Babble Thread!

[Tantalyr]

Inspired by Droth's desire to have a place where folks can go off-topic as much as they wish, to derail threads to their heart's content, I bring you this board's first, official, ready-to-eat BABBLE THREAD!

I'll start with something near and dear to us "oldtimers" . . . .

Dryness face. ******** fine Cobrettis.

[Dravatar]

needs more cowbell.

[Yuusuke Akiyama IV]

oh... this could get out of hand *really* quickly...

<grins>

and yes, Cobrettis are ******** fine.

Dang Tant, that is old!!!

And I still don't understand it. Must be some kind of Zen-Obie Wan thing. Chuckle!!

It's not supposed to be understood. It's like 2001: A Space Oddysey--it's COSMIC.

Actually, I Googled Cobrettis and got directed to some German sites which, even when translated (sort of) made no sense . . . .

Get the US Congress to repeal it! We need an amendment now to stop it!

[Turgod]

No thanks C'gan... I like to speak English in America, when I'mm in Italy I'll speak Italian (to the best of my ability, it has been 26 years) or in Korea, Korean. I think a lot of Americans are pompous in thinking that they can speak English anywhere in the world and the locals are supposed to understand. I will try to learn a language and the best way I know is picking up a book or dictionary (do those old Franklin Translators still exist?).

/* rant off

I feel better now

To be fair, I know quite a few europeans that know english better than I do(Born and raised in America). And some of them were no older than 15 years old. I see where your coming from, and agree to the fullest extent, but if you can't grasp your toung around the language, there is still hope of communication

[Magnir]

What in the world does repealing the assinine National ID Act have to do with what language you speak in what country?

Those europeans weren't from the "England" part of europe, were they?
