Answer 1

That was just a leaking respirator hose that made that noise. Ha sido solo una fuga de la manguera del respirador lo hizo ese ruido..

O M G...R O F L...and I can't stop. This has to be the best caption yet! - 0095ca4c, Nov 6, 2013

That's the one: ) - Ranman, Nov 6, 2013

jajaja - Aranjuez12, Nov 6, 2013

jejejjeejjejejeje - Mainer, Nov 6, 2013

Gets my vote ! - annierats, Nov 6, 2013

"Fue" or "Ha sido" + "sólo una fuga de la manguera del respirador lo hizo ese ruido." Jajaja - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Fixed it thank you RC ,also thanks folks ,glad you liked it. - heliotropeman, Nov 6, 2013

OmG Helio that is too funny. - pmikan-pam, Nov 7, 2013

There was not any family pressure on my decision. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 8, 2013

Congratulations Helio Yeah - pmikan-pam, Nov 8, 2013

Answer 2

No sé si es mejor oprimar los botones en la pared o en otro señor. Los dos tienen luces bonitas.

I don´t know whether to push the buttons on the wall or on the other guy. Both have pretty lights.

He could get into serious trouble pushing someone's buttons. :=) - 0095ca4c, Nov 5, 2013

I think he needs to button up. - Aranjuez12, Nov 6, 2013

"No sé si presionar los botones de la pared o los del otro (tipo). Ambos tienen luces bonitas." :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 3

I know that everyone thinks his own parents are strange, but my dad takes the prize.

Sé que todo el mundo piensa que sus propios padres son extraños, pero mi papá se lleva el premio.

Yes... - annierats, Nov 6, 2013

That's good! We also say: "se lleva la palma." (he takes the cake) :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Thanks! I wondered whether Spanish had "takes the cake," but not knowing, decided that "takes the prize" was safer. - AnnRon, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 4

Where is that Heliotropeman?

¿Dónde está ese Heliotropeman?

you beat me to it. lol - osas-baby, Nov 6, 2013

:D - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 5

Some things even enemies have trouble telling you.

Hay cosas que incluso los enemigos tienen problemas para decirle a usted.

"Hay cosas que incluso los enemigos tienen problemas en decirte (a ti) / decirle (a usted)."

Yours is 100% understandable. I would say: "Hay cosas que incluso los enemigos tienen problemas en decirte (a ti) / decirle (a usted)." Saludos! - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Gracias amigo - ian-hill, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 6

My father wasn't happy when he learned that I wasn't interested in working the family business.

Mi padre no estaba contento cuando descubrió que a mi no me interesa trabajar en los negocios de la familia.

Almost. It sounds strange to use "no estaba contento" here. Try: "Mi padre no se alegró cuando descubrió que a mi no me interesa trabajar en los negocios de la familia." - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 7

One of them is having a bad hair day. Can you tell which?

Uno de ellos está teniendo un día greñudo. ¿Puede decir cuál?

I cannot. :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 8

Two Black Eyed Peas in an elevator pod.

Dos fríjoles de ojos negrosSon como dos gotas de agua en un ascensor vaina.

Good one I like black eyed peas - pmikan-pam, Nov 5, 2013

The singing group Pam or the veggies? - 0095ca4c, Nov 6, 2013

says one of them to the other..... - Aranjuez12, Nov 6, 2013

I get the meaning and the translation is perfect. But the Spanish version does not hold the same meaning. In Spain we say: "Son (como) dos gotas de agua" - They're (like) two water drops. :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Thank you R C. I was trying to tie in the black colour and the group. I guess it's not always possible. - 0095ca4c, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 9

Maybe he won't notice if I keep texting "awkard". Tal vez no se cuenta se sigo escribiendo en los mensajes, difícil.

He looks like he just has to think 'awkward'...no phone necessary. - 0095ca4c, Nov 5, 2013

Jeje, I think you are right but he is hiding it with his hands - pmikan-pam, Nov 5, 2013

it's almost printed on his forehead. - Aranjuez12, Nov 6, 2013

My guess: "Tal vez no se dé cuenta si sigo escribiendo "awkard" en los mensajes." I'm not sure of getting the whole meaning/intention, sorry. - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Thanks Aran, it's like a cloud with awkard spelled in it. - pmikan-pam, Nov 6, 2013

You did great RC, my answers I hard to interpret. - pmikan-pam, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 10

¡No debo olvidar la grasa! Siempre olvido algo de la lista de compras. mmm. la cara de eso chico me es familiar.

I must not forget grease! I always forget something of the grocery list. mmm, that kid's face looks familiar to me.

"On" or "from" the grocery list. - Mainer, Nov 6, 2013

Is he sort of squeaking? - annierats, Nov 6, 2013

:-) For cooling purposes maybe? Good one Aran - pmikan-pam, Nov 6, 2013

"¡No debo olvidar la grasa! Siempre olvido algo de la lista de la compra. Mmm... La cara de eso chico me es/resulta familiar." Very good one! - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

More grease Jeje - pmikan-pam, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 11

Si no muevo quizás pensará que esté en un museo de cera...

If I don´t move perhaps he will think he is in a wax museum.

(I am not sure if "estar" to be should be used in subjunctive here. Could anyone explain this to me?)thanks you!

jejeje well he's into a surprise. - Aranjuez12, Nov 6, 2013

"Si no me muevo (present indicative) quizás piense (present subjunctive) que está (indicative again) en un museo de cera." You use subjunctive with "pensar" because you are expressing doubt/uncertainty. ("quizás" is the key word). - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Let's do it without the word "quizás": "Si no me muevo (present indicative) pensará (future indicative) que está (still indicative) en un museo de cera.". Now there is no 'perhaps' because I'm sure he will think that. That's why subjunctive is not needed. - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 12

Man: Why did I leave home today?

Hombre: ¿Por qué hizo salir de casa hoy?

I think both of them are thinking that :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Jajaja. This should be: "¿Por qué salí de casa hoy?" or "¿Por qué habré salido de casa hoy?" - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

thanks. - osas-baby, Nov 7, 2013

I was thinking that - pmikan-pam, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 13

Oye primo, te hablan!

Helio they are talking to you.

Hola - pmikan-pam, Nov 5, 2013

hola como estas - Rey_Mysterio, Nov 5, 2013

;) - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

=] - Rey_Mysterio, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 14

Al fin nos conocemos, Helio, ¡encantada, mucho gusto!

Helio, at last we have got to met! Nice to see you!

Uh oh, be careful - pmikan-pam, Nov 6, 2013

"Al fin nos conocemos, Helio, ¡encantada, mucho gusto!". I think that "encantada" and "mucho gusto" are equivalent but that's fine: You're being doubly nice. :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Seeing what he looks like I thought I might need to be very careful and very nice, I feel uneasy.. - annierats, Nov 6, 2013

Answer 15

Nunca me siento seguro con un hombre que no tiene sombrero. quien no tener

Pero entonces ¡ Sin embargo !

Todo el mundo son tontos excepto usted y yo, pero no estoy tan seguro sobre usted .

I never feel safe with a man who does not have a hat. But, then !

All the world are fools except you and me , but i am not so sure about you.

I think it should me "usted y yo" ha this is funny! (and so true) meh meh meh - dewclaw, Nov 6, 2013

Thanks dewclaw , glad to be of service. - ray76, Nov 6, 2013

Hats are important, good one Rey Ray - pmikan-pam, Nov 6, 2013

"Nunca me siento seguro con un hombre que no tiene/lleva (un) sombrero." + "¡Sin embargo!" (I think this is the best for 'but, then'). Third one is okay. Thumbs up for you. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013

Thanks RC, I have never spoken Spanish so feel uncomfortable with " sin embargo" and a few other such phrases. - ray76, Nov 6, 2013

Well. Let your hair down and jump into those phrases. I will try to catch them all. - RelaxingCup, Nov 6, 2013
