   THR fantastic resonant voice. How about a regular GrodsThink segment “THR says stuff in French”?

   If THR sounds anything like Jean Reno, I’ll swoon.

    Can I just clarify that comment number twelve was directed towards Bron and not EC.

    
    
14.   Bron (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 10:13 pm) # 

    That’s Monseiur Ed to you, EC.

    
    
15.   The Editor (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 10:14 pm) # 

    And that comment eight is a quote from the classic (sic) fillum Cabin Boy.

    Sez Google Translate:

    Please put in my tramp Fleshlumière

    You have a tramp? Did you get him off the street?

    Sur le pont d’Avignon, tout le monde something or other.

    Did you guys have that Eclair series when you were learning French at school? With PMF?

    
    
23.   The Editor (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 10:24 pm) # 

    I went to a public school. I didn’t even learn English.

    
    
24.   Bron (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 10:25 pm) # 

    #21 - that’s a shocking translation, Ed. Google is not your friend.

    WTF is the Eclair series, Jeremy? Not a lolly, I take it.

    
    
25.   Bron (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 10:27 pm) # 

    Hmmm, I thought “clochard” meant “bum”, but Babel Fish is also bringing up “tramp”.

    
    
26.   Bron (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 10:29 pm) # 

    Le plume de ma tante est sur la table = The feather of my aunt is on the table?!

    Camarades de bonne nuit. ED aucune clarification requise. Aucune idée si le poisson de Babel fait avec le Français décent ici.

    
    
28.   Jeremy (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 11:05 pm) # 

    “Eclair” was what we had before “Ca Bouge”. It was a french course for young high school kids, and it was shit house. All I can remember from it was that it had some weird flying robot called PMF. I do not know why.

    Peut etre nous should complete le remainder des comments dans cette post du blog dans le franglais atroche.

    Next we should move onto the Latin.

    Colono, ergo blog.

    
    
32.   Jeremy (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 11:52 pm) # 

    Wouldn’t it be “colono, ergo bog”?

    
    
33.   Damian (Wednesday 9 April 2008, 11:58 pm) # 

    “Colono, ergo blog.” Tee hee.

    I enjoyed this week’s chinwag. Ant and Jeremy on climate change were especially good. Noice.

    Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe de la tour ?
    Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe des cieux ?
    Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe amoureux ?

    and

    Je Ne t’aime plus, mon amour.

    That’s all I know in French that I actually know the meaning of. I can sing in French, but I can’t speak it, much.

    You’ve broken his heart, Bron. He was desperate for you to rate his, erm, base against your wide experience of bases of various sizes.

    
    
41.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 11:45 am) # 

    My wide experience?

    ARE YOU CALLING ME A … A … What are you calling me?

    
    
42.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 11:45 am) # 

    Surname, :)

    Ja.

    
    
43.   keri (Thursday 10 April 2008, 11:48 am) # 

    Bron, I believe it would be “dame de la nuit”

    
    
44.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 11:51 am) # 

    “Injury of the night”.

    WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT, KERI?!

    
    
45.   keri (Thursday 10 April 2008, 11:53 am) # 

    Dame is lady, is it not?

    Now I remember why I stick to singing it, not speaking it.

    
    
46.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 11:57 am) # 

    I prefer “femme fatale”, if you don’t mind.

    
    
47.   Ant Rogenous (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:01 pm) # 

    And Terry prefers “femme fraiche”.

    
    
48.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:19 pm) # 

    Hehehe, that’s good, Ant.

    Totally off-topic: anyone been to Chicago in recent years? Any hotel recommendations?

    
    
49.   Bridgit Gread (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:22 pm) # 

    Yes I believe they have one.

    
    
50.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:26 pm) # 

    Bridgit, this is your first warning.

    Hang on, where am I again?

    
    
51.   The Editor (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:46 pm) # 

    Work or pleasure, Bron?

    
    
52.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:53 pm) # 

    Is that a trick question, Mr The?

    Pleasure. But of course.

    
    
53.   The Editor (Thursday 10 April 2008, 12:59 pm) # 

    Well, la-de-da! Don’t some of us have the disposable cash to just dash off for a spot of sightseeing whenever we feel like it?

    I want a tea towel. We collect daggy tea towels from around the world.

    
    
54.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 1:05 pm) # 

    OK, I’ll open up a new document, headline it “DAGGY GIFTS FOR DAGGY PEOPLE” and start keeping a list of requests.

    I promise you, you will get a tea towel. Come a year’s time and you’ll get a tea towel in your letterbox (the original - that is, snail mail). You’ll open it and think, What the fuck?!

    Remember this date. 10 April 2008.

    Now, who wants a “I <3 NY” teeshirt or keyring?

    Because I’m not buying it.

    
    
55.   The Editor (Thursday 10 April 2008, 1:11 pm) # 

    Thanks, Bron. I’ll have one from each city you visit if it’s not too much trouble. Don’t worry about the shirts or keyrings for me because we don’t collect those.

    
    
56.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 2:10 pm) # 

    Gee, you don’t ask for much, do you?

    Las Vegas - Portland - Seattle - Vancouver BC - Havre - St Paul/Minneapolis - Chicago - Joliet (signed by Jake & Elwood) - Buffalo - NYC - Baltimore/Towson.

    I think I’ll need a cash advance.

    
    
57.   The Editor (Thursday 10 April 2008, 2:12 pm) # 

    Nah, just kidding. A postcard might be nice, though. I’ll scan it into Grods — just like PostSecret.

    
    
58.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 2:18 pm) # 

    YOU WERE NOT JOKING. You never joke.

    Postcard is manageable. I collect postcards. I could send you one now, if you like!

    
    
59.   The Editor (Thursday 10 April 2008, 2:20 pm) #

    That’s right, I went there. Doris Day is convulsing in her grave and it’s all your fault, Bridgit.

    
    
64.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 3:43 pm) # 

    Noted.

    Ant, any idea what Bridgit might like me to bring back? (Come on, this is your chance for revenge)

    
    
65.   Bron (Thursday 10 April 2008, 3:44 pm) # 

    …bring back for her, that is.

    I’m not the vengeful type, Bron. Don’t bring the bitch anything.

    
    
67.   Bridgit Gread (Thursday 10 April 2008, 5:08 pm) # 

    Fuck you, Ant. If you were any kind of man you’d know that Doris Day isn’t dead.

    
    
68.   Ant Rogenous (Thursday 10 April 2008, 6:29 pm) # 

    Meh, at 84 she’s close enough.

    Anyway, I thought we’d already established that I wasn’t any kind of man.
