Re: Like OMG 2015-03-13
Hi Paul...
Well, now I feel like a total git. Of course there was a good reason. Simply wanting a cliffhanger is a good enough reason, fer cryin' out loud. That's how series of things work.
But having a fever + kid has fever = you can do whatever you bl__dy well please, and we're going to have your back.
Well, I know I will, and I'm pretty sure a lot of the rest of us will too.
Sorry about my first post here. I was just expressing typical cliffhanger frustration.
Furthermore: I had not seen that pic until you posted it on the home page. So I probably would have missed out on that cuteness overload. So thanks, get well soon, and don't skimp on the NSAIDS.

Nadette is crying because Atsali was critical of her fashion sense; the boy who is calling is Owen, wanting to ask Atsali for advice on clothing for seven-foot-tall girls; Dietzel has gotten a job as a work dog on an ant farm that the MiB had set up as a safe commune for miniature aliens, where he is doing okay; Tina is brewing some extra-cryptic coffee and looking creepily great whilst doing so; the squirrels are plotting as only squirrels can do; Naomi met up with Godot and they are currently living happily on the Big Rock Candy Mountain in El Dorado. That covers most of the important points, I think.Thor wrote:Good thing we weren't waiting for answers or anything...

Is he trying to say " I believe I know what FUBAR means " or something?? google translate is having problems with 'bad' german grammar??Leak wrote:Netter Versuch, aber verbesserungfähig...Sgt. Howard wrote:Deutsch? Es glaupt Es Mir nicht- Und auch weiss Ich was "FUBAR" bedeuten!"
I found "wer's glaubt wird selig" means "who believe it will be saved" ( from google)
BTW the german for FUBAR is " Bis zur Unkenntlichkeit gefickt " NOT safe for 'innocent ears'..
What do you say in german to a kid who will not stop asking you what a rude word is?? say its 'martian' ???

Literally translated it's kinda "German? It(sic!) doesn't believe me - and I too know what "FUBAR" means!"illiad wrote:Is he trying to say " I believe I know what FUBAR means " or something?? google translate is having problems with 'bad' german grammar??Leak wrote:Netter Versuch, aber verbesserungfähig...Sgt. Howard wrote:Deutsch? Es glaupt Es Mir nicht- Und auch weiss Ich was "FUBAR" bedeuten!"
It's basically a way of saying you don't believe someone - like saying "yeah, right..." in English. ("He who believeth in it will be saveth" - in the biblical fairytale sense.)I found "wer's glaubt wird selig" means "who believe it will be saved" ( from google)
Eh... that's veeery German (the country moreso than the language); you wouldn't hear me use that sentence (can't vouch for todays youth, though) - I'd probably say something like "Es ist alles im Eimer/Arsch." ("It's all in/gone down the bucket/ass.")BTW the german for FUBAR is " Bis zur Unkenntlichkeit gefickt " NOT safe for 'innocent ears'..
Considering I don't have kids and don't deal with them on a semi-regular basis - dunno.What do you say in german to a kid who will not stop asking you what a rude word is?? say its 'martian' ???
Re: Like OMG 2015-03-13
Leak : yes... its been decades since I talked german, and no one to practice on!! the people I knew were very free-thinking, so... but the main comment on things going wrong was 'schon, schon...'' "lovely! >:( " or "Just great! >:(" in sarcastic english.... :E plus of course the usual swear words!!

Re: Like OMG 2015-03-13
"Es glaupt es Mir nicht" is translated "It is believed by me not"- this was before American grammar and syntax permeated the language.
Also- when I learned German, one did not utter "profane words", one would oath or say things like "stormy weather" (DONNERWETTER!!!"). In this country, a fellow hits his thumb with a hammer and yells "SHIT!", everybody understands- in German, hit your thumb with a hammer and yell "SHEISSE!" and people look on the ground and ask "Wo?" ("Where?")

Re: Like OMG 2015-03-13
Yeah, oaths and imprecations tend to be very "cultural" and often don't translate well. I remember reading that in medieval France, "morte" ("death") was one of the worst, most unforgivable obscenities.Sgt. Howard wrote:Also- when I learned German, one did not utter "profane words", one would oath or say things like "stormy weather" (DONNERWETTER!!!").
Then, there's the multi-sentient-race conversation I read years ago... I think it was in Anthony's "Prostho Plus"... something along the lines of
"Sir, the students have broken into your offce and are ransacking the storage files."
"Boiling oceans!" exclaimed Dean Oyster. "My files!!"
A red light lit on the Universal Translator, indicating a curse-word.
"Did he just say 'Gritty Oil'???" asked the robot, Its facial sensors slightly out of position...
