I’m not down with Japanese culture? All you kooky kids and your funky vowel-ridden languages, all I can do is sit here and be an ignorant gaijin.

Can somebody please start typing in Polish, to even out the vowels-to-consonants ratio on this page?

Japanese culture is weird, the food is weird, and the people are weird. But that’s the appeal to many folks. The word “weird” in Japanese is “hen”, which simply means “change” or “different”.
It’s the root of the word “hentai” (pervert), which aside from being a catch-all term for people considered to be sexual weirdos, also encompasses the genre of Japanese literature and cinema which includes tentacle rape anime porn, which is pretty weird.
On the other hand, the word “taihen”, which if you look at the Chinese characters that make it up looks like it should mean “big change” or maybe “big weird”, can mean, depending on context, “terrible”… or it can mean “terrific”; two word that in English stem from the same root, terror, but which have completely opposite meanings. Whether something “taihen” is terrible or terrific depends on your opinion of weirdness, I suppose, and whether you consider a big change to be a good thing or a bad thing.
And Japanese has no more vowels than Spanish.

He was specifically asking for Polish. And no curse words - tovarish.

Huh, I guess now I’m an ever so slightly less ignorant gaijin. Fault of my own I suppose, the sight of Kanji leaves my brain fried like free range eggs left on the hood of a Dodge Charger during a horsepower test.
Yeah, you have a point there. Isn’t the Japanese alphabet set out in such a way where the ending to any particular syllable differs on the change of a vowel to an alternate vowel? Apart from “n”, at least that’s how I heard that it went down, I could very likely be completely wrong and thoroughly willing to accept that everything I’ve just written is inane rambling. Because most of what I write, is inane rambling.
Back to the topic at hand though, I tend to judge people by who I would buy a drink for and who I wouldn’t; I’ve always thought DarkNinjaa would be a great laugh to get drunk with.

I would treat her to a nice Sunday Roast if she were in town and I had no prior obligations. But usually Sundays are reserved for drinking myself into a cold, lonely stupor and listening to The Smiths on repeat for four hours.

How are you still alive? If I listen to the Smith’s for more than 3 minutes I start having thoughts of self-harm.

Absinthe soothes me. Imagine that me listening to The Smiths were The Hulk, self-harm were an imminent fight with General Ross, and Absinthe was the Betty Ross getting in between. I would say Gin too, but I only drink Gin in January.

Oh, I know, that’s why the first thing I said was, “sorry, I don’t know Polish.” Figured most people wouldn’t know the difference anyway. As you say, die meisten leuter nicht mehr als nur eine Sprache sprechen.
Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d’encule de ta mere, tovarishch.

‘Ya ne znayu po polskii’ is something I can still understand, you know also, your German grammar needs improvement I think.

Probably. Haven’t spoken it in ages. Like I was telling Chushin, the only languages I really have any ability in are English, Japanese, and basic Indonesian. I can get by in a few other ones, but will occasionally make a mistake or two.
reading this thread makes me feel like I’m in a Walmart somewhere in Mid Cali -
xcept that theres noone speaking either Farsi or Tagalog.
