Really, I haven't decided if I like it... RSS

I like to sit on the fence and watch.

Jack Johnson’s Mellow Show!? Why has this never been thought of before? Brilliant! SNL made a hilarious comeback with the wonderful energy of Joseph Gordon-Levitt after that painful episode with January Jones, who has about as much personality as your elementary school bus driver (no personality, that is). And thanks for impersonating a perfect Jason Mraz, Mr. Gordon-Levitt! You made my weekend.

Oh but it has, Kasia, it has!  It’s been a while since they did it first, though.  I’ll look for it.

Merlin, grand voyageur

  • Merlin : En Afrique, c'est comme ça qu'on les mange les clémentines.
  • Maman : Ha bon ? Tu en sais des choses sur les coutumes africaines.
  • Merlin : Bah oui ! J'ai fait le tour du monde, tu t'en souviens plus ?!
  • Maman : Ha si ! C'est vrai. Et c'est dans quel pays d'Afrique qu'on mange les clémentines comme ça alors ?
  • Merlin : En Inde.

iaminlikewithmybike: insooutso: I’m not big on the fixed-gear scene. In fact, I rather enjoy my gears. But this Pilen Concept bike is fucking beautiful. Pilen concept is a race bike inspired by early Le Mans style, the concept is supposed to create a sentimental bond with the user and also give them the same feeling as if they were driving a sports car. This concept is developed for the Swedish bike brand Pilen cykel in Målilla. Want!

Put an end once and for all to this discussion of what a good person should be, and be one.

Marcus Aurelius (via bunkercomplex)

This reminds me of a scene in Life of Brian.  Unfortunately, I’m unable to find that scene on youtube.  Sucks for you!

Silly French slang

capucha:

daniiiii:

I just found the Hide This French book book.  I don’t remember every buying it, but here it is anyway.  Here are some of the funnier translations.  Is it accurate?

Je lui ai roulé un patin.
I french kissed him.
Literally: I rolled a skate to him.

On a pris notre pied.
We had a good time.
Literally: We took our foot.

Il est  une grande folle.
He is gay.
Literally: He is a big crazy woman.

Il y a du monde au balcon.
She has big boobs.
Literally: The balcony is crowded.

J’adore ça! A mon avis, ça devrait être correct, mais suis pas tout à fait au courant de l’argot français. Ceci me fait penser à un livre que Mary Anne m’a offert il y a 10 ans sur l’argot Cockney rimant. Encore une fois: j’adore!

Last one is my fave.

There’s also a variant to “Je lui ai roulé un patin”/ “I french kissed him”

“Je lui ai roulé une pelle”, literally : I rolled him a shovel.

Y a du monde au balcon is my favorite.  So is the variant: Il y a du monde au balcon, et pas mal à la cave, non plus.  (And not bad in the cellar, either.)
