You know, for someone who never gets to see any movies, you seem to have been... making up for a lot of lost ground in the past few weeks.

My wife is feeling guilty for making me do all those slides. Hee, hee. And of course I saw Shrek with my daughter. Kids' movies are easy to arrange. There just aren't many worthwhile ones. Shrek was an exception. We took the kids to Jumpy Tiger Exploding Dragon, too (or whatever it was called) -- that was a trip. I had to read the entire movie out loud. And simultaneously explain parts in Hungarian or German, depending on who was confused. Quite the linguistic juggling act. The only real problem with that was that I got a real crick in my neck from leaning over the whole time.

Like a few of the other really popular webcomics Bruno the Bandit has been translated into a few other languanges. In Bruno's case, the two languages are German and Hungarian! Granted, Sluggy has been translated into German and Hungarian as well, but in Bruno's case, those are the ONLY two alternate languages available. Completely off topic, but I though it was neat. :) (Michael, if you could make those messes above into working links, I would greatly appreciate it.) (Your wish is my command, O Poogic One.)

I'm thinking of translating FS into chechoslovokian and ugandan. Then, I'm going to start translating Toonbots on a seperate page. Any sugguestions for languages?
