No prob, your welcome
The first one I can tell you part of it.
anata yameta kourosai. anata is you, yameru is the verb to stob so polite form for stop is yame or in this case w/ the past tense yameta and I'm not sure what kourosai is doing.
why is doshite and whynot/by any means is doshitemo. So hope that helps you out. 
mata, Ookami yori
Suren, I be aimen to be misbehaven here

So I am WAAY too lazy to read everything that has already been posted. Sorry! But I got to the point where you were talking about mixing languages.
Last summer I had the fantastic opporunity to live in Germany with my cousin. I spent two weeks in Italy before hand--and learned some Italian phrases--and then went to France and ended in Germany for the rest of the summer.
Talk about mixing languages!! I got so, SO messed up! I was saying "grazie" in France, "enstchuldegung" in Rome (German for "excuse me"), and I have a funny story about trying to order food at McDonald's in Frerman(French/German--my own creation). And then I had to come home and speak English!
Wacky fun!

Mattie, ouch!
One thing I did like about ordering McDonald's in France was the beer! I got a Big Mac meal with a beer! In a cup with a straw, even! How shiny is that!

A beer in a cup? With a straw?! Haha! I can imagine cheap wine or something like that in France, but beer... That's funny! After I came home I got a job in a restaruant and worked with a whole bunch of people who speak Spanish. That was fun! My brain has been so muddled by foreign languages--not that that's a bad thing, it's actually made for an entertaining time.
Wacky fun!

Serenity, normally I am not a beer drinker (Guinness being the exception, but as my brother calls it, it's more of a beer milkshake), but in the US, you can't get alcoholic beverages at a drive-through...it was a novel experience!
Mattie, wine...hmm. What wine would go best with a Big Mac and fries?

Tristan, I'd probably get a beer, too, just cuz I could and I don't like beer at all.
In Florida, they have these "drive thru" beverage places. They sell soda and chips and things, but mostly they sell beer and wine coolers and whatnot. The place is like a big garage, but with cases of beer on the sides, instead of all the mechanic equipment. So, you could literally drive inside, roll down your window, tell the colege kid working how many cases of Bud you wanted,he'd go grab them and load them in your car and then you'd drive away.
The whole concept just cracked me up. I mean, you don't even have to get out of your car!!
