There is some metal here and there, so don't sniff at that armour

Lots of goodlooking people here though. Where are the stereotyped gamer nerds?

Don't worry, Pangaea... I'm nerdy enough to compensate for any normalcy anyone might be suffering from!

You're not the only one

[freakie1one]

Hmm, I suppose there is enough room on these forums for two nerds... barely.

[RedpowerPl]

Polish forum have planty of ekhm... strange people. But thanks to people like them this site is awesome.

[freakie1one]

Yeah, I need to learn Polish. I know a bit of German and Spanish but sadly no Polish I feel I'm missing out on all the super secret stuff that goes on behind closed doors!

[RedpowerPl]

This is super secret language for choosen people. I heard that Polish is one of hardest languages to learn.

[freakie1one]

So you're saying if I learn Polish that will make me the "chosen one" (or in my particular case, the chosen1one)?! Well, chosen one of many. But still! That's the first time (other than in video games) that I've had this offer made to me

[RedpowerPl]

After You will learn Polish...

Alumni of the intensive Polish program at the Defense Language Institute call themselves "survivors". Yeah, it's an intricate language, and even a native speaker sometimes so fails to master the inflections as to produce something that is embarrassingly different from what he meant. (Ask Jimmy Carter's ex-translator.)

Probably the hardest "Western" language for anybody whose first language isn't a Slavic language to learn. (Japanese, Korean, and the major Chinese languages (Mandarin and Cantonese) are said to be the most difficult of all for a Westerner to learn.)

There is an excellent pamphlet, Polish Grammar in a Nutshell, for those who want to know more about why it is such a challenging language. Let's just say that "nutshell" is a very large one.

Dutch sounds like drunk Polish people But i belive that You have right about Chineese.

To me, Dutch sounds kind of like English until I realize I don't understand a word of it.

Anyway, a picture: Guy and Lasagna Queen in Hawai'i.

I'd say that looks like a bloody nightmare to learn as a language.

Anyway, took this picture some months ago, thought I'd upload it.



Why is that people assume that I am smoker or even perhaps a drug addict, the only thing I am guilty of is spending my nights on the PC ( most of the time talking with people who are in countries several hours behind my timezone ).

Hmm people have told you this based off of this photo? I didn't make any of those presumptions after viewing it.

[Costin Moroianu]

Not based on a photo no. But rather I find myself in situations where people consider me a smoker. Hell just a few days ago I went into a store and this woman asked me if I was interested in a cigarette promotion. She was surprised I didn't smoke.

Granted I am quite thin as well.

[RedpowerPl]

My friends say that i allways look like drunk or sleppy Don't care.

Ah, I've had people ask me if I was Japanese, Chinese, Irish, Mexican. I've also had people ask me where my accent is from. I was born in Oregon and currently live in Washington (same general area) so I find it strange that people in the same area think I have an accent. An online friend said it was because I have a "sing-songy" voice - whatever that means!

But yes, I know how it is when people make assumptions. I'm also rather thin and appear younger than I am. People always assume that I'm 10 years younger than my actual age.

Anything that would be falling there would be rain, a bird dropping, or a coconut. You really don't want to try to catch a falling coconut. They come down with a thump.
