Toilet Humor and Puns

My cousin posted this on Facebook.  I think it is brilliant.


Loosely translated as "When ya gotta go, ya gotta go".  More literally, "For when you have to go (shit) and go"

My grandmother apparently made all sorts of puns about her own name (Agar).  And about the seagull known in the Azores as the Cagarro.  They make a pretty funny noise, in addition to whatever else their name may indicate.

Random FB Poetry

Taken from a page called "Gosto de ti, e entao?"  And Bing Translate.

E o melhor lugar do mundo, ainda é dentro do teu abraço. É aquele que eu gosto de vestir. Que me protege e suporta. O que me acolhe o coração. O que me aquece a alma.
Dentro do teu abraço o mundo pára. E eu páro com ele.
And the best place in the world, is still in your hug. Is the one that I like to dress up. That protects and supports me. What is the heart. That warms the soul.
Inside your hug the world stops. And I stop with him.

Associação de Palavras


Poetry Post on Facebook
by "Associação de Palavras"
written by Eugénio de Andrade

Entre os teus lábios
é que a loucura acode
desce à garganta,
invade a água.

No teu peito
é que o pólen do fogo
se junta à nascente,
alastra na sombra.

Nos teus flancos
é que a fonte começa
a ser rio de abelhas,
rumor de tigre.

Da cintura aos joelhos
é que a areia queima,
o sol é secreto, cego o silêncio.

Deita-te comigo.
Ilumina meus vidros.
Entre lábios e lábios
toda a música é minha.

Eugénio de Andrade

(Translation)
Between your lips is that madness acode descends to the neck, breaks into the water.

On your chest is that pollen from the fire joins the nascent, growing in the shade.

In your flanks is that the source begins to be bee River, Tiger rumor.

From the waist to the knees is the sand, the Sun is burning secret, blind silence.

Pour yourself with me.
Illuminates my glasses.
Between the lips and lips all the music is mine.

Eugénio de Andrade (Translated by Bing)
