Damn you Dog. I’m not good with languages, and rely heavily on Google Translator. I can’t copy and past your hand written stuff in, so I’ve got no idea at all what’s going on here.
Well there’d better be a translation in the coming days FD……..
Or your miriad fans will be using *you* as a pinata!!
On past form, you’ve probably written something very witty in Korean and Arabic as well.
What a smartarse.
I know a picture says a thousand words but in this case a translation is still required!
hahaha! Is it possible that your commentary is even better in another language?! Onya FDOTM you Bogan.
Semi-translation:
[First Dog - No you don’t - let them work it out themselves!]
No te creo. Tienes la culpa de todo!
Hell, I had a crack at translating that, and I was wiped. Why? I’m one of them aren’t I?
[First Dog - We are letting people work it out for themselves if they feel it is necessary]
If I left a comment now, it wouldn’t be printable.
FD. As Clare might say - this little short Hispanic with a snoz muff and three fully sick boys skanked colonial to shitmonger Aussie cell-webs and dumbass democracy so they could thumb out with a motza of bread. Adios, adios NOOB!
And the T-shirt goes to………*Christine Johnson*…. by the length of the straight!!!
Brilliant.
Ta Paddy. But my new gravitar didn’t appear. Gross, gross sick.
My exasperation should read gross, gross suck. I’ll just Werbeloff into my corner now.
