"We love when we play"

Thanks,

Floo

1. Babelfish says

un "certain légume" "nous aimons quand nous jouons"

[Seabiscuit]

3. Tres bien fait!

[saltpoint]

9. Hi, Seabiscuit. I tried to PM you a while back but realized --

-- to my disappointment you don't have that icon available, so I couldn't.

I wanted to offer a compliment on some postings you did. I can't be more specific without naming others who are not here, but just wanted you to know I appreciated what you had to say and how you said it.

[Seabiscuit]

10. Thanks, Old Crusoe. Maybe I can somehow reconfigure my account

here to include PM ability.

You shouldn't have too much trouble finding recent posts from me. I'm here almost every day for an hour or more.

[saltpoint]

16. I'm not always here, so that might be most of the --

-- problem.

But in this thread alone there are people whose posts I read, no matter what the topic.

(--And that includes you, Floog.--)

Keep me posted & happy trails!

[Seabiscuit]

18. Will do, and will soon try to get my PM working.

I also like Floog.

[Seabiscuit]

19. Hint: did it have anything to do with the Robert Blake verdict?

If so, I was in a bit of a crabby mood, and gave a rather nice person a bit of a hard time. She seemed to deserve it that night, but on reflection, I was a bit harsh to an otherwise nice lady. At least I've enjoyed her later posts. Perhaps the two of us were just having bad night. I do recall coming to your defense in that thread.

[saltpoint]

2. I don't know what you're up to with this, Floogeldy, but --

-- dammit, I LIKE it.

[Seabiscuit]

5. Pass the cucumber? Hide the pickle?

[Floogeldy]

14. This song popped into my head

It was like Maurice Chevalier singing Mack The Knife, but the words were like,

Soam Vey Gee Tah Blay

Nissom Dis Soule.

[saltpoint]

17. It sounds really good, actually.

This is a tune that got lodged in your head from the radio or someplace you can't trace, or do you mean you came up with the melody yourself?

Either way, I STILL like it.

[Spider Jerusalem]

4. Okay...

"Un certain légume" et "Nous aimons quand nous jouons"...

[Floogeldy]

7. Then what does "Nous sommes du soleil" mean?

Please and thank you.

Floog

[MrScorpio]

8. We're the sun

[Seabiscuit]

11. Or: We're from the sun.

[MrScorpio]

6. Try this

Un certain légume.

Nous aimons quand nous jouons.

[Floogeldy]

12. As usual, you people are the finest on the planet

Bar none!

Luv ya,

Floog

B-) :loveya:

[6000eliot]

13. I hate to nitpick

but the first one is not a sentence; it's a phrase.

[Floogeldy]

15. You are absolutely correct

And I thank you.

[Seabiscuit]

20. Can anyone try to translate this into English?

La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie

La mer
Au ciel d'¨¦t¨¦ confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer berg¨¨re d'azur
Infinie

Voyez
Pres des ¨¦tangs
Ces grands roseaux mouill¨¦s
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouill¨¦es

La mer
Les a berc¨¦s
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A berc¨¦ mon coeur pour la vie

Sorry, it's a little screwed up, but it's Kevin Kline singing a Charles Trenet song called "La Mer". for extra points, can you identify the American version and the person who sang it?

[Spider Jerusalem]

21. Okay...

The sea
which one sees dancing along the clear gulfs
to sparkles of silver.
The sea
Of changing sparkles
Under the rain.

The sea
Confuses the summer sky's sheep
With angels so pure.
The sea
Shepherdess of blue infinity.

Look!
Next to the ponds
Those tall wet reeds.
Look!
Those white birds
And those rusty houses

The Sea
Has rocked them
Along the clear gulfs.
The Sea
Has rocked my heart for life.

[Seabiscuit]

22. Wonderful! Now, for extra points,

1. Clue: it's a song; what's the song's title?

2. Who wrote it?

3. Who changed the lyrics into English and made it into an American hit song?

4. What was the name of that song?

5. What movie contained the original French lyrics?

6. Who sang the French version in that movie?

[Spider Jerusalem]

23. As far as I know, the title is "La Mer"...

don't know who wrote it, but the English version was "Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Darin.

Edit: Okay, it was written by Charles Trenet and sung by Kevin Kline (that was in your original post) :)

[Seabiscuit]

25. Bravo! Now: what was the title of the movie starring Kevin Kline?

(Sorry - I forgot I gave away some of the answers in my original post)

[Seabiscuit]

26. OK, now I'm boring you. The movie was "French Kiss".

[WMliberal]

24. Quelque crudites

et <<Nous aimons quand nous jouons>>
