Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time. ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.

I suspect this is to proper French as pig-latin is to English, but as as they are fond to say in the French Quarter of New Orleans and parts nearby, "Laissez les bons temps rouler." Around here, it is generally interpreted to mean, "Let the good times roll." I'd be curious to know how it is interpreted by those who can actually speak the language. It somehow seemed appropriate before Mardi Gras, although we fasted prior to Fat Tuesday, rather than after. I hope we don't have to suffer another Lent.

I'd be curious to know how it is interpreted by those who can actually speak the language I'm not a French speaker... but, Let the good times roll, should be 'Laisser le bon rouleau de temps' - 'Laissez les bons temps rouler' would be 'Leave good times to roll' - at least, so says a couple of translation services on the net. And yes... THANK YOU James, for that quick color image! |

And yes... THANK YOU James, for that quick color image! I'm indeed a French speaker...and a new comer to this forum ! Hi All! Both translation doesn't relate well to "actual" french language in France. As you may be know, Louisiana as well as Quebec used to be part of France and they kind of keep the original language so, the way they use French now is pretty funny for us. Anyway my best guess will be 'Leave good times to roll'. Well, when I registered I didn't thought "Home sweet, Home" would bring me to this kind of "Home sweet, Home".... -------------------- |
