I make to vapor of ritual dances!

I was screwing around on livejournal recently and found this site. According to the user info, this is from a Cub fan in Moscow. Curious, as the only English in the entry is GO CUBS!, I put the rest of the page into Babelfish and this is what came out:

Today start pleyoff of American baseball leagues. One of the remained eight commands is Chicago Cubs (aka Chicago bear cubs), command to which for intelligible reasons 4 very even it is interested:) All there would be so not interestingly if not several very entertaining facts:

the last time Cubs they won championship in 1908.
the last time Cubs they left into the finale (world series) in 1945.
several generations of fans were borne, lived interesting and long lives and they died, so without having seen, as their dear command he will become champion.
Cubs - extraordinarily popular command in Chicago (but there there is and one more, more successful) and, in spite of potryasayushche disgusting results, practically on each game notice. Hence their nickname - lovable losers. 5. Cubs the only remained command in the league with its that not solved "proklyat'em". So-called "proklyat'e of goat". During the ya-oy game of the finale of 1945 Greek immigrant the bills Of sianis arrived to the stadium with his goat, to which honestly they purchased ticket. It even released to its the place, but after a certain time on the personal order of the owner of command it was advanced together with its goat from the stadium, since goat frankly stank. Bills it offended and cursed entire organization, after saying that more they will see not one finale. Cubs they lost that game, then entire finale and since then in the finale they did not appear.

On the whole it is understandable that output itself into pleyoff already sufficiently rare event for this command, so that I press fists, I make to vapor of ritual dances with the tambourine around the totem and I shout: GO CUBS!!!

P.S. Sorri, all this is absurd delirium for whom:) What you will take, America nevertheless...

I, too, look forward to dancing with the tambourine around the totem when the Cubs get that final out!

GO CUBS!!!

Jimmy James, Macho Business Donkey Wrestler

"...many days no business come to my hut but Jimmy has fear? A thousand times no. I never doubted myself for a minute for I knew that my monkey strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo dung.

Glorious sunset of my heart was fading. Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my space. But Jimmy has fancy plans, and pants to match. The monkey clown horrible karate round and yummy like cute small baby chick would beat the donkey."

I think we are all experiencing ...

...a certain measure of insanity as pitch 1 approaches.

Thank you for the great laugh. I too will press fists and make dance with tambourine around the totem on night in late October or early November.

Completely awesome!

Thanks for posting this. For those who enjoy "lost in translation" moments such as this, I'd recommend a novel called Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, which was also made into a movie a couple of years ago. One of the characters is a Russian translator who speaks in much the same manner.

Also fun

is to send something through the babelizer and back again, like this paragraph from Al's post today. Just translated it to Russian and then back again:

Yes, 4 in the best way osvedomlenn that each gain, each loss, magnified in soon a series, is more so in these series of the separation of shch-.igry, and Lou possible completed error "look ahead". But in time, I agreed with the motion. Carlos Marmol Dearly much sveta-vne entire season. If it would be so again yesterday, then not single you to complain about this motion. Instead of, Marmol gave upward hour to marker reynolds D'backs 3B, to the first batter, was which it it looked on, then it gave out jaunt, double to Augie Ojeda, all people, and the third run ykh on the fly of the sacrifice (credit Jacque Jones pliability, it made sufficiently well motion, although it had smaller chance to obtain Chris Snyder).
