I'll eat later?

Good guess Janice.

But unfortunately no cigar.

Try again! ;)

 Okay, I think I understand where you are going with this, Janice. You are looking at the word "laten" and interpreting it to mean "later". "Laten" is Dutch for "to let" or "to allow". Something like that, anyway. (ie Laten we = Let's)

That was the SECOND hint!

NO MORE CLUES!!!!  :-X  :-X

 :laugh:  :laugh:

If I give any more hints, you all won't receive the rainbow peeing pony! He flies. He's not a Pegasus though. He's a PONY! He's a Pegapony!!  :D

A flying, talking, rainbow peeing Pegapony!

I have not much time, I make it quick
- I guess it means: In German - Lass uns etwas essen gehen
                          In English - let us go to eat something

- now I have to go, I`m late,
off to work now ...

- You are right Jess I was before you but
I think - we are both no party pooper!  :D

I saw you over there Sharon! That was fun, wasn't it. I was going to do another one of my Eartha Kitt numbers, but Susie wouldn't help me with my makeup!!  >:(

 ;)  ;)


It was fun - absolutely!  :D
Make up? - I think I have missed something.
I had an eye on Chuck, because he wanted to tickle Gary!

Hey Sharon!! Contratulation! You will the Pony! He's on his way to you right now. He can fly about 100 miles an hour if he catches a good air current with little or no turbulence. :)

I think so Janice!!

Is there ANY language in existence ANYWHERE that someone around here DOESN'T speak? ;) :D

Maybe I'll post another Greek question. The problem is I don't know what the Greek is saying before I translate it back! :)

Nobody speaks Greek around here, do they?

Hey David,  :D
thank you I have received the pony!
He talks a lot, but he pees beautiful rainbow colors.
Thats great to watch!

Janice, I swear I didn`t speak Dutch,
but after the second hint I could guess the answer.
Ok Ok - Dutch is a little similarly to German!  ;)

Greek would be fine, David you could take some Quotes from Wikipedia
- there are many languages available.

Hey David, can I play too?  :D

Which hour you would wish to raise itself tomorrow?


God, that almost sounds obscene!! I swear it wasn't. What was my original question Jess? (Or anyone)
:laugh:

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: that really cracked me up! I'm waiting for the next question then, okay? Hope I don't come late, don't have that much time at the moment....
