“A mini heap such as Puma…”

Trevor sent us a link to a German article (and video) about the PUMAs in Denver, but since it was kind of old and we’re really not front-paging anything about them anymore because the “movement” is, as Tom Waits once said, a spent piece of used jet trash, I couldn’t really use it. After running the article through Yahoo’s Babel Fish language translator, however, the whole article became full of win.  The middle portion of the second paragraph may qualify as one of the best (and funniest) things Babel Fish has ever burped up:

The American equivalent for this is to be found to the Delaware Street in Denver, where Puma in a rented house explains Hillarys candidacy for continuing and as rogues regards Obama and the democratic Bonzen. Puma meant actually People United Means Action, these days however become the four letters as party Unity - My ASS interpreted, which means in approximately, one can lick the ladies and few Mr. von Puma at the ass, as far as it concerns the unit of the party. It could be objected now, a mini heap such as Puma was a medial diverson of the substantial one. But the sad fact remains undisputed that at least one quarter of the Hillary fans does not want to tune two and a half months before the choice further for Obama.

Even Babelfish is a misogynist Obot. Also.

I don’t know, it did include Mr. von Puma.

That make a heap more than sense than the medial von PUMoid.

Don Quichote would have its bright joy!

Anyone going to bring this to their attention?

Pleaseohpleaseohplease have hambeast see this.

“Bonzen” is a way cooler word than “politics.”

I plan to use it with effete snobbery (and italics) in all of my future posts, e.g., “the madcap wingnut Bonzen of a Palin or a Buchanan.”

I can only presume this means that PUMA is officially the David Hasselhoff of US electoral Bonzen.

Reading that reminds me of a story my friend Danny told me years ago. He was apartment-sitting for some mutual friends in Chicago, and the unit across the hall was being rehabbed by Eastern European day laborers who weren’t above having a few nips of schnapps at lunchtime. One afternoon, he heard a heated argument across the hall, in which one of the workers yelled at the other “What is this shit you are fucking? Stop fucking!”

Happy May Day!

All their blasé are belong to us.

Check it. I took a Darragh Murphy post at random, dumped it into Babelfish, translated it into German and, in a delightful flourish, back to English. It’s actually more coherent than the original.

Obama Unready. A new Sobriquet for its sovereignty? The Schweingrippepandemie spreads fast, without warning. Obama does not have a confirmed secretary Gesundheits-und of social services. Does not intend it a surgeon general or many dozens other general health officials in the correct place and prepared, in order to lead. Which means are unprepared the United States for this possible accident. And that is not however obamas, unready, unprepared over its head, anybody disturbance, flip flopping, inexperienced, total ACCIDENT. Also Taggles with Widdershins points our attention to these courageous souls in the wheelchairs, to the house fence (and held) to have chained itself around disturbance president of the O’ To protest to have and from nursing homes remain Liars to act after its promise to help them something control over their own health care. Did I mention today that obama a donkey is? (Today’s PROWL is HERE, if her straight. announce)

Wow, BrooklynheightPUMA, that’s genius!

“Did I mention today that Obama a donkey is?”

Yes Darragh, probably did. 10 times by breakfast. It’s getting unhealthy. Your family is getting worried. Now come inside and put some clothes on, the neighbors are staring.

The best part of that English-German-English deal is how some Germanworfs are randomly thrown in. It reads very Dr. Strangelove. It’s like her inner Nazi is showing.

I did that with a certain maniac’s words but then I decided I’d leave it in the German translation.  So, guess who:

Ich bin in einem Gaststättebeweisgeschäft, habe mein Elterngeld, und ICH LEIDE NICHT. Wir haben eine Jahrnahrung PLUS, wir haben unsere Gärten, wir haben unsere Waffen, unsere Gewehrgewehrkugeln, unser Netz. Wir werden vorbereitet. Dieses Sprechen, KENNE ICH NICHT STEUERräume, die Leiden anfängt. Ich hoffe, das es, geben Verhungern, hoffen I, dem es randaliert dort und ich hofft, dass es gibt erheblichen Tod… WARUM bitten Sie? Weil die verdorbenen faulige Massen REALEN ingorant müssen verwirklichen, die sie… taten und es erscheint (und MURPHY sind Sie manchmal in meinem Verständnis), der ZWEITEN Wahl von GW, es erlernt zu REALEM REALEM VERLANGSAMT… Dieser Mann und seine Mannschaft sind folglich für nicht nur Amerika gefährlich, aber die Welt, kann I nur hoffen, das ungeheures Leiden die Lernkurve OBEN, so, um zu sein vielleicht zu speichern wir selbst…

The translator tells me it’s J4H.

What do I win?

(I could have just guessed based on the caps, but there’s such a high percentage of caps-overuse in the litter box.)

I’m in a restaurant proof business, lost my parents and I do not. We have one years food PLUS, we have our gardens, we have our weapons, our gun bullets, our network. We will be prepared. This speech, I do not know TAX rooms, the suffering begins. I hope that it enter starvation, I hope that it rioted there and I hope that there is significant death ... WHY you ask? Because the corrupt masses foul REAL ingorant must realize that they did ... and it seems (and MURPHY are you sometimes in my understanding), the second election of GW, it learned about REAL REAL slowed down ... This man and his crew are consequently not America only dangerous, but the world, I can only hope that the immense suffering of the learning curve UP, then, to be perhaps to save ourselves ...

Too funny!

Jennifer is just waiting for the day she gets the Elterngeld.

Even in German, J4H is incoherent; sure, the translator screws things up, but even allowing for it, that’s some god-awful German right there…

You had me at “My ASS interpreted

LMAO!!!!

Oh my god/gosh/heck/humanist principles . . .

The original article and the Murphy post and the J4H post—all provided the best laughs I had in a long, long time.

Thank you again for so sanely illuminating the insanity.

But I ask you—what about our Puma Sibyl, NewOrleansPuma (who, I fear, has eaten too many laurel leaves)? Will Babelfish make her ranting intelligible?
