Lost In Translation

Me (singing): ♫ Savez-vous planter les choux? À la mode? À la mode? Savez-vous planter les choux à la mode de chez nous? ♫
Dave: That song doesn't make any sense!
Me: It's stupid; sure.
Dave: No, it doesn't make any sense. Translate it.
Me: OK. "Do you know how to plant cabbages they way we do it around here."
Dave: À la mode?
Me: The way.
Dave: No, Jen. With ice cream.

Faux Francais

QBS Radio has been the bane of my existance until now. QBS does not have a proper website so I will explain here that 30% of daily programming is in French. That has made for some fun times in the car on the way home from work. I have taken some notes of things that Dave has said in response to the French RJ:

C'est un marrionade.

Ce n'est pas un cheval; c'est un soixante!

and my favourite:

C'est un "onh onh!" c'est un "eeee eeee!"
