An idea...

I thought we'd all play a little game! Let's call it "Lost in Translation" (a very good movie, if you haven't seen it yet!). Here's how you play - I'm going to list a bunch of things that Ben says, and then all you fathful readers can post back with your guesses! I'll have to work on a prize though...correct answers will be posted IF we get a certain number of responses (say 5)...winner will be the person with the most number of correct answers. Gord, you can't play.

Here we go!

1. Moom (a thing)
2. Bapa (a person/entity)
3. Jo-ja (a person/entity)
4. Vee-vee-o (a thing)
5. Jew (something he would consume)
6. Doh (command)
7. Ev-eee (an easy one!) (adjective)
8. Biiiiiiiiiiiiih (adjective)
9. En-do (a thing)
10. Ya-yeee (a person/entity)
11. Dup (a thing)
12. Mewh (something he would consume)
13. New-noh (something he would consume)
14. Piyoh (a thing)

OK, this is going to be much harder than I thought, so I've added "categories", like on Wheel of Fortune.

Ready...set...post!

Well, I don't know how many I'll get right, but maybe I'll win an early bird prize.

Here goes:
1. moon
2. papa
3. Georgia
4. video
5. juice (Interestingly, I was at the gym watching a closed-captioned interview between Oprah Winfrey and Sarah, Dutchess of Kent one day. Sarah was making Weight Watchers muffins and when she poured in the orange juice, the closed-captioning said "Now I'll add the orange jews.")
6. GO!
7. heavy
8. big
9. ????
10. daddy
11. ???
12. milk
13. noodle
14. ???

How'd I do?

Pretty good...We'll tell you how good if/when other people respond.

Um, like, won't other people see how clever I am and, like, COPY my answers? I think maybe I should just win the prize.

Alright, so it's not a perfect plan! We'll have to figure something out. No one else will likely respond anyways!

Collusion? Well I never. You two are going to get yourselves banned from all future contests! :) Maybe we should have a pool to see how many other people will post.
