¿Por qué Maria?

[green_machine]

Why are people so hell bent on proving how much __________ (better off, smarter, superior, etc) they are here? Do you think it would make a difference if this were the real world or would there be a feeling of indifference? And what came first the chicken or the egg?!

Re: Chicken vs. egg question.

It depends on what you mean. Obviously a "chicken" came before a "chicken egg", since evolution dictates that the next step is a mutation. Therefore, the egg a chicken originally came from was the egg of some other creature, thus not a chicken egg. But if the question is simply "the chicken or the egg", then obviously the egg came first, as it is what the chicken hatches from.

Well that's a matter of perspective. It's hard to read people properly when you can't talk to them face to face. Person to person communication is too complicated of a process on it's own let alone over the internet. But yeah, there's some big heads on here. Just wonder how big they are in thier everyday lives.

I'm generally kind of shy and polite in my everyday life.

PS:I'm in the town that First Blood was filmed in. Awesome!

Really? What's it called?

And is the sheriff a dick? You are, after all, a drifter.

[oldsklgrl]

It's all about being the alpha bitch..er um I mean dog....

[KidoftheBlackHole]

Yes it matters. If this were the real world I probably wouldn't talk to any of you unless you talked to me first.

On a side note...... I'm jealous of your keyboard. I've been taking Espanol on the side and am getting pretty good (my parent's purchased a condo in Mexico and I spend alot of time there). I have friends there that I send emails too in spanish... and I noticed your able to include the upside down question mark "¿" and the little accent thingy above the "é" (¿Por qué Maria?) in your title. I think that's cool.................


Anyway...back on the subject, those who feel like proving they are smarter than me by posting the real name of the "accent thingy above the e" or what you call the upside down question mark..... feel free. I'm comfortable in my ignorance.

As long as NUM LOCK is on, your keyboard can probably do it, too. As long as you have a normal keyboard with a numpad (most laptops don't), you can do it.

Hold down alt and hit 169 on the Numerical Keypad, and then let go. ¿

That e is 130. é

Holy shit. Thanks. I actually learned something on here..amazing!

Please attack me on the internet. Thanx. I never claim to be better than anybody.

In real life I'm a little shy but a bit of a troublemaker. I like having fun doing dangerous things and I make people laugh. If I met jon I wouldn't hate him but I would continue to debate. If he is still an asshole I would tell him off, which I usually do in a very quiet and disciplined manner.

The egg came first, probably from some sort of bipedal reptile or early ancestral bird. Out popped the mutant, which was a chicken. Therefore a chicken egg all along.

Hah!

lol How funny would that have been to be the dino who's kid turned out to be a chicken?

Anyway I wasn't trying to single you or anyone else out. I was just asking a question. Besides I was more interested in the chicken and egg response to be honest... ;)

Lo siento mucho, pero no tengo!

Broken spanglish is the norm...it's the proper shit in school you never here!

¡Haha! ¡Me gusta este hilo! ¡Debemos hacer esto más a menudo!

True, what's really cool is when you have Spanish slang and different pronunciation from other countries. My teacher was from Venezuela and about three weeks into the class I talked to my grandmother....oh, my god I thought she was going to reach across the phone and hit me for a couple of "mispronunciations"...and at the same time I couldn't help but laugh to myself.
The conversation that followed the slip ups was like this....

"¡Usted sabe cómo hablar español,pare hablando discurso loco!" -gran

"¿Eh...te quiero Abuelita? ¡Chao!" - me

"¡Nosotros no decimos chao en esta familia!" -gran

"Ah, mierda..." - me

"¡¿Qué?!" - gran

I just hung up the phone after that. lol


For anyone trying to pick up on this don't be weirded out te quiero, it simply means "I love you" (well if your Mexican I don't know anything about the rest of the world to be honest), its also appropriate for any love — spouse, friend, parents, siblings. And we don't use chao every other Latino will but Mexicans are more prone to say aidos!

[green_machine]

Ok, for a minute I was all... "Ah! I didn't mean it like that!" [flails arms]

[ChrisJones]

Just my very existence pisses people off and confuses them. It comes naturally.

I had to look up bestehen, stört and verwirrt...My German is reeeally sketchy and my friends weren't the best teachers.

[thebigother]

And is the sheriff a dick? You are, after all, a drifter.

Hope, British Columbia.

I haven't met the sheriff yet, but given that the RCMP polices this town, he's probably a huge dick. Ah, who am I kidding, even if he wasn't RCMP, he'd probably still be a dick.

[ChrisJones]

My oma spoke fluently. All my relatives live there. It's easier to speak it than type it.

[ChrisJones]

but of course I'm a retard duh

[green_machine]

I'm just the opposite with Spanish! I understand it and I can read it but when it comes to speaking it I can't always get the words out.

SEE? NAZI! I KNEW IT!

[ChrisJones]

my spelling on like most of those words was wrong, but thats ok

[ChrisJones]

SEE? NAZI! I KNEW IT!

My oma still has her hitler youth armband in a glass case. I'll let you touch it for five bucks.

Hahaha! Rad! [slips Chris a fiver]

But meh I don't see what the big deal is. I'm a bit German too (I've got the boobage to prove it), Irish and there's a little French in there. Yeah....I was conceived with the aide of alcohol.

Really?! see! I told you I had bad teachers! Eh...nevermind I have no clue what I'm talking about. German is so not my thing.

[Lady Marina]

Essen Sie Salat?

Kein danke

( yay translation sites, haha.. I may have a german last name and stuff, but i dont know much!)

[ChrisJones]

those translators are less than accurate, careful you might sound goofy.

[jonhomeowner]

That's it, I'm gonna start speaking Klingon up in hurrr.

[Lady Marina]

It's alright I don't mind making an ass out of myself.
