Unplugged Chit Chat Thread

Rita Rita Ronka (again, butchering). As it goes on I think it's Ride a white horse? He would bounce me on my knee. Years ago I remembered a bit more and I'd do the same with my kiddo.

Aaaaw... That's too sweet!

Don't worry at all about "butchering", I totally understand what you mean and I guess you remember it from hearing it? Not reading the rhyme, right?

Here it is in Swedish:
Rida rida ranka. Hästen heter Blanca.
Vart ska vi rida? Till en liten piga.
Vad ska hon heta? Jungfru Margareta, den tjocka och feta!

Loosely translated:
Ride ride the pony. The horse's name is Blanca.
Where are we riding? To a little lady.
What will her name be? Virgin Margaret, the chubby and fat (one).

Most little kids laugh a lot at the end of the rhyme.

Thank you so much! I will be sending this to myself for reference later!!

Ja, de er svært like. Nesten akkurat som Fransk og Spansk!
I used to live in Oslo for 8 yrs so I am fluent in Norwegian too.

Ooh! I only had to look up one of those words!

You're welcome! It was all my pleasure to help and to get to translate a favorite nursery rhyme that I grew up with too.

Wow, that's really good!

Jeg er svært imponert. Det tok meg mange år for å lære meg at skrive ordentlig på Norsk. Til tross for at språket er veldig likt så er grammatikken helt forskjellig i enkelte tilfeller.

And now we've confused everyone in this thread!

Pool time at Saratoga!

I realized this morning I am going to be that local who comes to the resorts for QS Mickey waffles occasionally.

Nothing wrong with that!

Gosh, you're a real Renaissance Man! And I still say you look like a young, facial harier Burt Reynolds!! You're too young, but that's a GOOD thing!

 

[NeuroCindy]

I was just informed that one of my friends passed away. I don't even know what to say, she was like 36.

That's awful, Cindy. My condolences to you and those who knew her.

So we are riding a horse to meet a chubby virgin?

Guess it's no better than our nursery rhymes - I mean "Rockabye Baby" features a cradle falling out of a tree

So sorry to hear that! So tough when it is a shock like that. Prayers for you and your friend

Oh goodness. Very hard when this happens but seems even harder at a young age. My condolences.

Don't make me get off my unicorn now... The Friday Feeling is strong with this one! *LOL*

Yeah most nursery rhymes are a bit strange all over the world, I guess.

So very sorry, Cindy. I know she was blessed to have your friendship in her life while she was here. I hope you find comfort in your loving memories very soon.

It's Friday, Friday gotta get down on Friday. Almost time for the weekend weekend...

Now I hope that's song stuck in your heads!

College is going well so far of course no classes yet so I'm sure my opinion will change. Meeting new people going to different events. Last night I watched but didn't partake in human battleship in the pool.
