The only episode that had anything to do with colleges and Fraternity's was "Mars University" (1ACV11)

Episodes 6/7/and 8 from season 3 were "Bendless Love"(3ACV06)/"The Day The Earth Stood Stupid"(3ACV07)/ and "That's Lobstertainment"(3ACV08). None were anywhere near "Animal House" in plot.

University Mars that's it!!! Thanks.

With the intelligent hat for the monkey.

Come on, Benders old fraternity was meant to be a spin off of Animal house.

No, "Mars University". You can't play jumble with titles. There's one right answer only.

No gluh! But you stipulated a Season 3 episode between 6 and 8 of such design, of which their is no such thing. "Mars University" was early Season 2.

What ever!

In article ,

Hmm, you probably wouldn't get along with Haynes Lee over on alt.tv.simpsons, he gives an alterna-title every week. One time he even used his alterna-title as a source for a reference. The reference had nothing to do with the real title. Frankly, I think alterna-titles are confusing to people who really know what the episode is called.

No see his wasn't an alternate title. He just moved the words around like they are interchangeable lego blocks or something. You wouldn't call "War And Peace" "Peace and War" would you?

Gee Mike, switch to decaf, will ya?

Peace"

Actually, it shouldn't be called "War and Peace" either. It's "Voina i Mir" in russian and although the word "Mir" (originated from a meteorite that hit earth not long ago) now means both "peace" and "world", originally it was two different words - one meaning "peace", the other "world" or "society". After the language reform in the beginning of the century (two letters were dropped) the two words became the same. And original Tolstoi's title for "War and Peace" used the word that meant "world" or "society". So the translation "War and Peace" is plain wrong. It should be "War and The World".

Just kidding, of course. Interesting information and Mike's point still stands. You wouldn't call it "The World and War". I might, but then I'm a licensed dyslexic. Please don't try this at home!

BTW: The BBC dramatization of "War and Peace" (sic) is currently being posted in alt.binaries.sounds.audiobooks. It's ten tapes and they just started posting today. Terry Prachett's discworld volume 25 is posted.

That's an interesting tidbit. And a better name IMHO. Now I'm more interested in reading it. Don't ask me why I'm weird that way.

I wasn't refuting his point. Just there's no reason to bounce of the handle (feel free to say "ass" here) on account of titles.

On another note, odd coincidence - russian for "war" (voina) has exactly as many letters as "peace", while russian for "peace" (mir) has exactly as many letters as "war". It must be a sign.

Mike can get that way when he's provoked.

And Mir is now in as many pieces as the USSR. . .

Russian is a very difficult language, even after it's translated in to English. I've read the first two books (vol 1) of the Gulag Archipelago and the translation still took an effort to understand at times. Dostoyevsky's 'Notes from the Underground' was so difficult to get into that I gave up after a couple of chapters.

I bought the complete Gulag Archipelago in three hardback volumes and I'm determined to finally finish the entire series. Beyond that I don't plan on reading much more Russian literature.

Hell, we all can get this way when provoked :-).

I'd wager the numbers don't match. Plus unlike USSR they're not likely to get back together :-). Oops, I've said too much.

Methinks it's "especially after" rather than "even after". The translators don't seem to be doing their job. I saw enough of lousy Russian-English and English-Russian translations in contrast with some good ones to appreciate the dramatic effect the quality of translation makes. For instance, when I was a kid I started reading Edgar Allan Poe and couldn't stop. Later on I saw some other translation and it was unreadable. Even later I read his stories in english. I compared it to the translation I read first and it was really impressive. Not only it captured the mood and the style, the translators even managed to skillfully transfer the puns and various intentional mispronaunciations (such as in "Devil in the Belfy" and "Angel of the Odd").

Odd. I read some of it (in russian) and it went pretty easy. But I didn't find it interesting enough to read it in whole.

Well, yeah, Dostoevsky indeed can be a little heavy. But that's just him, not the language.

If the reunion is being handled by the same agency that's working on the Beatles and Led Zeppelin's reunion tours, it will probably be a long time. On the other hand, they may get The Who's agent, in which case, they will get together every few years, each time swearing that it's for one tour and that's it. But, instead of Russia, they'll have Ringo Starr, and it's won't be even close to the original.

I'm paraphrasing this from Billy Crystal's stand up appearance in Odessa: "For years, our government told us that you were the enemy and your government told you that we were the enemy. Now we both know that wasn't true. It was the French."

If you can read and understand Russian than that's correct. Since I am limited to English, even a bad translation is better.

I once read an article where they discussed the translation of a few sentences from French to English. There were at least three different option for the name of a single street.

When it's possible, I like to have two translations handy so I can reference anything that doesn't make sense.

So did I. Modern writers seem to have lost the distinction between horror and terror. Sure, if you show enough people getting killed, the audience will react, but I don't think it's nearly as creative.

Have you ever heard The Allen Parson's Project's "Tales of Mystery and Adventure"? It's a collection of songs based on the works of Poe.

Getting puns to translate and still make sense is very difficult.

Partly it was the translation. The wording just seemed rough at times, as if the original Russian phrasing had no direct English equivalent. Also, I had to keep checking the glossary. The references to government agencies and geographic locations were hard to keep track of otherwise. If they were referring to similar things in the US, I would know what they mean.

My Grandparents came from somewhere in the USSR in the 1920s. They were rumored to had run a hotel, possibly in Minsk. My grandfather left, got to the US, earned enough money to bribe the right people and went back to get his family. Apparently, they were concerned about possibly being caught and returned, so they never spoke much about anything before arriving in New York. I started reading The Gulch to get a view of their history.

I downloaded it and read the first chapter. I'll finish it shortly. I will no doubt read some more Russian lit, but after The Gulch, I will be taking a break. I still have some Chekhov, two books by Khrushchev, one by Gorbachev, and some more Solzenitsyn on the shelf waiting. I used to do a lot more recreational reading, but now I have to read so much for work (I'm a computer tech) that I can't.

Why would KGB work on those? Damn! I've said too much again :-).

Nobody ever says Italy.

Yep, that's how it is.

Well, frankly, I didn't care much for his horror stories. But I really loved his oddball ("Angel of the Odd", "Devil in the Belfy", etc), detective ("Purloined Letter", "Gold Bug", etc) and psychoanalitic ("Imp of the Perverse", "Telltale Heart", etc) ones. Many of the horror ones, on the other hand, just went over my head.

I don't listen to music much.

Exactly. And they nailed it. That's how good those guys were.

Ah, deserters :-). Good move. Had they stayed you might've never been born.

These books aren't normally called "literature" :-).

Yeah, that always gets in a way. But as we say in Russia "If vodka interferes with your studying, to hell with that studying".

True, it's stretching it a bit. I wouldn't believe them any more than I'd believe American leaders. But two sets of lies may shed more light on the truth than one.

I saw a similar saying on a poster when I was in college:

"Dope will get you through times with no money, better than money will get you through times with no dope."

(feel free to paraphrase)
