What are you guys going to dress up as for Halloween?

Me voy a disfrazar como Darth Maul.
I'll dress up as Darth Maul.

I always dress up as Darth Maul.

Tengo la mascara de caucho, una bata negra, buzos termales negros,y mis guantes y botas de cuero negro.
I have the rubber mask, a black bath-robe, black thermal sweatpants, and my gloves and boots of black leather.

Al final de cuentas, me parezco un x-verso de veras [:3]
After all is said & done, I look like one kinky sombitch.

Ademas, si me ahogo de calor dentro de la mascara, la quito, y me convierto en este fulano-mengano:
Furthermore, if it's sweltering under that mask, I take it off, and I turn into this fella:

Es como un... como lo dicen... trato dentro de un truco.
It's like a... how do they say it... treat inside a trick.

A proposito, a mi hijo le desgusta mi disfraz de siempre.
BTW, my son is not a fan of my costume.


Preferiria que me disfrazara como Rey Cesar o Capitan K'nuckles o Jake el Perro.
He'd like to see me as King Shiza or Captain K'nuckles or Jake the Dog.

Cualquier otra cosa que aquel viejo Sith de siempre.
Anything but that tired, same-old Sith. [:x]

And, no, I was not leading up to that serendipitous pun(ch)-line. I swear I did not see that one coming. :roll:

Die Welt hat sich verändert.

The world has changed

Ich muss versuchen, einen wirklich offenen Verstand zu erhalten, und ich muss meinen Verstand viel offener machen
I must try to keep a truly open mind, and I must make my mind much more open.
I prefer to not be referred to with masculine pronouns and nouns such as “he/him/his”.

*Schwizerdütscha Rap

<liebä> /lɪə̯bɜ/ or so. And <rap> is pronounced the english way.

I'm sorry, but that one sentence, especially coupled with the IPA makes it seem like you looked at a page about "how swiss german looks and sounds" written by someone who has only ever seen stereotypes of it.

Ouah, j'ignorais ça.

Wow, I didn't know that.

Peut-être que j'avais toujours supposé que le L minuscule était un I majuscule.

Je pense que c'est ce qui m'est arrivé. Je pensais que «iuglio» était étrange en considérant que juin est «giugno» (avec /d͡ʒ/) mais «luglio» est stranissimo!
I think that's what happened to me. I thought "iuglio" was strange considering June is "giugno" (with /d͡ʒ/) but "luglio" is stranissimo!
