Just read about a party here in Montreal called "Wish you were dead", where guests are invited to show up dressed as their least favorite living celebrity (Celine Dion and Courtney Love are listed in the suggestions), so this got me thinking about a variation on your brand party where you dress as the brand you would like to see die. Microsoft pops into my mind. Any others?</p> Like I was saying, "The make-up of make-up artists" slogan on your lab coat.

"What time is it" in German is "Was uhr?" or "What watch"

10 O'clock is "Zein uhr" or "10 watch".

The last line is "Such watch!" as in "That time already!"

I am not sure how that translates into Polish.
