    90% of KBers don't write in English, so how can they claim to speak it?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    That is a valid point actually.

    Myself:

    Body language
    Danish
    Drunken Danish
    English
    Drunken English
    Some German
    Quite a bit of Drunken German
    Very little French
    Even less Drunken French (I think "fetches la vache" about covers it)
    Can communicate with Swedes, but it's usually just a waste of time... they're almost always drunk.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    'Fetchez la vache!' is a heady distillation of pure comic awesomeness, which remains funny [cue Twilight Zone music] even when you're sober.

    Well, nothing much beats good ol MP. And that particular scene is way up there with their very best.
