Tuesday night – Äffle_und_Pferdle

Little monkey and little horse…

my friend Markus L told me about them at dinner . .they wre born the same year as I was .. 1959…

they are animals that came up between cartoon features..  little like our Rocky and Bullwinkle..

but these guys had full on Schwabish accents.. The super strong regional dialect from around Stuttgart , Boeblingen , Tubingen.. the accent they have is so think that it almost sounds like another language to me..

 

Ive just spent 30 minutes of valuable sleep time trying to find a you tube video of them saying something like this I heard

horse : “how are you””

Monkey “im fine”

hore : “thats good”

monkey  no if I were good, i would be better”

I haven’t been able to find it.. it doesnt help at all tat their dialog is written in an accent.. .. ie.. its intentionally misspelled to  make it sound like the spoken accent  (eg. THank  Ha for “hi”, go’n for “going”)

I never found the one I wanted..but these guys are pretty funny.. for the 15 seconds or so they have…

 

 


I love them.. but I just fell asleep
more tomorrow

nite all. nite sam
