A Side of the Barrow-Downs you haven't seen...
 

I hope this topic won't be closed, but I really must share this with you all:

Dialectize the BD Forum

Enjoy!

Not that I've ever heard a Swedish chef trying to speak English, but that was funny! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Too bad there's not a dialect called Norwegian farmer there... That could've been very interesting....

Um, yeah, very very strange. But it was funny. Especially since they were pronouncing my name as Iroovee. Thanks, Luin, a nice thing to see first thing in the morning. I think it probably woke me up completely. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Heh, I've actually seen that before, but not for whole websites. Try out "moron," it's hilarious! Thanks for the link, Luin!

Blimey O'Reilly, guv. 'Ow did I nevvah spot vat place befoah? Cheers fer lettin' me see a cockneyed Barrer Dahns, me old china.

I vant to take zis moment to complain zat ze Dialektizer haz no Russkii dialekt for me to enjoy, ponimaesh? Ozervize, sank you for ze laugh.

Wa'll, hit had Redneck, so's hits alrighty by me, Fry ma hide! Especially since it turned Bethberry's RPG forum into The White Houn'dog Inn.

Fry mah hide! De Barrow-waaaay Downs is, duhhhh, weawwy diffwent, uh-hah-hah-hah!

That cracked me up...

Aww, Wush. How cute!

I have known real fear:

De Revenge uh de Entish Bow

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

At least my title managed to make it through unscathed.

You can probably expect the phrase "Slap mah fro!" to appear in a future part of the story (or two). [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

(It was simply too hilarious for words to see the front page of the forum presented in jive!)

Those were all REALLY funny. I saw myself in the users online part of the BDs, my name was pronounced as keettioohurl1677. That was really, really funny!

Too funny! I'm Ilenner Sterffure-a!
And Ewennaw Stawfiwe!

Lootheeee_ Teenoofiel heeheeheehee
and Meeddle-a-Iert

My siggy in Swedish Chef:
I would be laughing out loud, but I don't want to get kicked out of the library, so I'm just giggling quietly.

*dies of trying to hold in laughter*

I would use more, but I can't. (sad face that I can't use)

"Sophia da Thunner Mistress" enjoyed that little translation greatly. So did "Soofeeya".

Isn't my name just lovely? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What did Sophia da damn Dunda' Mistress think of it? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And Kuru: I can't wait to write Vogonwë's next poem. Be afraid... be very afraid...

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] That's scary!

Hey! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Okay. I take my first quote back. This is the scariest thing I've ever seen!

My name in all the dialects:
luthein_ tinuveil
Lootheeee_ Teenoofiel
(My name survived in redneck. Phew!)
Ludien_ Tinuviel
Luffien_ Tinuviel
Wuthien_ Tinuview
Uthienlay_ Inuvieltay

My signature in "Elmer Fudd". Very weird. But I think by far the scariest ones are "hacker" and "Pig Latin". Thanks for the link, Luin! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hey I have been on that dialectizer before, but I never knew that they would translate an entire forum for you!

All of them butcher my name completely...
Gorwiggel (moron)
Gurveengel (swedish chef)
Go'wingil (Redneck)
Go'win'el (Jive)
and my personal favorite Gowwingew (Elmer Fudd, my man!)

I also never knew that the charater of Peeppee exsisted [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Additionally in moron Ghost Prince turns into Ghost Priss [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is just too, too funny

Heehee. I liked the swedish chef one. My name was: Genefeeefe-a. Heeheee!!! I love it!! I've never seen anything like that that could do a whole website! Thats really amazing actually. Anyways, thanks! That was funny! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh yes yes yes. But the best of them all is Squatter's signature in new format:

""I's gots'ta be but mad no'd-no'd-west, dig dis: when de wind be souderly ah' know some hawk fum some handsaw, so cut me some slack, Jack." Hamlet Act II Scene ii"

At last, a way to have de Bard appeal to de MTV fans.

Well, I'm glad everyone got a kick out of it. I myself was trying (unsuccessfully) to stifle laughs in a quiet house at 4 am. The first URL that came to mind to dialectize was, of course, that of this wonderful site. But yes, it is quite amusing to see the good ol' Barrow-Downs that we are so used to in a different light. I found "moron" to be particularly humorous- this kind of haphazard posting with spelling errors and such is not encouraged here!

Here's one of my favorites:

LOL, Gorwingel. Excellent observations.

-Wuinawatawen, Looeeneletevee... whichever you prefer

That's quite possibly the scariest thing I've ever seen. I could do this for hours.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I am rather fond of "dragonmince pies" aren't we all? And I agree with Galadrie1, I could go on like this for ages.

dfragOn3yeS however, is slightly odd. In fact, I'm confused and quite scared by the whole hacker dialogue.

lol! This is great! This is gonna keep me entertained for weeks... (i'm easily amused).

My name is "ereeunrud"? *cracks up*

Thanks for this wonderful new look of "Zee Berroo-Doons". [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well then, my neme-a is Emunedooeeel zee Ercher. Good grief..

Heh heh, my first post of Broth- sorry, Bruvvahood, a Story From The Last Alliance: RPG fread, in cockney:

Arffain welcomed 'is china eagerly, runnin' up ter him. But such a greetin' were in order; it 'ad been too long since they 'ad last seen each uvver, right, years 'ad passed and Arffain knew 'e must 'ave changed a bit in the elfs mince pies. But the bloody elf still 'ad some tricks up 'is sleeve, and 'is beautiful voice, right, as clear and pure as a mountain stream, shocked Arffain into putting the mockers on.
"Mellon, why 'ave yer never sung wiv me before, eh, squire? Yor voice 'as such purity! Honest guv!"

Melost grinned mischieviously at Arffain as 'e replied. "One must never reveal all one's gifts. How ordinary I would appear in yor mince pies if I couldn't amaze yer now and again."

Arffain mock bowed slightly. "Ah great words from the chuffin' wise Melost! Honest guv!"

His mucker raised an eyebrow slightly, still smilin', and stretched 'is legs. Right. "Ai! Blimey! I'm used ter travellin' afoot! Blimey! Light-footed fough she is, right, my Estel 'as tried me muscles this day! Struth! But Arffain! Blimey! Behold Menelmacar as 'e strides among the stars."

Arffain 'umoured 'is mucker, 'ave a lookin' up at the sky wiv 'im, but 'e 'ad never been able ter see such beauty in the bloody finks that Melost rendered so wonderful. He knew 'ow much it meant ter his elven mucker ter find beauty in wee fings fough, right, so 'e didnt interrupt, but sat dahn at the fire again and waited.

After a mument the elf turned hammer and tack and sat dahn wiv 'im, right? "Yer would ravver sit by the fire than survey the beauty of such a night?"

Arffain shrugged. "I spose me personality 'asnt changed much, right, china. Like yor 'ave a looks." 'e flicked 'is mince pies up and dahn the elfs still yerffful body, right, and 'is unlined Nanny Goat Race, still like that of a twenty year old. Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna. The elf were centuries older than 'im, right, but 'e felt ancient beside 'im. Melost shrugged. "Yer 'avent aged much eever, Arffain."

"Yor a silver tongued liar, right, Melost! Oi!" Arffain shoved 'im playfully. Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna. "Nay, right, many years 'ave passed since last we met. Too long."

"Aye, right, too long, do wot guvnor! And many fings 'ave no doubt 'appened for boff of us in the chuffin' time since."

"Indeed. Come, tell me Melost, wot 'as been 'appenin' ter yer these long years?"

Oh, Cuthalion would have a fit...that made me laugh aloud!

This is to funny. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm going to stop here but this is way to funny [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Dat scwewy wabbit?

Bork bork?


Moobies?

Hacker is just scary.

I rather liked "my proRoyal Mile" and the "Rolemessing" section (in cockney). :D

Reading the RPGs in cockney in the funniest part of it. I couldn't resist but to paste part of my first post for my character Raye in The chuffin' Shadows of Umbra:

In a wee village outside of Mirkwood, there were a tavern. The bloomin' tavern were quite ordinary. It were not large, right, but neever were it wee. The tavern were not old, yet it 'ad stood for many years. Business were slow that night, right, but the stormy wevver were not the bloomin' cause.
In the corner of the tavern, sat a dark, right, cloaked figure. The bleedin' wee figure did not appear intimidatin', yet all avoided it. Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna. Slender 'ands 'eld a pipe, wich the cloaked figure smoked. This mesterious geezer sat there, right, as if waitin' for sumfink.

Several minutes later, a man dared ter approach the figure. Fough 'e were quite drunk, right, as 'e could not ball of chalk in a straight line, he seemed unusually focused and ravver furious. Cor blimey guv, would I lie to you? He did not put the mockers on until 'e were ten feet from the figure. The chuffin' figure leaned back, right, its arms crossed, right, showin' no fear of this man.
"Take off yor 'ood, fool," the man said. "And let me speak wiv yer."
The figure stood up and pulled off its 'ood, revealin' a bint. The tart were not beautiful, nor were she ugly. She 'ad long fiery red 'air, right, that would stand out for miles. Her skin were rough and tanned from spendin' many years in the bleedin' sun. Her mince pies were a brilliant green, but were also cold and piercin'.
The cow, Raye she were called, gave the man a smirk and responded ter his words, askin'," And woss it yer would like ter speak ter me about?"
"Yer know wot I 'ave ter say," the man growled. "Yer cheated me on that last game of darts. I want me brass back."

At this point, right, several of the chuffin' uvvers in the tavern 'ad just begun noticin' the man's confrontation wiv Raye. Many fled the bleedin' buildin', afraid ter see wot were ter happen ter the man. Uvvers sat in their seats, huddled togeffer, right, speakin' in soft wispers.

Raye paid no 'eed ter the uvvers, right, ffough. Her focus remained on the bleedin' man.
"Oh, wot a shame," she said, unmeaningfully, right? "If yer 'ad only told me that before I spent all yor brass for meself." Raye pulled out 'er dagger, init?The bloomin' drunk man, 'oom Raye considered 'elpless, did not spot the bloomin' dagger wich Raye concealed behind 'er back.
"But then again," she continued. "I spose we could 'ave a remotch. If yer win, right, yer cop the remainder of me brass and if I win, I cop nuffink." Raye began ter walk towards the chuffin' drunken fool. "Yer would like that, wouldn't yer?" Raye and the man stood Nanny Goat Race ter Nanny Goat Race, separated by only a few inches of air.
The chuffin' man nodded, no longer furious wiv the yung bint. "I would like that right much," 'e said.
Raye could spot that the bloody fool were completely ignorant of 'er lies and did not realize 'is fate. This satisfied Raye. This man would go dahn wivout a fight.
"Unfortunately," she told the bloody man. "I don't do remotches wiv any fairy." She frusted the chuffin' dagger into the bloody man's stomach.
The man doubled over in pain, but Raye did not release the dagger. "Peraps yer will remember that next time yer come across me."
The man were turnin' ravver pale, but still 'e nodded.
"Good," Raye, said pullin' the bloody dagger from the man's stomach, right, usin' it ter slice 'is froat. The chuffin' man fell ter the bloomin' ground, init?
An easy kill she fought, starin' a the dead man. By far the bleedin' easiest yet.
She picked up 'er belongings and 'eaded out of the chuffin' tavern. The uvvers 'oo remained in the tavern cowered as she strode past them.

That's even better than the original post! ;)

Hilarious...although I object to my name being Ferda, Barda, and Vawda [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Also loved 'The Bleedin' Shire' 'A measho' man uh Sucess' and 'Th' White Houn'dog Inn'

What's really priceless is reading one of those threads which complain about chatspeak, sloppy typing, bad spelling, etc., in Moron...

My favorite way to read the RPG's is Jive. You get phrases such as...

[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

And touching moments like...

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Dear lord I actually speak cockney! I'd never realised before but that must be how I read the Bds in my head...gulp! Yup, that's my miserable secret. When I read Bethberry I actually think:
I don't say chuffin' though. In fact I've never met someone who says it. Perhaps they went to a different EastEnd?

EXTREMELY funny in my opinion. Check this out.
NORMAL ENGLISH: I am a servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Arnor. Dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow. You shall not pass!
REDNECK: Ah's a servant of th' secret fire, wielder of th' flame of Arno'. Dark fire will not avail yo', flame of Udun! Fry mah hide! Git back t'th' Shadow. Yo' shall not pass!
JIVE: I's gots'ta be some servant uh de secret fire, wielda' of de flame uh Arno'. Dark fire gots'ta not avail ya', flame uh Udun! Right on! Go back t'de Shadow, so cut me some slack, Jack. You's shall not pass! Right on!
COCKNEY: I'm a servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Arnor. Dark fire will not avail yer, right, flame of Udun! Blimey! Go hammer and tack to the Shadow. Yer shall not pass! Honest guv!
ELMER FUDD: I am a sewvant of the secwet fiwe, wiewdew of the fwame of Awnow. Dawk fiwe wiww not avaiw you, fwame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow. You shaww not pass!

I do believe I enjoyed the 'jive' dialect the most, but the 'hacker' was just disturbing. Thanks Luinalatawen!
Peace

Hehe... Wywa Gweenweaf... lol...


Lol!

Ooh my...that Swedish chef one is crazy...

In Jive, I read a RPG post of mine that was supposed to be sad. This is how it turned out.

lol. Its a nightmare. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Oh dear, I've finally managed to stop laughing. Thanks to whoever found that. Try it with poetry, it's wonderful.

Well, look at Oddwen's profile in 'Moron'

I'm from sweden, and sertainly do not think the swedish chef sounds swedish at all. It's more like German. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] but I admit it was really funny.
