I forgot to make a Round 2 of the Garbled Quotes Quiz, but better late than never!

These are the twelve quotes that went unguessed from Round 1. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out where the quote is from and/or what it sounded like before being run through the translation machine.

It's been a while since I last had a quiz, so here's a new one now: A quotes quiz, my favourite kind! This one has a twist, though. I have picked 20 quotes from films and television and run them through Lost in Translation Agency, which translates phrases back and forth until the result is word soup.

Today I have gone to the park to blow some soap bubbles. I bought the soap bubbles on a whim a week ago (they were near the counter - I'm such an easy customer), and since today was so beautiful I decided it was a suitable soap bubble day. I did wonder briefly what I would say if anyone asked wtf I was doing, but decided that I would claim that it ( Read more... )

I decided that I could not possibly review the newest Doctor Who in any meaningful way; it would all be "squeeeee *flail flail flail* squeeeeee" and no substance. So I decided to write a post with my favourite quotes, instead. Which turned out to be half the script - and that's cutting away quite a bit of good stuff!

( Fabulous stuff said by the Doctor and friends. )

Today's Quote of the Day on the Press Gang mailing list really reminded me of why I love the show so much. (Well, the dialogue is just one of the reasons, but still.) Hence, I'm redistributing it for my flist ( Read more... )
