Also Hobby, das hat mich jetzt zu einem Versusch verleitet misch ins hessische einzufuehlen it's a foggy day = D'Scheibe sin mid Dau bschlasche waere das foehnetisch un suenndgemaess ruechtig? bin ja nisch Hesse,hab aber so ne Schwaeche fuers Stoddern (wie das manchmal hier im Forum genannt wird)und mein David Boii heisst Rodgau Monotones
Ich würd allerdings den "foggy day", ich hab ja erst gelesen "froggy" day, , so übersetzen:
"Ess iss gonnzscheeh nebbelisch"
WWL-EhrenMitGlied Bleibt zu hoffen, dass das absehbare Ende des US-Imperiums nicht mehr all zu viele Kriege, Tote und weiteres unsägliches Leiden wie im Irak nach sich zieht. (clemens ronnefeldt)
