I don't speak French but this is from Alta Vista Translator:

Hello. My name is Rob and I from Montreal. I do not speak any English, thus I cannot understand a word only you say. This is not a camera, this is a mobilophone.

 

[mwc1996]

it wasn't that funny.

 

[mkt]

this is the camera.. Sony Cybershot U60... looks a LOT like a cellphone, doesn't it :drevil:

it wasn't meant to be funny... it was what I said while she was speaking with me and looking straight at the camera..

[mwc1996]

[StevenT]

Did she scream and pitch a fit about photography?

 

[mkt]

the he was 2 feet behind her to the right (my right, their left)... and he was giving me the staredown...

 

[StevenT]

I'll leave the rest to my partner in crime, Bwana Bob

 

[BwanaBob]

That was the best!...

So while the kids were asking questions acting like a bit of a deterant, I'm looking at these 'hanging' things...and Rob is talking this French stuff!

The look on her face was hilarious!

Then he RIPS their price list off the table!

:lol:

 

[will_hsv]

We need more... I am sitting here refreshing the page waiting for the rest of the story.

 

[BwanaBob]

Hold tight!...

I just got in... And I'm getting barraged w/ Aol IM!

 

[lamarvenoy]

andddddddd.......

 

[mkt]

we hit them up strategically...

the 2 kids went up and started asking questions while I'm in the booth next door... then Bwana Bob starts looking at the dangling thingies...

then I walk in and go straight for the displays... I pick up a few items, look interested... and the lady, Janice, starts talking to me... I give her a clueless look and start speaking in a roughly accented French (just in case she happened to speak French... think the French equivalent of Geordie English). She grabs a hard plastic pricelist for me to look at while I look at displays... then I say "betta" to see a betta bowl.. while she points at it, I attempt to snag some shots (unsuccesfully ... effing camera wouldn't focus).

As I leave, I'm asking her for a business card in French... no luck. She wouldn't give me one... so I "accidentally push" their price list off the table and leave....

 

[BwanaBob]

OK

I got there early, about 10 till 2...and Rob calls me running late (a little mishap I'll tell ya about later)

In the meantime PhotoDave comes up to me and starts doing a little research on me, and of course has no idea who I am, untill Rob calls me on the cell! Classic!

Anyways, we scope out the booth and plan our attack...

I brought my girls w/ me to add a little distraction..which worked out nice cause they didn't know where to put their attention.

So, I'm looking at these rack-things, and Rob's taking pic after pic!

The girls are walking behind the booth, and the guy freaks and asks me if theres anything he can do to help us...

Understand, we went up to the booth seperate! Me and the girls, and mkt...
