Hobbes - cartoon connection ??

Kinda makes you sad that you just cant be happy for long before something comes along and tries to ruin it.
 
Killing the messenger? Not a very nice thing to do. Go jump in a thunderbolt and fly and fly and fly, until you get to the jump and the kilrathi come thruogh and there is lots of fireworks and then....

well, we all know how that one ends....:)

C'est beau ce que tu dis... :)

Arrr! How can I delete whole posts after I posted them? Because I posted sth stupid, then wanted to delete it via "Edit/Del" but it seems that I must write sth now.
So, uh, um, eh... very nice Zor Prime!

Well, duh! Erm, I shouldn't have said that... erm delete! Erm, can't do it. Oh darn, I'll never be able to face the shame...
 
Well perhaps Quarto, you would care to give me some French lessons? :)
After all, I have only lived in France for 10 years... :p
 
Nonono, your French is of course correct (and I sure as hell wouldn't notice if it was wrong ;)). But your translation, while gistically correct (yes, I know - gistically is not a word... but you get the gist :)), was not in fact literally correct, as you claimed it to be.

By litteral, I meant word-by-word, my fault sorry...
The above translation is the "word-by-word understandable English" translation.

Here's what the "just word-by-word" English translation gives:

C'est beau ce que tu dis...
It is beautiful what that you say...

For comparison, Altavista gives the following:
It is beautiful what you say...

See? :)

I did say I was being picky - so you've had fair warning :).
