Okay, the point of this thread is hopefully going to be that anyone at all can post some really crazy random sentence or phrase in the language of their choice. I want to see some funny entries, people! Here's my (probably awful) attempts:

Toute votre base sont appartiennent a nous - All your base are belong to us.

Keisei ni makoto nashi - There is no truth in the words of a [lady of the night].

Quoted from my spanish lesson today:
¡monos!

German lesson last week:
Affen!

For some reason, the people at my school really like that animal.

Believe it or not, Kd, I once had almost that exact phrase as my signature! I had "Tous vos," not "Toute votre," but who's cross-referencing? Great minds...

The first thing I learned in Japanese (spelling is probably wrong):

Shakuhachi-o domo arigato. Anata no shakuhachi wa subarashi!

And I don't recall which dialect this is, nor do I know the correct spelling:

Nya ma pei gao tiu. (I think it addresses issues related to genealogy)

What's also really funny is translating sayings literally from one language to another .

1) Nu komt de aap uit de mouw. - Now comes the monkey out of the sleeve.
This is said when someone finds out the truth about something.

2) Een kat in de zak kopen. - To buy a cat in the sack.
To buy something that turns out to be something that you didn't want to buy after all.

3) Iets in de soep laten lopen. - To let something walk into the soup.
To screw up something.

4) Ergens lak aan hebben. - To have lacquer on something.
To not care about something.

5) Bij de pinken zijn. - To be with the pinks.
To be smart.

6) Scheer je weg! - Shave yourself away.
Something like: Why don't you make like a tree and leave .

Calentoreaba, y las viscotivas tovas
vuelteaban y tregujereaban el terecho.
Misebiles estaban los borogovas
y los deros trugones bramastoilbaban.


!Cuidate del Chacharhuocky, hijo mmo!
!De sus fauces que muerden, de sus zarpas que agarran!
!Cuidate del ave Jubjub y esquiva
al frumioso Bandersnatch!


Il empuqo la vorpalina espada,
y persiguio al manxioso enemigo largo tiempo
Hasta que, cansado, bajo el arbol Tum-Tum
se detuvo un rato a meditar.


!Y, cuando estaba en muforosos pensamientos,
el Chacharhuock, con ojos llameantes,
vino volando a traves del bosque tulgido,
y burbujereo al llegar!


!Un, dos! !Un, dos! Hasta el tuetano
la vorpalina espada lo hizo pedazos.
Lo dej muerto, y con su cabeza
galofrante regreso.


?Has matado al Chacharhuock?
Ven a mis brazos, hijo radiante!
!Oh, dia frobioso! Cualuuuh! Cualuiiih!,
bufloqueo el viejo en su alegria.


Calentoreaba, y las viscotivas tovas
vuelteaban y tregujereaban el terecho.
Misebiles estaban los borogovas
y los deros trugones bramastoilbaban.
