˙˙00˙ ˙00˙01˙03˙01The Flowers of Eden˙00 ˙ ˙ ˙03˙02PUH / AGONY ˙01˙01˙00˙ ˙In Jurassic Pack issue five, FiShWaVe suggested that I wouldn't be able to correct his language if he wrote in German. He was right; I don't know German, and I could not understand a word of what he wrote. Tobias Jansson, though, does, and he read it out loud to me AND did a smaller correction as for the spelling. I'm not the one to give any free scores to FiShWaVe, but I figured that since I am such a nice person, I could as well give him the opportunity to correct me at least once in his glorious life. Here are, accordingly, what I can say in German (and what I say to Germans when I meet them). I don't really know what many of the phrases below mean, but then, who cares? It may be that my translations are wrong, or that the sentences totally lack meaning, but then, who has read German, anyway? In Sweden it is generally accepted that German is read by the weak high school students and French by the eager. Do I have to say that I have forgotten all of my French (and then I did not learn much in the first place). I have, though, spent some time in Germany, and since my brother is an exchange student, we have some German dudes at home now and then. Thus, here's what I can tell them if I feel like it: ˙ ˙˙02Wilche Heilpflanche ist das?˙01 What herb of healing is that? ˙02Ich bien der Fuchs auf das Spur!˙01 I'm tracking down the foxes! ˙02Du bist auch ein Luegner, unt Du wirst gehen zy Hölle fur Deine Luge!"˙01 You are a simple liar, and the flames of hell will eat you.

Hope it isn't offensive...) ˙02Wie gaben dem Polizist vier Mark Trinkgeld˙01 We bribed the cops ˙02Wir gaben dem Kellner vier der Polizist˙01 We turned the waitress over to the police ˙02Puh, der ist aber schick!˙01 Puh, you are looking good today! ˙02Jemand hat meine Zug gestohlen˙01 Somebody hi-jacked the train ˙02- FiShWaVe, wen hast Du gestern am Bahnhof abgeholt? - Meinen Freund. ˙01- FiShWaVe, who are you waiting for here at the station? - My girlfriend. ˙02Der Feuerwehrmann kletterte Schnell die leiter hinauf˙01 The fire fighter threw himself down the ladder with his head first ˙02sich das Bein brechen˙01 (no idea) ˙02Der Jugend hat sich beim Skifahren die Haare gebrochen˙01 The young man broke his leg when he was skiing ˙02Du musst mir glauben˙01 Please, believe me, this is no joke! ˙02Darff ich hier rauchen?˙01 Do you mind my smoking or what? ˙02Mir ist scheusslich zumute˙01 Space cruiser Mir is in a bad shape ˙02Das ist keinen Pfenning wert˙01 Nothing to waste money on ˙02Luzern liegt in der Schweiz˙01 The laser beam was invented in Switzerland ˙02Der Zahnarzt ist mit hubschrauber angekommen˙01 The politician went there in an extreme hurry (?) ˙02Da sind Sie ja, Herr Weber!˙01 Don't say yes when I said no, Mr. Weber! ˙02- Hast Du SeenPoint geläschen? - Doch, ich ärgere mich sehr daruber. ˙01- Have you read the latest SeenPoint? -Yes, and I was upset by it. ˙02Der Kapttän weigerte sich das Schiff zu verlassen˙01 The captain of the ship refused to (?) give away the cargo ˙02die Mutze˙01 mouse, mice ˙02SeenPoint entspricht nicht meinen Erwartungen ˙01My expectations on the next SeenPoint issue are low ˙˙01
