2. Yes, you sure will.
That's all you have to do. My favorite dictator though was Charlie Chaplin.

5. First, I'll outlaw peas. I hate peas. I'l also outlaw the cooking of carrots.
Carrots should be cold and crispy, as God intended.

6. You remind me of Groucho Marx in "Duck Soup."
He was the leader of Freedonia and he outlawed dirty jokes and gum.
He sang, "When chewing gum is chewed, the chewer is pursued and in the husgal we shall throw him..."

8. No. A really ugly witch with a unibrow will wisk you away to Siberia.
Where you will wander the mudbrick road with a drunk soldier, a timber wolf and your government minder in search of the city of Gulag and Baba Yaga.

16. Your intelligence is no match for our KGB. That is not Margaret Thatcher.
That is Donatella Versace.

20. I don't dance barefoot
Edited on Wed Dec-10-08 10:00 PM by Xipe Totec
too painful.

But for you...

Will there be libations?

I have great respect for anyone who serves libations at a funeral.

Something a Mexican, such as myself, can admire and understand.

(and my Russian son can too).

21. Lots of vodka and tequila, I guess.
:) BTW: "We will dance at your funeral" was suggested as an alternative translation to "We will bury you."
