“It’s all Greek to me” Sunday
on Feb 10 in Uncategorized by DanIf you don’t know by now, here’s how it works. I’ve take a short film synopsis from the listings page of a TV guide and fed it into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English. The resulting gobbledygook is posted below and your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.
Today’s review is from a moldy old copy of Heat that I dug out of the office magazine pile.
The expectations were high for part three the routine of web throw the privilege, and it exists abundance that enjoys, specifically the [actor] that makes “bad [character]“, cockily strutting via his styles of fever of night Saturday of Manhattan. But a abundance of criminals is proved that is more really less, grace in the tangled mapping out and a loss of focus. Does the OH, and how much conclusions it makes this sucker have?
The winner last time was Lise. Ordinarily I’d do a round up of whatever the winner was talking about on their blog this week. Unfortunately although I know Lise has a site I’ve forgotten what it is. Therefore I shall be using a special celebrity stand in instead.
This week Lise has been informing us all what not to say to our boss. It all sounds like pretty good advice to me, but I think she missed out “Is that a wig?”. If only I knew then what I know now.
She’s also been answering that age old conundrum of whether you should tip bad service. I got a couple of tips for you Lise: Don’t eat yellow snow, and never tie your shoelace in a revolving door. Ah the old ones are the best ones.

In July of this year I shall be walking 78 miles in 6 days in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by my close friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005. Please look here for further details and consider sponsoring me. Thank you.

I know what it is, but I feel I have an unfair advantage as I am one of the few readers who are up in the middle of the night.

Sam – I get 80% of my comments in the middle of the night. Got to love those time zones.
Ed – Err. No.
Whit – Hurrah! We have a winner. I’m guessing the “web throwing” gave it away.
Bec – A likely story.
Dang. I’m an idiot. My thoughts weren’t anywhere near Spiderman 3. Congrats Whit!
Is it Spiderman 3?
Perhaps I should check Dan’s blog while I’m at home, as well as while I’m at work…
Clearly it’s Return of the Jedi.

Doh! Beaten to the punch. Indeed, web throwing completely gave it away.
Holmes’s last blog post..Just a string tied around my finger
I’m late. That’ll teach me to read on Monday instead of Sunday. I was busy.
Momo Fali – It was a tougher one this week. But I’m planning on making next week’s near impossible.
Oli – It is my opinion that everyone should be checking my blog 24 hours a day.
Avitable – I’m rather partial to Ewoks myself
Holmes – I had to make it simple so as to give whit a chance (I know that is in direct conflict to what I said to Momo Fali, but it’s my blog damnit and I can be as inconsistent as I want)
Jason – Moving house is no excuse for not reading my blog. I am disappointed in you.
For some reason it made me think of Saturday Night Fever, but then if it doesn’t feature werewolves or an autopsy or two I probably won’t know what it is anyway ;-)
Morticia – That could have been the words “saturday, night and fever” in close proximity. I was hoping that would throw a few more people off the scent but unfortunately not.
I could only hear the ‘Saturday Nite Fever’ reference so I was not expecting ‘Spiderman’! And btw, I am getting older. More so on Friday….
