and you can't ask for more than that.. On an entirely different note, maybe I should start a thread about Saw......
