Computers. I have never tried a computer translator thing. I just rely on my rusty archetypal childhood French.

"These are the crazy frogs..." Roughly.

I know what you said, just not sure if Babelfish translated my response correctly. Sure hate to find out I said something completely rude, only partly rude would be okay though.

You can tell my 2 years of college French really stuck with me, huh? I can read a bit but not speak it at all.

I received a spam email one day (you know - the nigeria dead relative ones) that was in french. That was unusual. I gave it to one of my colleages that is French. She thought I had suddenly remembered the 5 years of french that I took and can barely remember and had become creative. Unlikely.

I gots one uh de wasted nigerian relatives ones some few years ago, and ah' had Dillbird reply sayin' he would be happy t'hide deir bre'd fo' dem, but he had some few quesshuns fust. Dey neva' wrote back. Ya' know?..

I have to go run and sample - so no time to do the dialect thing. Having dillbird reply reminded me of something Mr. Fish did. He replied to some survey or something with our dog's name (Roux). He called him Roux DeDog. That dog has received newspapers, magazines, and all sorts of junkmail and phone calls. You never know who you name will be sold to! Off to sample the fishies!

That's really funny.

I have a mental image of my dog (pictured here) sitting at the computer, looking intently at the screen, looking down at his credit card, carefully typing in the numbers... as he orders stuff online.

"Chili - put down my credit card! Get your own."

Here is an example of MP's RV comments:

Only time we evah used a dish was on our RV (rented) in France when we were tryin' t'watch th' Tour on TV while waitin' fo' th' Tour t'come by. We finally had t'ax these old Belgian firefighters whom we befriended t'he'p us. Th' book was purdy cornfusin'. An' thar was th' language barrier. An' th' pastis. All of which made climbin' on th' roof of th' RV an' gittin' th' signal right a li'l cornfusin' at fust. Once we got th' system "down" (knowin' which channel an' settin' t'be on was key) it got much easier t'put it up thar ev'ry time we stopped th' car. Varmints haf their sat TVs facin' outta their RVs thar, so eff'n yo' doesn't haf an RV, yo' kin jest walk by an' watch on someone else's TV. It is all mighty social an' fun, as enny fool kin plainly see. Th' year befo'e we didn't haf a RV/TV, an' we'd jest see th' tour hoof it by an' walked back down th' hill t'watch on someone else's RV-TV jest in time t'see th' infamous Beloki crash. Havin' jest see them live 10 minutes befo'e thet was pow'ful chillin'.
