If I were not a little mad and generally silly,
I should give you my advice upon the subject willy-nilly;
I should show you in a moment how to grapple with the question,
And you'd really be astonished at the force of my suggestion.

On the subject I shall write you a most valuable letter,
Full of excellent suggestions when I feel a little better,
But at present I'm afraid I am as mad as any hatter,
So I'll keep 'em to myself for my opinion doesn't matter!

(Gilbert and Sullivan of course, specifically Ruddigore)

At times I can relate to the song 'Mr Cellophane'. Sad but true.

I know what you mean. I've often figured that my superpower was invisibility.

If someone were a funky frog,
His comic partner, Ed the Dog, (Oops! I mean Cat!)
It's just like falling off a log.
You'd notice him.

I put thos words into Google Translated and tranlated them to Korean, then Chinese, then Bulgarian, then back to English:


If I'm not a little mad, I'm usually stupid,
I will borrow your theme.
I have to tell you how to deal with this problem.
The power of my proposal really surprised me.

On this subject, I will write to you the most precious letter,
When I got a little better I was filled with good advice,
But now I'm as angry as anybody else.
So I will leave it to myself because my opinion is not important!

(Of course, Gilbert and Sullivan, especially Rudygger)

From English to Basque, to Norweigan, then back to English.



Oh, Maria is a wonderful holiday
Mary makes your heart clear
When it's gray and plain
Mary makes the sun a shining splendor
Oh, happiness is general
The narcissus smiles
Mary's hand is so big that you feel
Your heart begins to grow like a big brass band

Mary is a wonderful vacation
It is not surprising that we love Mary

So there you go, Mary is a wonderful vacation. At least that's what all the fellas say after plying her with 3 bottles of Hooch.
