Howl mentioned something about Monty Python.

Also, I think we already scared her away.

Hovercraft eels comes from a Monty Python sketch about a Hungarian tourist, where the punchline is that someone has intentionally been publishing very, absurdly incorrect hungarian/english phrasebooks.  To wit:

I love the Japanese title, but I didn't recognise the あらためまして < is this a set phrase?

And if i past it in the task bar I can read it, but anywhere else it's little blocks.

Aratamemashite, meaning, "To do this formally".

Sorry guys. I'm still a youngin', y'know. 14 days left of school and all. I'll be popping in and out, but when summer advents itself, I shall be all yours! Bwahah!

Cool.


We've been talking here for a while about, while we have people come in from all over, we really don't have any asians. It seems like, with some of the weird stuff that comes out of Japan, a bunch of Japanese would be primed for picking up on Discordianism.

[BadBeast]

You've obviously never heard of the super secret shadowy sect of the "Ten Icy Fingers" an Erisian Ninjitsu Assassination Bureau, with  invisible links to MI5, Neo-Thuggee Cultists, and Salvio Invictus, (The Super Elite Special Services of the Salvation Army  )
They are so secret, that only three people know of their existence. Me, you, and one other person unknown. Who we must now expose as Reptilian, then dispatch according to Dread Fu's "Death Ritual of the Turgid Lingam". (Basically, by beating, choking, or otherwise brutalising to death with anything Penis shaped)

One of the main reasons I will be learning Japanese shortly.

It's an interesting language to learn. It's much more internally consistent than English (meaning it almost always follows its grammar/syntax rules, few exceptions). The lack of a common Latin origin makes it more difficult to learn than French or Spanish, though.

I think I read somewhere that spoken Japanese only has one tense, and depending on where the emphasis is put in the sentence, the same words could mean either,"I have walked the dog" or "I am going to walk the dog" or "I am walking the dog". I'm not sure whether this would make it easier to learn, as a second language, or more confusing though.

Whoever told you that isn't true. Although emphasis shows emotion, we do have tenses.


Fun fact: In Japanese, fat--as in "to be fat"--is a verb.
