Fans of Kristin Hersh, 50 Foot Wave and Throwing Muses

When you marry, it is necessary to continue the brewery.

Something silly for the summer... Just found out about this utterly useless site. It translates any English sentence into Japanese, then back into English, then into Japanese again and so on... well, you get the idea. Of course, the only thing that came to my mind was Kristin lyrics.

That would be the first line of "Vicky's Box", right? The other two are a mystery to me, although I do like the second one.; ▶ Reply to This

"Lonely is as lonely does, lonely is an eyesore" ?

3. To build a boat, the growth of the grass family, build a mask

I'm stumped.; ▶ Reply to This

No equilibrium for this one...

We break don't we break don't we
We will not break or break us,
We would not break, or break,
We do not break it-or-nothing,
What we do nothing,
We have nothing, what
We shall have nothing
We shall have no
We shall not be
We do not
We do not

XD

... wait I think I found an even better one. I am seriously crying laughing. I did not make this one up, try it:

Nothing ever spoiled on me
I also indulged in anything
I indulged in something
Spoiled something
Be spoiled
Pfft
Divorce
Divorce

That said,

"We break don't we break don't we
We will not break or break us,
We would not break, or break,
We do not break it-or-nothing,
What we do nothing,
We have nothing, what
We shall have nothing
We shall have no
We shall not be
We do not
We do not"

should totally be an actual song.

Look up, a clear blue sky
But, seeing the clear blue sky
However, the clear blue sky

and when I put in "I could be a smack freak and hate society" it immediately equilibriated with "I hate society and smack freak"; ▶ Reply to This
