The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for January 22, 2012

Buenos días a todos mis compañeros Crustwoodians!

Joy se ve como una ballena varada!

Mornin’ Leaky, mornin’ Crustwood. Looks like we’re the first ones here.

Tienen bolsillos cosidos en sus sillones que contienen los dulces? Estas personas necesitan una intervención!

That she does, Leaky. Yes, a great big blue whale — with a rash.

Of course they have a pouch for candy! What did you think they’d put in there? The remote? The TV Guide? Heaven forefend they should be two steps away from something with which to stuff their bloated gobs! Intervention? They need to be hauled away in handcuffs by the Cuisine Police!

Rescue her, Col Chuck? There’s no help for people like the Pennys!

Good morning, Leaky and Purple. Joy is such a rocket scientist…

Mornin’ Marg. Yeah, she’s a rocket scientist, and Burl’s a brain surgeon! snort!

@ Leaky: Lucky? Better him than me!

Как раз законченное танцы. Спокойная ночь.

“As the stomach turns”

Sorry, Col Chuck, seems I don’t have the font set to read your latest post.

And on that note, I’m going to bed. Catch you guys later in the day.

우리는 재미를 보는가 아직? 잘 자 다시.

I was checking out Joy’s thighs there. I know fer sure that she ain’t “Prime” or “Choice,” but maybe “Utility” or “Cutter” or even “Canner.” I do know we could render her out and fuel the Houston bus system for a month.

Good morning to all. Glad to see you are having such fun Leaky and friends.

Pax.

Joy’s new “call waiting” feature and her ignoring of it reminds me of the movie “The Accidental Tourist.” In it, William Hurt is visiting the world’s weirdest family and the telephone is ringing but they won’t answer it. Hurt asks them about it and David Ogden Stiers replies, “They’ll just call back if it’s important.” Delightful illogic.

Good morning Crustwood!

I see I’ve landed in the international lounge…

Joy looks even larger than usual today. Maybe the green blouse is more flattering.

That chair may have a hard time re-assuming its upright position. And of course, if it won’t, it’s “defective.”

Meanwhile….

Saya suka terjemahan internet!

svi mi možemo gledati pametan i dobro obrazovani, čak i ako je potpuno krivo.

Voinko mennä nukkumaan nyt?

Come on you guys. I have enough trouble with English.

Actually, i hate when I am trying to talk to someone and I keep getting, “Oh, someone is trying to reach me, I’ll be right back”. I usually hang up if they are gone more than 30 seconds.

Stop the world let me off!

I didn’t go to Mexico……………..I visited Peru and went sailing on Lake Titicaca.

C’mon folks, Spanish is OK (I understand that, but I just awoke and I can’t be bothered to go to one of those translation websites). Besides, I’m still mad at Leaky for disparaging the wind chimes; good chimes are really enchanting. I bought one called “Lark” and it has that as well as the notes which it comprised etched on the wooden paddle.

The only one who breaks off to check her call waiting is my daughter; I would not buy that service because it’s rude. I DO have caller ID, tho and like Mikie’s people, I don’t answer unless I know the number. If the same number calls twice I answer (if only to tell them not to call). Some of those cold callers at least pretend to think they are doing me a favor, so I tell them otherwise and THEN hang up.

Need to translate those special fonts? Just copy and translate with google. My win7 pops up a box but I think you can just call up google and click on translate.

What he said? 我講話的唯一的語言是英語。 The only language I speak is English.

Как раз законченное танцы. Спокойная ночь. Just finished dancing. A quiet night.

우리는 재미를 보는가 아직? 잘 자 다시. We having fun yet? Good night again.

So, ColChuck, how does my Google translate feature work? Is it close to what you said?

hese-tay eople-pay a-ray opeless-hay orons-may.

Plus, do they think the rabbit ears improve the cable/satelite reception?

I had to check to see what “Magic Bars” are; as expected they are that same kind of “recipe” that requires no real ingredients or work and are up to the Penny standards for lack of nutrition.

That’s too much copy and paste for me, so what ya’ all said will remain a mystery to me! :-D

The heart is on Joy’s coffee cup. At first I thought it was upside down at the top of the roses, but it’s on the coffee cup.

The backwards clock…. fits right in here…. ! ! !

Press 1 for English…

Howdy Yall.I’ll try to learn Spanish, but those other languages will have to wait just a bit!

lol why waste the money on that feature if you don’t use it

Ah, thanks gang. the comments are better than usual.

I wonder if they use a “pulley” or a “forklift” to get Joy up from that recliner??

@ ColChuck: Thanks for the YouTube link to the offensive translator! I about lost it when I saw that! Something to offend EVERYONE! My kind of funny!

It’s ALL just Google translation, folks.(Um…. don’t mean to insult you Leaky. If your Spanish is that good all on its own, that’s great!)

Most of it has already been translated for you in other comments, such as Smiley’s….

Nothing important lost for those who don’t want to bother copying and pasting the rest…

But fun for those of us who enjoy it.One of mine said something like “internet translation makes us look smart even if it’s completely wrong.”

And my, my, Colonel — I do declare!You will send me running for the smelling salts yet.

In English because from what I could tell, the app was totally unable to handle those idioms in another language! LOL

The comments were fun but as I’m not interested in learning those other languages, I did not bothr with pasting. I blanched and froze a bunch of the veggies that I had in the frig and watched the decorating shows from last night as well as Drew Peterson; his cases were in play when I moved from IL. The worst father here so far was Fisher and I hope they find him. I’m OK with Spanish and just finished my second prise winning novel of Garcia Marquez a little earlier this year (I have old classics on my shelves that I did not yet read and this month have only read 25 chapters of Quo Vadis (just English translation, I admit); If weather continues nice I’ll be done soon, because I need natural sunlight to read without glasses ;-)

I love the flirtation between Susan and the Colonel ;-P

“I love the flirtation between Susan and the Colonel ;-P “

Sorry, it’s not flirtation, its worship!"

That’s what they all say!
