How do you say "shit heap" in Esperanto?


I don't have much to say about Idol this week. I found Chikezie kind of annoying, but with nothing like the red-hot intensity that I disliked Amanda. He was going to go sooner or later, so I guess there's no time better than the present. Ken Levine's roundup is pretty funny--especially the bit where he pretends that Jason is a girl (and was on ecstasy).

I'm starting to think this Tintin movie is going to be a disaster. A week or so ago, it was announced that Spielberg was going to direct the first one--which I interpreted at the time as good news. However, they managed to spoil it this week with the announcement (though it may be more of a rumor) that the annoying drum-playing kid from Love, Actually is going to play Tintin. Blistering barnacles! This will not do. Relatedly, the jury's out on whether Andy Serkis will convince as Captain Haddock, though I'm leaning toward no. No other casting just yet.

In happier news, the Coen Bros. are turning Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union into a film. As it happens, I am currently reading YPU, and it is simply overwhelming in its awesomeness. It's dark but also pretty funny, which ought to be right up the Coen's alley (so to speak).

Reporting in from our Canadian bureau, Marty has some really boring stuff in comments to the last post about human rights in Canada. He also taunts me with a link to a Mark Steyn article that I will not be reading.

And now that Hoss has kindly answered your question about 'shitheap', you'll soon be on the way to being able to read the whole article about Tintin in Esperanto:
http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin%C4%89jo
(where you can find some of the other expressions that Capt. Haddock used too).
Possibly you'll even soon be reading the three Tintin books translated into Esperanto! It's not too difficult.

That's this secret, hidden "the truth about abs" that everyone
has Ьeen alluding to. With almost endleѕs colorizing schemeѕ available along աitɦ
touǥɦening fillers and aԀditives, paints have become much more durаble and versatile
compared to the original whitewash.
