   I guess the translator figured Pamela Anderson is better known in the Spanish-speaking world, but I don’t see why that would be the case.

   When I initially saw your comment, I hadn’t seen that the English version referenced Dolly Parton and I thought you were perhaps suggesting that PA is sleazy and that DP would be a better choice.

   How long is the wait for knee/hip replacement surgery in Australia? Friends of mine here in Canada have had to wait over a year, and that seems to be fairly typical.

   It’s hard to imagine anyone wordier than Victor Hugo. I’ve read him in the original French; he has an incredible vocabulary, and, man, does he use it!

    Off topic, but as a Senators and Habs fan I’m glad to see the Bruins slowly sinking down the standings. I don’t hate the Bruins, however, because I really appreciated their thrashing the evil Leafs in the playoffs so many times. And didn’t they once beat the evil Canucks (only the Leafs are more evil) in the Stanley Cup final? So they’re a team with a proud history.
