MSN, quoted!, megalomania, singing-like-a-bird, Obdormio

By Obdormio, too, and he's a picky one, so yay.

I spontaneously translated the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-theme to Nynorsk and put it in first person:

ME ER VERDAS MEST FRYKTSAME SLÅSSENDE SAMARBEIDSGRUPPE!
ME ER HELTAR!
I SKJELPADDESKAL!
OG ME ER GRØNE!
NÅR DEN VONDE MAKULERAREN GÅR TIL ÅTAK!
SÅ TEK ME SKJELPADDEGUTAR SLETT IKKJE SÅ LETT PÅ DET!

MUTERTE NINJA-TENÅRINGSKJELPADDER!
MUTERTE NINJA-TENÅRINGSKJELPADDER!
MUTERTE NINJA-TENÅRINGSKJELPADDER!
HELTAR I SKJELPADDESKAL!
SKJELPADDEKRAFT!

Erlend, of course, quotes the best bit:
"Når den vonde makuleraren går til åtak, så tek me skjelpaddegutar slett ikkje så lett på det!"

Still hilarious.

Aw, thank you.

I fear I'm gonna have to second that.

(Also, figuring out what verb in the sentence I just typed is the finite one? Not something I wanna try at half past midnight, messed up by dark chocolate and too much coffee.)

Anyhoo, there're few things a translation into Nynorsk cannot render beyond awesome.

I'm outright proud of "slett ikkje så lett på det!", actually. I feel that was a stroke of translatory, well, maybe not excellence, but certainly awesomeness.
