FAMILIAR FACES and speaking English! Surprised???


Here in Québec, Les Têtes à claques are really well known.
Now they have been 'exported' to English speaking countries
 by the magic of the internet and YouTube of course.

In my opinion, not as funny though.
But, you see, that's what you get when you translate,
even when you are professionals. 
As a result, there is always something missing, 
always something not quite right!
 The idiosyncracy * of the original work 
which includes cultural references.
Nevertheless, other people get to enjoy 
this French Canadian humour!
So here it is for you,  the famous and most popular of the group:
The Halloween 'sketch'.



HAPPY HALLOWEEN to YOU all!
Suzanne 


* IDIOSYNCRACY:  langue ou un comportement 
                                     particulier à un individu ou un groupe
** NOTE: If you feel like doing some crossword
