Where are you getting all these crazy shots from Margherite ? - ray76, Dec 8, 2013
Gracias RC and M! - Jraider, Dec 8, 2013
Who is it? - annierats, Dec 8, 2013
Hi annie and ray. It's Jane Fonda annie. Ray I didn't know anything much about the Vietnam war so I started reading articles. Hanoi Jane popped up in almost every one of them. Did you know that the POW's she was supposed to have turned in all said that - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
the story was bunkum. She never did what the press claimed she did. Someone interviewed them all and all the stories were the same. I am trying to find out who started the story. - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
Interesting story :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 8, 2013

Miss Jane, we are hearing that Mr. President is very Hannoi'ed with you. Not listening, not listening...

Sra. Jane, hemos oído que El Presidente está muy enfadado con usted. No escucho, no escucho...

I wondered if anyone would recognize that as Jane Fonda: ) - Ranman, Dec 8, 2013
Kinda fonda of her Margherite???? - Jraider, Dec 8, 2013
Good. Also: "hemos oído que.." - RelaxingCup, Dec 8, 2013
Thank you RC...'oímos' was wrong on purpose, kind of like speaking another language lol but I will change it. - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
@Jraider. I was trying to learn about the Vietnam war and her name and photo came up repeatedly. I searched further into it...did you know that the POW's she is supposed to have harmed all said the story about what she did wasn't true? Someone interviewed - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
all of them and they all concurred that the 'story' the press put out was an outright lie. It's so interesting...I'm trying to find out who put the 'traitor' story out there first. - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
Very interesting Margherite, we appreciate all your efforts in bringing this to us. - pmikan-pam, Dec 9, 2013

It's funny that Mensa is the name of the club that only accepts people with high I-Q's: ) - Ranman, Dec 8, 2013
Hmmm... Today I have learned the meaning of "Mensa Club." - Raja-jani, Dec 8, 2013

In Spain we say "estúpida" or "tonta". - RelaxingCup, Dec 8, 2013

Superglue. - annierats, Dec 8, 2013
Those devils were very imaginative. - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
"(Ellos) pegaron mis dedos a mis orejas" or "(Ellos) me pegaron los dedos a las orejas". If you use the pronoun "me" you are kind of implying that they are 'your' fingers and ears. Otherwise, use "mis". Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Dec 9, 2013

She certainly didn't entertain the troops. I've just finished reading about her and all I can say is Ufffff. - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
Good! Also: "Nada de disparos, por favor" (armas is understood by the context). :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 8, 2013
Gracias, RC. - Raja-jani, Dec 8, 2013

These idiots think their fancy helmets are going to protect them, but what they really need is some good tinfoil hats.

Estos idiotas piensan que sus cascos de lujo van a protegerlos, pero lo que realmente necesitan es algunos buenos sombreros de papel de aluminio.

I'll say! - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
Good! I would say: "unos buenos sombreros.." :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 8, 2013
I had "unos" before I checked with a translator. That'll teach me! - AnnRon, Dec 8, 2013

Yo no quiero ser el hombre de hojalata, prefiero ser el espantapájaros.

I don't want to be the tin man, I want to be the scarecrow.

Si tengo que ir a mi tumba, prefiero hacerlo sin hacerme sorda.

If I have to go to my grave, I prefer to do it without going deaf.

Yes, you would need your hearing to listen for Gabriel's horn. :-) - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
Should be "quedarme sorda". The rest is correct. My suggestion to make it sound more natural: "Si tengo que irme a la tumba..". Un saludo! - RelaxingCup, Dec 9, 2013

Para mi es mejor que ellos piensen que soy estoy una tonta idiota que la verdad, no entiendo nada de los que ellos están diciendo. Look at this crazy woman she has no idea what we are talking about.

It is better for me that they think I'm a crazy idiot than the truth, I don't understand anything they are saying. Mira a la loca, ella no tiene ni idea acerca de lo que qué estamos hablando.

Hola amigo!! - 0095ca4c, Dec 8, 2013
I would say "La primera versión de" or "La versión anterior de". Otherwise perfect. You can use "cogería" or "atraparía" instead of agarraría here, If you want to. Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Dec 9, 2013
