Worst game of Telephone evar.

Let's give Mr. Rogers a spin:

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor, would you be mine? Could you be mine? It's a neighborly day in a beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty, would you be mine? Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you,

So let's make the most of this beautiful day! Since we're together, we might as well say, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor?"

...56 translations later we get:

"A good friend, one day, right? How? The tree is beautiful, the environment and human eyes, is a happy day for me?

I always thought it was my friend. I've always lived.

ดังนั้นถ้าคุณมีวันที่ดี! For example, if you do it? How? Who is my neighbor?""

I'm pretty sure that in that last line Mr. Rogers is using profanity.

Original text:

"Riki Tiki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo."

...56 translations later we get:

"He said dijitengbo katorinavain shalibali kufabaruku."

The result is just as unintelligible as the original text. I guess it did us a favor by putting a "he said" in front of it, lol.

Oh this is a good one...

Original text:

"Mac versus PC is a wonderful debate."

...56 translations later we get:

"Apple and a lot of errors."

Looks like they got that one right!

Take a look at how this one comes out:

"Space, The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds; To seek out new life and new civilizations; To boldly go where no man has gone before!"

...40 translations later we get:

"Space Deadline. Star Tours. New world, new culture and a new life, encouraging him to five years!"

And all this time I thought Star Tours was based on Star Wars.

"Mamma, don't whoop little Buford

Mamma, don't beat on his head

Mamma, don't whoop little Buford

I think you should shoot him instead."

"Bouffard Bouffard mother to her grave and cried. But I think it should be."

And Paul Linnman, the Oregon news reporter who covered (not physically) the Exploding Whale in 1970,

"The blast blasted blubber beyond all believalbe bounds."
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"Belyevalbe Explosion to destroy them."

You can view the news story here. Paul Linnnman is a fascinating person and a good guy. How many news reporters will I say that about? There are actually several in Oregon, including reporters for NBC.

And since we're on the subject of things being blown up, we might as well get a quote from Mythbusters. Someone want to do that?

"I do all my own stunts"
[RIGHT]...56 translations later we get:[/RIGHT]
"I appreciate your enthusiasm."

Going with the Mythbusters theme:

"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

becomes

"I admit, sounds, and tell the truth."

In honor of my new favorite band:

"Blue Rubber Poo"

...56 translations later we get:

"However, chewing gum, black"

And now a few from Princess Bride, since that movie seems to get a lot of attention on SGT. The first quote doesn't even need the original:

...56 translations later we get:

"Hello, my inigomontoia: "You killed my father." Be prepared for death."

:D: And these:

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! "

...56 translations later we get:

"Dumb! The most popular of the war in Asia - - This is a classic mistake, but I could be a problem, or is in the city on the map, "said the man," you know."

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something. "

...56 translations later we get:

"Welcome to life issues. It is also called selling."

Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. "

...56 translations later we get:

"Oh, the United Nations life and death for my friends seem dull. In other countries, death and Dying."

[DragonFox98]

Oh...My....God!!! Wombat...I'm dying here!!! :D: Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything, else it would have ended up all over my computer. These were great, thanks!!! (My kids get mad because I quote the movie all the time)


PS - you know.......I think I may have an idea for Halloween costumes for next year.....

"Welcome to life issues. It is also called selling."

Being the horrible salesperson I am, I can relate to this one... :)
