Re: fuzzy blue monkeys(was Re: .sig)

nicole is having grand fun with the monkeys (she is also
referring to herself in the third person for some unknown
reason... perhaps the utter lack of sleep she got last
night)... i don't know how i ended up typing fraumige
instead of flaumige i only looked it up in my
german/english/german dictionary 3 times... so i can no
longer tell the difference between l's and r's... but if you
think that was bad wait until she (there goes that third
person thing again) tries to translate it into Polish... (i
wonder how fast the ta (teaching assistant) would run away
(doror rakem) if i asked her?)

fuzzy blue monkeys...shmuli atae muhnkia...jiqek qelek
nimmekel...Luddiga blå apor...flaumige blaue
Affen...tódifai kówainG MANgKIi...
..nicole

ps. did i get the Etábnanni right Tristan? i'm afraid my
brain's really not functioning too well at the moment...
