This was extremely well done, and once again the robot poet drone has shown advanced adaptation to his surroundings. Grape drank in hand, he has climbed the barbed wired fence between cultures. /salute 7/7

I don't have a clue what the hell you said but I will defend with my life your right to say it. Great Job. I've worked with some guys who would slip in and out of the slang mode without batting an eye.

Congrats Robo!!! I can do Maltese slang but not your type of slang, so this contest was a no no for me. For you it must have been plain sailing easy.... you just let it roll off your tongue. But at least I can understand what you're saying...I dig it. // paul
