Alector, BlueScrab, Freaky?

Having taken two years of high-school pidgin German, I thought I'd browse the "Abe's Homepage" site yesterday. It's got some nice stuff, but nothing really outstanding - except for a catalogue of Oddworld merchandise.
However, I couldn't quite understand the text at the bottom of the "Shop" page.
My question is this: could any one of you read the page and tell me whether or not I can order those items in America?

Hi
Nice from you Freaky but Alector and me can this too!You don´t need it to make it.
Alector and me can translate the whole site for you, Oddomatic, if you want of course.
Alector saw this site and translated this for a friend a short time ago.

Bye, TheBlueScrab & Alector

Why´d run away?
Don´t you like my style??
Why don´t you come and play, I guarantee you a great big smile.
I come from the imagination, and I´m here stricly by your invocation..so what´d you say?
Why don´t we dance a while?
Cause' I know what you feel boy.
I know just what you feel boy.
You call me and I come a-runnin.
I turn the music on I bring the fun in.

I can bring whole city`s to ruin, and still have time to get a soft shoe in.

Now, we´re partying, that´s what it´s all about!

I'm siding with Alector on that one; translation programs tend to distort the meaning of their target sites.
But since Blue and Alector are being so goshdarned nice about it, I'll just wait 'til you guys can get around to it. I only need the "Shop" page translated, though.
Thanks a lot!

Ok, Oddomatic!
When you go to the site (Oddworld shop), you can see brown coffers, on the first coffer, you can order T-Shirts, on the second coffer SoulStormBrew, on the third coffer an Abe Statue (it's really expensive for the little figure!), on the fourth coffer Posters, and on the fifth coffer the game Exoddus with the signature from Lorne Lanning (ca. $125)!

On every coffer are little caskets with a number in it. There you type the quantity (for example 3 bottles SoulStormB.)

Then you go down, there is a formular, you must fill it (of course )

Vorname= first name
Nachname=last name
Straße = street
Plz/ Ort= Postal code/ location
Land= country
email.. just type your e-mail adress
Geburtsdatum= birth date
Bezahlung über..= payment via..

Then there comes:
Bankeinzug= bank collection
Vorauskasse= prepayment
Nachname= per last name
________________________________________________

When you typed "Bankeinzug" or "Vorauskasse", you must fill in the next formular:

Bankinstitut= Bank
Bankleitzahl= Bank code
Kontonummer = account number
Kontoinhaber= account holder

Then comes the sentence: Ich ermächtige maxupport, den Bestellwert von meinem Konto abzubuchen: Ja = [b] i authorize maxupport, the value of ordered goods debit a sum of my account : yes (<~~ is this sentence gOod so?)
Then comes two buttons: Bestellen= order or Neueingabe= reentry
The next text is about the forwarding expenses.

After the order you'll receive an acceptance of order within the next 24 hours.
The forwarding expenses for the foreign country costs ca. $7.50 and just results from
the prepayment (Eurocheque).
From a value of goods about $100 are the forwarding expenses free.
The merchandise will be send per air mail.

Oh, man....i was too tired to translate this...i hope you'll understand it *yawn*

Ha, thanks a ton, Alector, that's wonderful. I really, really appreciate it.
This is, as PinkHaired might say, mad bacon and eggs and a couple o' waffles with apple-butter and maple syrup and a cup of fresh Jamaican Blue coffee and some 100% pure Florida Orange Juice and some buttermilk biscuits and a side of country ham and the greasy-yet-delicious homefried potatoes (read: "quite nice").
