I am trying to recall some of the Roman names.
In A&C, you have "Superflous", "Mintjulep" and "Operachorus".
Oh and Obelix's little dog is called "Dogmatix" (in the English version anyway)

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

You know, Buffistas often request jobma and healthma, but we hardly ever hear a call for "dogma." I'm not sure if that's because we're heathens or cat owners or both.

Thanks for all the fish.

All over the place up here. Well, at least in my little circle. Remind me to show you the next time you're here, Trudy.

t /thinking in french
Sorry I couldn't find the stuff I was looking for. The names of the Roman generals are quite funny, but I don't get them in French so I'm guessing no-one else here will either...I could be wrong.
Edit: FayJay, hows your French?

No, Asterix only really works in a language you're fluent in. All my German friends love it, but complained that the English translations were really bad. Actually, the English translations are exceptionally good, but full of puns and word games, so they simply didn't get most of the humour.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Abysmal. Beyond "Le singe est dans l'arbre" I'm pretty much toast.

Yes, that's about my level. (God bless Eddie Izzard and all who sail in him.) I took French to GCSE, so I've got sufficient lousy Franglais to make a reasonable stab at translating things, and I can hazard a guess at other Romance languages when in Italy/Romania/wherever, but in terms of grammar or extensive vocabulary - really no. My wee sister is the proper polyglot of the family.
You've got family in France, then? That's nice.
