Here's the quotable attributions thread to end all. It's deep and vexing, but if you can muddle through it, you get a cookie. Here we go:

1. "Es tan patético, neurótico, satírico, psicótico, ¿Que no lo ves? El tango no es de a tres. Llevo planeando escapar y me sale al revés, pero voy a intentarlo una y otra vez - Voy..."

2. "Whereas Jessica, were she not so tan, would look somewhat like an olive."

3. "No creo en Venus ni en Marte, no creo en Carlos Marx. No creo en Jean Paul Sartre, no creo en Brian Weiss."

4. "Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños, y no los confundas con montañas."

5. "¡Fernando es muy chino!"

6. "So Abby, anyone here up on whom you would consider rolling?"

7. "He's my future husband, he just doesn't know it yet."

8. "Si llega por mi culpa a tu morada, si la pobreza expulsa tus zapatos dorados, que no expulse tu risa que es el pan de ma vida."

9. "Estoy enloqueciendome, cambiandome un pie por la cara mia, esta noche por el dia, y nada le puedo yo hacer."

10. " It's just the same, or even worse, than reading poems to a horse."

I'm guessing you said the ones in English.

I don't know who Shakira is, but that's pretty funny. Still, you do speak French so how can we know?

Fernando is very pants!

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

I wrote it on a picture I drew of Fernando. He was pretty polite about it. He told me I was beautiful... I can't complain.

I'm confused. I thought Annie *Was* Shakira. [Dont Know]

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

She is, but only in the way that Clark Kent *is* Superman. You know, off the record.
