BigV: 你 "Knee" 好 "Howl" 吗 "Mah"?

That's the closest phonetically I can think of. And if you want to say "Bite me" in Chinese, you shouldn't be so literal about it. Direct translations rarely work well... It looks kinda weird from here. A better alternative would probably have been 闪开．But it's a bit rude, tsk tsk.

Brianna: It's okay, I don't mind translating stuff. But then, I guess if someone really wanted to pronounce it right, they should hear it from a native speaker. The cadence may be quite different from what you read phonetically. Btw, I grew up trilingual so it's not like English's my second language. ^_^;;; Thanks for the concern though.

I am 20, turn 21 on Nov 30th. I guess that levels out the mean stats a bit?

Chill out. Please?

Oh, come on. I was joking for heaven's sake! You're becoming awfully concrete and literal in your old age!

Plus. I am on a diet. Gotta keep bruce interested.

Well, that explains it. Bruce is DA MAN!

Good luck counting calories. I need to shed some pounds myself.

BrianR · 09-10-2005, 12:24 PM

DEV! Where have you been hiding all this time?

NovemberRain · 09-10-2005, 08:37 PM

Thirty-seven. I actually forget how old I am and have to do the math most days.

Cyclefrance, my birthday is held on May 20. Every year, right as rain.

Sun_Sparkz · 09-25-2005, 10:19 PM

My Birthday is on Christmas Eve the most frantic day of the year for cooking shopping and wrapping... also the day of our lordius jesus death.. oh lucky me.

wolf · 09-25-2005, 10:34 PM

So, in Australia, Easter is on Christmas?

Elspode · 09-25-2005, 10:40 PM

No, Good Friday would be on Christmas, wouldn't it?

wolf · 09-25-2005, 10:50 PM

First Sunday following the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox ... and since their Spring is our Fall, that would put Easter some time in October, but perhaps they base Ecumenical Dates on Rome's Calendar?

Gosh, that must get inconvenient, having to buy chocolate bunnies at the same time as the chocolate ghosties. Chocolate holidays need more separation than that to really be appreciated.

bluecuracao · 09-25-2005, 10:59 PM

Well, as long as they're all fresh...
