    quote:Originally posted by nairi: quote:After you solve the problems of Armenia , drop me a line.What problems?Now that's the spirit! I actually find quite a few of our "Armenisms" around in the Hollywood/Glendale areas very fun! Things such as: 1) Sorry and Hollywood (with the o pronounced as in hello) 2) the word Verdugo (it's a street and a park) 3) Burbank (with the u pronounced as 'oo' and a strong r and the a as in ara) I'm sure there are many more ... just can't think of them right now.

    Don't you mean Engrish? I watch the cooking channel often ... I love it when some chinese or japanese cook tries to say "celery" or even better: Mozzarella Apparently, they use a lot of mozarerrra in chineese foods! Very funny stuff Boghos
  4. I think THOTH pulled it off 62-60 I am happy that at least at an intellectual level you do not discriminate between races. However, at any point, if you draw distinctions between two people based on race, that makes you a racist! Note that I for example believe blacks are far superior to whites in sports such as basketball and running. That makes me a racist by this definition: 1) Racist: The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. It's the second definition that I do not want to be a part of: 2) Racist: Discrimination or prejudice based on race. Realizing and making distinctions between races is NOT wrong. The races ARE very different. However, I believe, discriminating, segragating, etc, all in the hopes of keeping the "blood-line" pure is bull crap and totally wrong.

  5. quote:Originally posted by TigrannesIII:... And for the record, I'm not a racist. Just because I look down on inter-ethnic relationships does not make me a racist. Say what now? Of course that makes you a racist That's just like someone saying I have smoked a joint every day for the past 20 years and I am not addicted! [ September 25, 2002, 06:28 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]
  6. quote:Originally posted by hagarag:A comment was made by Sip, I believe, in another thread that Armenians are hairy. Another generalization. Very true. But the stuff that followed it, I thought, would overshadow this "exageration" (as it painted a very disturbing image) By the way, Azat and TB: Good one! My head hurts as I got caught in some sort of analysis loop. [ September 25, 2002, 03:03 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]
  7. quote:Originally posted by Accelerated:Also, in the near future I might send u a photo of me to put up in my profile... I already have a couple picked out for you. How's this: http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/hf/jug.jpg
  8. I found some info about that eglooG site that I thought was interesting: Surfers Sneak Into Site Through the Back Door. Turns out China was blocking google so thay had to do that! [ September 25, 2002, 12:35 AM: Message edited by: Sip ]
  9. quote:Originally posted by THOTH:...2) You should worry more about how you treat/respect ladies and carry yourself (& maybe a few less twinkies...) and your love life will take care of itself...(mate) Thoth, your points are well taken. I certainly do not disagree Fortunately, I don't have any lady "problems" as of now, and loving it too ... it's one of the big pluses of being a geek About the "black" hysteria that seems to have been the topic of this thread ... I just don't see a basis for it. It sounds to me like it's something that is typically rooted in the inherent racism that traditional folk have, especially Armenians. And we are, as a group, probably one of the most racist bunches that have ever existed!!! Outdoorgirl: Just wanted to say that I hope you don't think that us joking around like this happens ALL the time on ALL topics. Sometimes we also get serious! It's just that this one happened to be way too funny (at least in my opinion). Azat: So what are you hiding from us? Accelerated: You do realize that space shrinks when you are traveling very fast right? If I were you, I would worry about my own LIST
  10. Holly crap, I couldn't believe my eyes. A brand new motherboard with a vacuum tube!!! AOpen PAX4B-533 ... It's supposed to be da bomb in audio these days ("tubesound technology"). Can't wait to check one out personally
  11. Harut Harut Harut! What happened to the old "smart" Harut from few months ago?

    This is just SAD !!!!

    I think it is what they call a "sink hole" here in the US. Water just washes away the underside until the road colapses in it. The scarey thing is that one would probably have no idea how deep it is because you just don't expect something like that in the middle of the road!! I am having trouble figuring out exactly where that took place ... seems like a European country ... the site is Czech (.cz) but not sure. The license plate may be the best clue.

  13. You have 9. You add 5 and get 2 as the answer. How did it happen?
  14. Swimming in a suzuki I only posted it in the humor section since the lady made it out physically ok. That just sucks

    Armenian Car Horn

    Hmmmm... Ara vay vay sounds good too! The problem I have with ghapama is very similar to the ara vay vay one ... you can basically do it with your exisiting horn. It's more timing than "tune". *, *, * *, ********** (hey, jan, gha pa, maaaaaaaa) same tone * *, ****, *, ,* * * * (a ra, vaaaaay, vay, ,vay vay vay vay) again all same tone ? Maybe something like "Zangeeeeer, ghohoghanjeeeeek" (from the Sardarabad song?) ... I don't know. This ended up being much harder than it seemed at first. By the way, if anyone knows something like this that already exists, please let me know!!! I am not a big fan of re-inventing the wheel [ September 24, 2002, 04:00 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]
  16. !!!naj turaH a rikrkateh tahS Ok this is just absolutely C R A Z Y!!!! :roll_eyes: Type "go to hell" in google (with quotes). But before you do the search, guess the top 3 or 4 sites that are going to come up
  17. Looks like now they got it right ... unfortunately, looks like it was 62-60 !!! But no problem, the season is still young
  18. Something seems to be really screwed up there ... my team somehow went under Boggler's name ... and now, I have some really crappy team in my lineup (under the scoring and also reflected in the standings)???
  19. quote:Originally posted by THOTH:...use your charm, wit and personality (etc) the rest will follow Unfortunately, they don't sell those online. However, every day, I get at least 3 or 4 junk emails telling me how I could increase the size of my list by at least 2 or 3 inches in less than a month. Damnit ... I said it again.

  20. Perfect! Easier to store, easier to cut, easier to move ... what else could one ask for!!! Now only if they could figure out how to make Ketchup without having to grow tomatoes.

    Armenian Fonts

    You are welcome And don't hesitate to stop by around here if you need anything else ... Most people are pretty cool here.
  22. quote:By Thoth (in some other thread)... and certainly glad to be alive now (so I can whup your ass in fantasy footaball for one thing!)...but I can't count on much these days... Dear Thoth ... do you want to reconsider that statement about whuping a certain person's ASS? Did you SEE THE FRIGGIN SCORE? I couldn't believe it. The last quarter of the game, I was thinking that for sure you had me. But we are TIED!!! Couldn't have been a closer match I just hope there was no scoring error and that it is an actual tie.
  23. I don't know THOTH, it's a very BIG LONG list to try to live up to Ok, that's it. That's the last time I am mentioning the list again.
