I mowed lawns. Rather than bag the cuttings, I mulched. The S&P refers to Saturday Part-time.

Damn! I was close, but no cigar this time.

OK, time to give it try myself:

I used to be a French chef and cellarman in the greatest restaurant in town. My achievements in that establishment earned me several awards and prizes, among which the much coveted three stars. People came to that restaurant from all over Europe. I was even honoured to once have a man coming from a remote country to shoot a documentary on my work. That restaurant is still of international reputation to this day.

Now there's some serious claim-inflating going on here!

I was a well reknowned critic of recorded media imagery sold for mass review & enjoyment. People would seek my out for not only my perspective and opinion but also for my financial advice towards make the most cost effective acquisition for their personal enjoyment. My other core responsibilities included mass marketing, portfolio management of all current and dated materials for dispaly and client acquistion, handling client concerns and questions, as well as interior design and presentation of the showroom floor.

A clerk at 'Best Buy'?

Close but my inventory base was not that broad.

The life of Christopher N. Geary encompasses many amazing achievements. He was the first to bring the art of Kempo/Kenpo to Omaha. He was teaching by age 23 and by age 27 his success as an instructor, martial artist and businessman helped him begin to create a network of independently owned and operated martial arts schools. Geary is part of a lineage that dates back to the Japanese Samurai and the monks of the Shaolin Temple in China (525 A.D.)

"Geary is a great martial artist and technician," Hanshi Angel says, "He has a good mind for business and is devoted to the students and the furthering of martial arts."

A French McDonalds?

"Bonjour materf**ker... un Royale avec Fromage,(c'est systeme metrique)! Je suis un chien de resevoire. C'est une burger tasty!"

Am I close?

Depends what you meant to come close to...

Not bad at all, actually.

The French for "mother" is just "mère", that "mater" of yours is really Latin. A Frenchman should be able to understand it though. The Donnies' in which I worked was a British one, not a French one, but since you asked... As stated by Tarentino, the quarterpounder isn't called so in France because my countrymen wouldn't have a clue about what that means. Strangely enough they didn't translate it as a "125-grammer": the French call it a "royal cheese'" instead (yes, with "cheese" in English ). For some obscure grammatical reasons, we don't need the "with". I guess Tarentino added it so it wouldn't sound so strange in English. The next sentence is nearly flawless (except "reservoir" is spelt in French exactly as in English: no need for that extra E). As for the last one, the true French translation for "tasty" would "goûteux", but that's a highly uncommon word in French, you'd sound posh as they come if you were to say "c'est un burger goûteux".
"Delicieux" would be more like it.

Go raibh mah-agat(am I close? ) for your attention.
