I suggested this meme to [livejournal.com profile] musegaarid a while back and am only now getting round to enacting it myself.

The Babel-Drabble!

Here's the deal. Take one of your posted fics and use Google's translator or Babelfish to translate it into the language of your choice and then back into English. Pick out the best line(s) of the new story and write a drabble. Post your drabble on your journal and tag five friends to do the same.

"THAT WHAT YOU MEANS YOU WERE WITH SALADIN!" Under Crowley, a peddler angry it has given of soccer to its ass.

"It wasn't with Saladin that I learned," Aziraphale said. Really, Crowley's devotion to donkey football was rather embarrassing.

"Hmph," said Crowley. "Those Arabs liked their horses way too much if you ask me."

"NOT WITH HE WITH HE! IT OBTAINS YOUR MIND FROM THE GRONDAIA, YOU PERVERTITO OF PERDITIOUS!" The given ass of soccer behind.

"Grondaia?" asked Crowley, puzzled.

"Well, heads wound up in gutters all the time when I played the real game. Honestly, I was rather good," Aziraphale said defensively, thinking fondly of the particularly brutal form of Afghani polo that involved sheep corpses when times were lean, although human heads rolled a lot better.

I tag [livejournal.com profile] dreya_uberwald, [livejournal.com profile] celandineb, [livejournal.com profile] bethbethbeth, [livejournal.com profile] argyleheir, and [livejournal.com profile] maggiehoneybite. But I'd love to see these from ANY AND ALL OF YOU.

Oh, GOD, I am laughing too hard to write a drabble from this. After transformation into Italian and back again, my most recent ficlet sports lines such as: Its beer blinks down on the coffee table and You ignite yourselves, you have obtained to admit that it would have to go for it. Right?

Raskryvayushch its armored hand it chanted in lost language Nъmenor. "to the ides now, I let out you. Follow us not more further! You will return to minas Morgul." In proportion to the horses lingered, slushayushch of vnimatel'n, it added. "go, steal all mares, you is which can find and make more as, it is swift and it is strong!" The stallions moved away to the latter, first to go for a walk to that command, after this breaking into the the swift gallop. Soon glow equine of energy of life was gone from their sighting and peace became the grayer place without augmentation of their mortal sight. "Hmp. would be the thought to reproduce finally they obtained moving them!" said Herumor wryly.

If I wasn't dying of laughter, I think I'd be terrified XD And if I can even find something decent of my own, I'm doing this.
