I like to think I would do OK if I was immersed in the language. Living where it is spoken all the time.

Er, uh... I can make pretty decent twice-baked potatoes. <-- [translated from all those languages I've never learned and can't dance to]

Dancing is better when you can understand the song. I have tried to dance to songs in languages I don't speak, I think I did okay.

Saw an ad for a language course in Norway or Sweden. It had a couple in a car with their young daughters in the back. They are all enjoying the music of a song, smiling, happy. But the English lyric was basically "I want to ___ you in the ass."

Oops.

Generally, the farther north you go in Europe, the better the populace is at speaking English. This may only apply to Scandinavia and Western europe though. I only have personal experience with Benelux, the Nordics and Germany. and U.K. and Ireland of course.

and Malta is pretty good at English. It is one of their national languages

Quis, I've seen that ad and it's hilarious.

I can only imagine how much of the Brazilian pop I listen to is putting me in the same role as the smiling, oblivious parents.

I like the condom ad that has a little boy playing with 2 Barbie dolls. The father is upset about that and tries to give him 2 soldier action figures to play with. Later the father finds the soldier action figures on the floor and the boy sleeping with the 2 dolls. The scene morphs into the boy as a teenager and sleeping with 2 blonde girls. he gets up, doesn't find his condoms. He goes into the kitchen to find his father in a robe sitting at the table with 2 real life versions of the soldier action figures.

When we were little kids, an older cousin gave us his old G.I. Joe with the scruffy facial hair. We liked having him hang out with Barbie and Skipper because IRL our Dad had facial hair, too.

I like maintining about 2 days' worth of stubble.

I've been not shaving on the weekends, but I find the stubble annoys me.

As long as you don't forget to post on weekends.

It sure takes Quis a long time to not shave.

It takes me all day to not shave.

It's quite a commitment.

in for a penny in for a pound

The Commitments was a novel, then a film and now a musical. You just can't go wrong with a soundtrack that good.

I used to be amazed when a movie was made into a musical and then they made a movie of the musical.

What songs would make it into Legion World: The Musical?

I'd love it if life were more like a musical. Everyone bursts in to song for no apparent reason and they all know the choreography.

When I worked at the bank, I pictured the teller line as being perfect for that.

Now I have chorus line music playing in my head.

One! Singular sensation
Every little step she takes
One! Thrilling combination
Every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody
Else! Will! Do!
You know you'll never be lonely with
You! Know! Who!


Someday song lyrics will kill this thread.

I guess they have to be really bad song lyrics

Or really good ones that will leave people in awe for 24 hours.

Because people will just be singing along
