ERIN GO BRAGH

[Scoop]

I use Eirinn go brach.

Pog mo thoin!

[GR1MSTONE]

I use Eirinn go brach.

Pog mo thoin!

i have no idea what that means, me = noob.

[Scoop]

Eirinn go brach is how the Ireland forever saying is spelled. But Irish isn't phonetical. So you see the Erin Go Bragh a lot because that is the phonetical way to spell it.

Pog mo thoin is kiss my ass. Pronounced as pogue muh ho-in.

Irish is stupid hard to wrap you mind and mouth around

[walks_silently]

I don't speak that language... hence why Google translator = awesomeness
Do you actually speak Swahili? I do know Irish Gaelic

Funny thing is, I still had my settings for Irish up so when I pasted that into translator it popped up as 'Is féidir le do cúrsóir teacht i gcónaí ar a chuid marc'.. I know that ain't right!

I am learning Swahili....long story. Just the basics so far a little over a month in. I had to use an online translator for: 'Is féidir le do cúrsóir teacht i gcónaí ar a chuid marc'. I do not speak Gaelic. It could be translated as that....from what i understand basically it means may you always hit your mark/target. i guess it is implied that it could be translated as cursor or anything you may guide to a target or specific location. hope thats not to confusing. Gaelic is wild I know only a few who speak it.

[Scoop]

LOL Yeah, it should have WAY more words. But things are hard to put together. Everything has to be implied. The whole thought process to speech with them seems to be different. I just think its funny how you can't praise, curse, nor greet someone without bringing God into the whole mix!

Swahili will never be on my language list. Neither will Chinese. Though I did date a Japanese guy once and tried my hand at that. Obviously neither worked out well
Good luck on it. If you get any good at it, you will be on my translator list. I have so many Africans that come into the office and I know they're speaking English but I can't, for the life of me, understand them. That accent is strong with them, it is.

[GR1MSTONE]

so basically, i can throw letters in a blender and say they mean what ever i want them to?

gojoiu nqwoiern nnwern nownernn wqooejj = "hello there, lovely weather we're having"

[The Annoyed Man]

I dig Japanese can't speak it but i love the way it sounds.....Latin as well!!

I took two years of Latin in high school, and the one thing I can remember is "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres," which is the opening phrase of the first sentence of Julius Caesar's "De Bello Gallico" ("Gallic Wars"), Book 1 (58 B.C.E.), and which translates as "All Gaul is divided into three parts..." The full sentence (which I had to go look up 'cause my brain is old and foggy) is "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur." The translation is "All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third."

I'm actually fluent in French, but only because my mom is french, and I lived in Paris and was in the french public school system for a year when I was a young boy. Otherwise, my foreign language skills are limited to that great line from the end of Steely Dan's "Only a Fool Would Say That:" Solamente un tonto puede desir eso!" .....or something like that.... and of course there's the 3 or 10 spanish words I learned in high school which I can't repeat in church.

Sacre bleu! 10 years after learning French I finally have someone to practice on. Bad thing about learning French in Texas... no one speaks it. It has been easier to pick Irish Gaelic back up than it has been to find Frenchies in Dallas.

Welcome to the gang Troesler!

Welcome to the gang Troesler!

The closer you get to Louisiana the more creole french not real french but sure gives you a leg up in a conversation.

[Scoop]

I'm from that area and even had to study the French-Creole culture as well as the French-Candian culture. I can tell you all about Mardi Gras and how it got started! ~Laissez les bons temps rouler~
But them cajuns are a breed all their own
Louisiana has some of the best damn food on the planet next to Tex-Mex though...so long as you don't ask too many questions about what it is you're eating. Spent many meals with a friend's family that was from Lake Charles. And yes, they really do bang on metal pots with wooden spoons to keep their 'dinner' from escaping.

[Troesler]

Oh I know love the food and I have to know whats in it so when I get home I can make it myself.

Did they lie and tell you it started in New Orleans?

[Scoop]

Nope. I had to go back and study the beginnings of today's festival back in France and how it evolved after the French brought their traditions with them. I even had to learn how to calculate Lent.. I'm not Catholic but I had to learn all that mess as well. That's why I refer to those classes as 'French studies'. Even though it was a language class, I had to learn about the entire culture and their history.

[ZombieWrangler]

First off i should dispense with the required formalities:
Name: Alex
Job: IT Director by day, but moonlight as a carpenter
Location: Burleson / Ft. Worth
Skills: I have done all sorts of things. from professional dishwasher to commercial construction foreman. Former Boy Scout, and now scout leader for my kiddo. I can of course shoot, but also enjoy reloading ammo, and can repair most firearms. Currently branching out into automotive repairs.
What I'd like to learn: more mechanics, I'm still lost without my Chilton manual.

I've always been a step ahead in the disaster preparation department, and was recently ashamed to learn that I hadn't considered the Zombie Apocalypse along with the other potential society-enders. But when I got my Jeep and christened it a 'Zombie Attack Tactical Vehicle" I was suddenly introduced into the previously hidden masses of like-minded folks with an undead hatred.

Glad to meet you - Keep an Eye out for the Zombie Wrangler cruising through DFW

[GR1MSTONE]

glad to have you ZombieWrangler, look forward to meeting you. we should be putting together a meeting pretty soon to get acquainted and go over some chapter stuff. welcome aboard!

[m1lkm4n]

Nice to see you on the forums, I recognize you from the facebook group. Welcome aboard!

[Scoop]

Welcome aboard!

[jeepinbandtrider]

Name- Joshua, 27 Single , divorced, with no kids.

Job- SGT. US Marine Flight Equipment Technician currently in the Quality Assurance shop and training for the Base Auxiliary Security Force. Prior MOS was Gas Turbine Engine Mechanic on CH-53Es.

Location- Stationed in Fort Worth living in Mineral Wells. Moving to Saginaw sometime next month.

Skills/Interests- USMC Pistol/Rifle Coach (instructor), basic first aid/a little combat life saver training, self taught mechanic on cars/trucks/motorcycles, I can assemble an AR in no time and have no problem replacing parts on a weapon, but other gunsmithing stuff is beyond me. I ride motorcycles, drive fast cars, race motorcycles and cars, play airsoft, shoot IDPA/USPSA and 3-gun when I get the chance to, camping, hiking, ect all good times. I can also reload but got out of it a while back. I still have the knowledge and books to do so though. Also currently trying to work my way though to my private pilots license with a goal of at least Commercial Cert with Instrument Rating. Video games. I'm a big geek/nerd, really into Star Trek, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, sci-fi games, ect, ect. I know my way around a welder but I'm no expert I can lay down a good bead with a stick or wire welder but TIG is beyond my ability and I don't have access to a machine to practice on. I worked in a Machine Shop for a year while in my senior year in HS before I left for the Marine Corps so I can run a mill and a lathe at a novice level and can rebuild pretty much anything that has pistons and valves, rotary engines I've never messed with.

What you'd like to learn- Pick up some more medical skills, HAM radio (I've got a few handhelds but only listen right now as I'm not licensed), and get better at my primitive survival skills. If anyone here is a CFI let me know I have lost contact with my flight school and am in the market for a new one.
