A friendly place for friends who drink

It's worse for my brother Ross. He routinely gets addressed as Rose LaFlower, and assumed to be female.

Ha, I had an experience like that a while back. I was communicating via email with a person at our headquarters named Jadie. I had been working under the assumption that it was a woman (I used to work with a woman named Jade, so it seemed like not much of a stretch), until I got into a meeting and mentioned something about "Jadie said she couldn't make it" and one of "her" coworkers gave me a look and said "Jadie is *a man*." Heh, whoops.

My understanding was that the Celts and the Gauls were different. Rome conquered the Gauls. They never truly conquered the Celts. However, the Saxons descended from the Gauls DID conquer the Celts.

Huh. I stand corrected. I thought the Gauls were of Germanic origin.

Cheers!

D'oh.

Gaul.

Gaelic.

Stupid me. You know, I probably did know that originally. But what are you gonna do.

Would you believe it wasn't until my mid 20's that I realized a certain pejorative term for Native Americans was just a variation of "Indian"? I knew both terms, but never made the connection.

Jr High: Spanish I

9th Grade: Spanish I again

10th Grade: Spanish II

11th Grade: Spanish III

Sophomore year in college: Spanish I again



I am so good at Spanish I. Go ahead, ask me how to order a .

I literally had this same conversation with a Polish colleague in town this evening (as he was explaining how he's fluent in 3 languages). First time he's been in the states, and speaks better English than a lot of people I know... It's embarrassing how much Spanish I've had (almost identical as you described), and am only good at ordering at Taco Bueno. Well, not really embarrassing when I speak perfect party taco and burrito!

Cajun is the same pronunciation mangle of Acadian. It becomes even more obvious said in French.

Hi.

It's my birthday today. I am currently drinking a Perennial Sump alone. I'm too lazy to take a picture. I thought this would be the perfect place to post this.

 

[hunter_le five]

Happy birthday Gavin.
