h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

May the best ye've ever seen, be the worst ye'll ever see,
May a moose ne'er leave yer girnal, wi' a tear drap in his e'e,
May ye aye keep hale an' he'rty, till ye're auld eneuch tae dee,
May ye aye be jist as happy, as we wish ye aye tae be,
And lang may yer bums reek.

Tae aw Hootooers ane and a',

Happy New Year

Slainte!

Can we still Yikes things under the 'foreign language' rule?

B

Thanks, swl. You too.

Are you waiting for someone to point it out?

Rod

And to you, too, swl.

Are you pissed, or is that scotch?

May the best you have ever seen
Be the worst you will ever see
May a mouse never leave your girnal (pantry)
With a tear drop in his eye
May you always keep hale and hearty
Till you are old enough to die
May you always be just as happy
As we wish you always to be

If I catch a mouse in my pantry, he'll be damn lucky to leave without his internal organs mashed in.

B

And the last line should be 'Lang may yer lum reek' - literally, 'Long may your chimney smoke' or, to put it another way, 'Long and healthy life.'

But maybe swl was being facetious and I'm being pedantic.

Happy New Year everybody!

Is that mashed in parsnip with pan-fried chicken livers and a passionfruit jus?
