It just can't be done. Intertran makes this out of it: Sut mine rådne onions! Knep! Tudefjæs!! Spasser!! Søslange! You featuring a goat and you smell from wee! You are a kaempe heap shit shit! You smell from aged havmåge fisse! I kneppede your mother yesterday! Knækbrød! Smørrebrød!!! So gammel means old? That can't be right. >> Alternatively you could just learn Danish. > > Do I look like a savage to you? > You don't have long flowing hair like Pixel. So yes, you DO look like a savage. -- Danny.
