Roger that, Houston....we Americans are guilty of thinking that we are the center of the universe, as I found out firsthand on both of my Europe trips (and also recently, right here on the board). We (I) got some learnin' to do...

Arto - I tried to email you before, but in your profile, if you click on "email", you get a message that says, "Sorry! This user has requested that they not receive emails through this board" or something like that. Does it come up different on your screen?

F.( what the hell does that F stand for...?)SCOTTIE:
My screen said just the same thing as yours. It´s just that I was so goddam DUMB that I didn´t check that out before saying that the adress was visible...well now it is.

DON SAMA: I forgot the relativity of Finnish and Hungarian.
Domo arigato gosiema****a, for reminding me. Actually we have about two words in common, so we are not THAT close. Some of the grammar might be similar, but it doesn´t help as the vocabulary is pure sanscrite....
So it wouldn´t be an easy job me to learn Hungarian, either.

PS. to my great surprise and even greater fun, the program which moderates ( = sencors ) the posts did a vey funny thing:
my transliteration of Japanese contained the letters S, H, I and T in between the last word....and the result can be read above...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Aloe: A Hungarian told me that the vocabularies for hunting terminology had similarities, since there was no great evolution in the activity

Don: did you mean before or after the black gun powder was replaced with smokeless?

Good start Ed.

You can order beer in 6 languages! But you also have to pay for it and get rid of it in a socially appropriate manner. This is as far as I can get.

Cuanto cuestas los cervesas? Donde estan los servicios?

Ah well, in most of the bars in Europe - especially tourist destinations - they will give you a little printed till receipt. Look at bottom line, look at numbers on cash in pocket - match up latter with former. NO language needed! Just lots of please and thankyou.

Ed betrays the fact that he has been to the Greek Islands where "Amstel" is synonymous with beer - it's the only place I drink it, not in Amsterdam! Evharisto!

And I know at least one curse word or obscenity in each of the above (plus one in Arabic).

Ed - wir wissen das Sie viel essen und trinken kann, aber....konnen Sie im Deutsch BELCHEN?

Errrr, DURRL, I'm gonna needa translation on that one, buddy!

Bruce Lindfield · #29 04-18-2005, 02:47 AM

So... it's taken you 4 years to think of that question?

Ed Fuqua · #30 04-18-2005, 09:17 AM

Whoa, you must be some kinda time warp! I was basically just asking Ed if he could belch in German. Funny that this should come up today (pun intended) since I find myself at home with a wicked case of stomach flu and able to not only belch but also yak and **** in any language whatsoever...today, I am truly fluent.
