Here’s how it works. I’ve take a short film synopsis 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.
A pretty tricky one this week. Could it be the first “All Greek to me” Sunday to have no correct guesses?
Goodbye, order! Hello, summertime! But for the [character], the [character], [character], and [character], these interruptions are not no day in the beach. That’s because they’re all that function in a club of countries that is founded from [character] and the family! And with the annual talent club’s you present right round the corner, [character] where the competitive instincts. Dump [character] as collaborator and it begins to seek [character] in order to it links her onstage this. The [character] is from convulsed that [character] has agreed with [character]. How it could make this in? The things heat above in the turfs of high society. Will [character] and the [character] realise that they’re it meant it is? Or be already too much late for their in order to a last song joint?
Last week’s winner was Oli. He doesn’t have a blog as such, just a rarely updated Livejournal site. He does however have a excellent online photo gallery which includes a rather wonderful array of floppy faces.

Craig – Yep, you’re right. Now would you like to explain why you, a 32 year old man with no children, know the plot to that film?
PandoraCaitiff – Yeah, I got the original text from a summary on imdb.com. i think i’ll go back to my normal sources next time.
Rol – Nope.
Morticia – Wow you’re bad at this game. If I didn’t know better i’d say you weren’t even taking it seriously.
CamiKaos – I can certainly see where you are coming from.
Avitable – Your knowledge of fancy grammar words is most impressive. But you were too late and you forgot to add a “2″.

(I’ve never seen it; an older boy told me to say it).
Thanks for the recognition Dan – and thanks for bringing Floppy Face to the attention of your readers. Hopefully there will be more submissions for that site? Come on people – let’s see what you’ve got!
As for my infrequently updated LJ; I only signed up for it to access a girl’s private area (she posts friends-only you see), and I don’t really like telling people what’s been going on.
Having said that, I suppose I could make a brief update, seeing as it’s apparently Bank Holiday Monday in most of the UK, EXCEPT SCOTLAND, so seeing as the rest of you are all dirty layabout slackers, I feel justified in skiving off work for a short while to make a brief post. After all, I’ve been sitting at my desk for very nearly an hour – I deserve a break.
