Do have some burdock? The return of

Ah, the joys of translation ...
Right now, a question we tickle the office: how to translate this: バーダック
The more experienced may recognize the name of His Japanese father Goku in Dragon Ball Z, namely ...
And that's where it gets stuck. Indeed, there is no official translation of the name in alphabet. In France, many people use Baddack but Bardack. USA is Bardock who wins because the バー can read "Baa", "Bar" but also "Bur. Coincidentally, all Saiyan have names of plants, plants or vegetables. Our man with the name of a plant is called in English "Burdock," burdock or French. Hence the nice photo of this species Thistle which nobody except the author has probably heard of ...

So you could call the character "Burdock," except that Toriyama is a funny guy (yes, I swear, read Dr. Slump, ignorant band!) And just as he named Goku "Kakarot "(not Karot / carrot so for those who have a little too blank in place of the brain), he also replaced the dock-by-dack.

So after much procrastination and philosophical questions-introspective (but not too far either), it was decided to call it "Burdack! This does not include video games and older versions of the call Baddack, newly translated manga choosing Berduck or Americans continue to call Bardock, since in any case there is no approved version. Ah, the joys of translation. And to think it was a movie nothing to him when nobody knows how to write his name!

Why Does Toothache Get Worse In The Evening

Steradent

We will say that it becomes an obsession but hey, once a year is not really an obsession, eh?
Normally I am not racing on Saturday morning but the afternoon. There are fewer people and we do not wait at the checkout. But, I do not know, enlightenment or just a delusion, I races in mid-morning. And waiting at the checkout, I saw it!
75 years firmly packed (there is not the age that was packed for that matter) on the 3 sticks painfully enclosed in a plastic bag. She then poses in what appears to be a caddy for children near the cash and leaves. I tell myself that alzhemimer is really a crap.

few good minutes later, the queue behind me was very elongated. Following you guess right? The old woman returned with 4 fruit yoghurt (I recall it took several minutes to 20m). And obviously, it means the young couple behind me that she was since there before his sticks are in the cart! Amazement of the couple as it also makes several minutes they expect and had never seen. I got you seen or experienced.

decidedly old ceases to amaze me ..

Princess Poly Pocket Games

Yum yum, Gizmo

In reading the latest Mad Movies dated, excellent magazine, I came across an article on Gremlins and made me want to see him. Good luck, Free Home Video (VOD Free) offers 2 movies.

This film continues to fascinate me for 2 things:
1 / despite the fact that the Gremlins are puppets manipulated, they remain credible after 25 years
2 / film is the only example of 'successful adaptation of a horror script became family film

For Gremlins is basically a horror film: Spike Gozmo had become, she would be beheaded, the dog being eaten, the science teacher to receive a pile of needles on the face etc..

And yet, this film has remained a reference Family-style horror. Without doubt the right touch of producer Steven Spielberg ...

At the time I was crazy about this movie: I even had the CD-book! Not funny anecdote about this:
at the time in below us lived a young couple with whom my parents had befriended. The husband stood for I do not know what reason to give me something. We went by car to Euromarket. I think that's when I understood the meaning of the phrase "do in his pants." It went so quickly, taking turns so tight that every time I saw my short life flash before me. So we took the famous book-disk.

few weeks after they, or rather, moved. Her husband had a car accident and had not survived. Perhaps a Gremlin had sabotaged his brakes. We will never know.
