He certainly knows how to show his feelings. Though I wonder whether he's addressing a cook or a cookery book.

A pizza delivery service, of course ;-) - mcl020, Apr 24, 2013

Don't apologize when you show your feelings. No te disculpes cuando demuestras tus sentimientos.

Answer 11

El cuy en la foto de mlc nos muestra una sonrisa sencilla, enseñándonos sus dientes superiores pero temo que no sea un buena publicidad para su odontólogo.

The guinepig in mlc's foto shows us his happy smile and demonstrates his upper incisors but I'm afraid it's not a good advertisment for his dentist.

Please refer to mlc's briliant foto. - annierats, Apr 24, 2013

:-) - pmikan-pam, Apr 24, 2013

...nos muestra...enseñándonos...una buena publicidad para su *odontólogo*. - diagonx, Apr 24, 2013

Now, dentist is best translated as "odontólogo", "dentista" is used by Spanish-speakers who let their English affect their Spanish, so awfully common these days. - diagonx, Apr 24, 2013

lol. - katydew, Apr 24, 2013

@diagonx, odontólogo viene del griego, y dentista del latino, o, a menos es lo que dice wikipedia. - annierats, Apr 24, 2013

Ok, diagonx, I believe you, thousands wouldn't I always heard ' dentista' in Spain. - annierats, Apr 24, 2013

I shall henceforth just speak of odontólogos, in a superior manner! - annierats, Apr 24, 2013

Actually annie, it's because, at college, the degree is called "odontología", so they graduate as "odontólogos", never "dentistas". In my case, I've never heard anyone say "dentista", again, it may be regional too - diagonx, Apr 24, 2013

Guinea's dentist should be proud as his teeth look great ;-))) His molars are in the back of his mouth.It really has to look like this ;-) - mcl020, Apr 24, 2013

I believe you, mlc, and diagonx too. - annierats, Apr 25, 2013

He may be beyond help now Pamela. - ray76, Apr 24, 2013

I am still capable of doing a great imitation of that look . - ray76, Apr 24, 2013

I may have looked like that several years ago when I went on Saturday night binges until the late a.m. hours of Sunday - diagonx, Apr 24, 2013

It is "Brian Blessed " great English actor. And champion imbiber. - ray76, Apr 24, 2013

Well, Brian sure knows how to impersonate a lost soul. I shall google him ;-) - mcl020, Apr 24, 2013

I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went right to my head. - Maria-Russell, Apr 24, 2013

Well good for you Maria, I was having one when i wrote this , that is what gave me the inspiration , the "Old song" from my youth . - ray76, Apr 25, 2013

Where ever I may roam, on land or sea or foam. You will always hear me singing this song, show me the way to go home. I'll probably be singing that all night now. ☺ - Maria-Russell, Apr 25, 2013
