Asterix and Obelix
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.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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.
Edit: FayJay, hows your French?
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.

Yes. Eddie Izzard does a reasonable stand-up job in French.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
hmm, it appears Channel 7 may have heard the wailing and gnashing teeth. According to Ebroadcast.com.au, Adelaide/Melbourne/Perth are getting a repeat of Buffy (Once More With Feeling) and a repeat of Angel (the Ballet one) this week. Meanwhile, Sydney/Brisbane gets caught up to the rest of us with a new ep of Buffy but no ep of Angel.
