While we already have Google Translate the above passage and the Mishearing Game, how about a fusion of the two?

First person posts a passage, the second person translates that into another language and back (ex. English -> German -> English) and posts the result, the third person does the same to that, and so on. This will go on for 15 posts, and the last person will post a new passage, continuing the game. For example:

  • Troper 1: According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

  • Troper 2: According to all known laws of flight, there is no way a bee can fly. The wings are too small to lift his fat body off the ground. The bee still flies, of course. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

  • Troper 3: As we all know, according to the laws of flight, there is no way a bee can fly. The wings were too small to lift his fat body off the ground. The bee still has flies. Because bees don't care about what humans think is impossible.

Pretty much the only rule here is to avoid posting overly-long passages (Google Translate has a 3900 character limit).

Anyways, let's begin!


He's gonna take you back to the past,

To play the shitty games that suck ass

He'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear

He'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkilled skunk and down it with beer

He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard

He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd

He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd

He's the Angry Video Game Nerd

1. Well, as for the second… You talked to my captain earlier, and he seemed pretty decent, no? Including me and my snail, my crew is precisely seven members strong. We haven't looted, plundered or pillaged the entire way here and as far as I can tell they haven't ever hurt any civilians, period. All we're doing is flying a Jolly Roger and stocking up before we go to the Grand Line. But hey! None of that matters to you. Doesn't matter to the Marines. Our flag is black, so we must be evil! So come on! Lock me up! Toss me in Impel Down to be tortured far more cruelly than most pirates could even conceive of. I mean… That is your job, right?

We haven't committed any looting, robbery or looting throughout the area and as far as I know they've never hurt civilians, period. We’re just flying in from Jolly Roger and doing some shopping before we hit the Grand Line. But hey! None of that matters to you. It doesn't matter to the ocean. Our flag is black, so we must be evil! So please! Shut me down! Throw me into Impel Town to be tortured more horribly than any bandit can imagine. I mean... that's your job, right?

1. How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,

How neatly spread his claws,

And welcome little fishes in

With gently smiling jaws!

Do good to his bright eyes,

And you poured out the waters of the Nile

All over the gold bars!

He seems to be smiling happily,

She spread her eyes so gracefully,

And welcome the little fish .

With a gentle smile!
