NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS
No news is good news, except in a newspaper. –Evan Esar
Sept. 11 is NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS DAY. This blog is not a newspaper, so today I will go with all the NO NEWS I know because I know NO NEWS is GOOD NEWS so far as NO NEWS being GOOD NEWS goes. Assuming you are with me so far, let’s see where in the world NO NEWS takes us:
1. No noticias
2. Icksnay ewsnay
3. Nao noticias
4. Nessuna notizia
5. Keine nachrichten
6. Pas de nouvelles
7. Brak wiadomosci
8. Habersiz kalmak
9. Nihil nuntium
How many of those “No news” languages do you think you recognized? Take a fun-guess. Remember, this is not a test, so….
Just to prove I’m not going to hog all the answers, here’s a clue to #2:
So much No News for now; let us revel in the Good News.
Modo vincis, modo vinceris.

Great, Scott! As the post’s last line says in Latin, “You win some, you lose some” — and you won a majority.

Only 5 for sure … is 7 Polish?
This post intro sounds a bit like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on first base”!

You nailed the “Pole” position, Kate — 7 is indeed Polish. I already gave away Pig Latin as 2. Here’s how the rest line up:
1. Spanish 3. Portuguese 4. Italian 5. German 6. French 8. Turkish 9. Latin

well done you, the Deutsche was easy to pick … I’m better with the sound or accent of a language than the written word 🙂

Well, I got the Latin languages, including pig latin! Easy peasy- the others were “Greek to me” 😉

Clam kate, That’s one of my favorite routines. Our local radio station would always play it on opening day when I was a kid.

I worked with a well know radio presenter who was called “Groover” cos it was his theme song … they forgot his given name 🙂

That clip is from ROAD TO RIO (1947), one of the better films in the famous Bing Crosby-Bob Hope “Road” series.

Best song ever is from The Wiz sung by the wicked witch. “Don’t you bring me no bad news.” I think it is Trump’s theme song.

The problem is that Trump quickly re-labels bad news as fake news. It’s too bad the bad news of Trump being elected President wasn’t fake news.

No news is good news. Or may be good news. After all, no one plans a murder out loud.

Funny you should mention “murder out loud,” as it reminded me of a film called MURDER, HE SAYS (starring Fred MacMurray, who was the subject of my Aug. 30 post titled MAC). Here’s a funny scene from that film:

The Singing Sophomores is another new group you’ve introduced me to. I did an online search and was pleased to see they were quite famous back in the day, and rightly so.
