I was floored in one syllable. A movie on a spanish-language channel came on, with Keanu and Morgan Freeman. The translator doing Keanu was fine, no surprises, but the first syllable out of the translator's mouth speaking for Morgan was a deep bass, thickly accented, and did not fit the body language of Mr. Morgan Freeman at all.
10 seconds later, the translator switched back into competent mode and I stopped laughing, but remembering the joke on my way up the stairs killed me. So I award the hat to that translator, not knowing where he hails from, Chiapas is just an honored place. Also, Reggie posted a fine sendup of my sendup of Steven Brust's sendup of Dumas, and made it overbearingly long at that. Dude, you can give the impression of overbearing and long language without actually being overbearingly long when you do it. But it was effective until I got bored reading it; maybe my attention span is too short. [Dude . . . you've merely got excellent taste and professional skills] Mark
