Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for May 04, 2024

That’s pretty much Japanese word order.

Too late now.

“Do or don’t. There is no fry.”

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

Have you ever tried wookie jerky? It has a nice flavor but can be a bit chewie.

May the 4th be with you !!!!!!!

I had this problem taking my SPL driving course.

The trainer would tell me to accélérez, so I naturally pressed down on the accelerator. In French, it’s normal to say the negative at the end of the command. I hadn’t waited for the pas at the end. Accélérez pas = Don’t accelerate…

You want fries?

This reminds me of a M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye and BJ are trying to disarm a bomb that landed in the camp. They were getting instructions over the radio. “Cut the green wire … but first …”

May the Fourth be with them.

Today is Star Wars Day—-May the 4th be with you!

Ewoks out hungry or Degobah another order of fries.

Happy Star Wars Day!

And happy Free Comic Book Day!

Too late!

Touch not the fries, or the force will be not kind to you.

I would rather you did not. Yoda would not use a contraction.

Metaphors be with you!

“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if dozens of fries suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.”

Mmmm, soft and Chewie.

oops

Mark Twain once said he tried to read a German trilogy but it was too much for him. All the verbs were in the third book.

Ninja Wookiee!

So, you did want fries with that, Yoda?

Too slow, Yoda.

Here is a rather typical sentence construction in German: The train arrived this morning at the train station not.
