No, I don't remember why I'm torturing anyone, just know that I had a reason beforehand.

also don't forget under the homeland security document
"Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Environment Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" released 7 April 2009.  Most of us are considered Domestic terrorists also.

I've seen the performance of Hamlet in the Magic Christian and suffered through my Grade 5 Geography teacher monotonic version as well so I doubt Paris can be much worse.

*looks at Nemesis*  Awww, why you hope you're not thinking what I'm thinking.  *feels sad and tosses Nemesis into a nude sauna with Lisa Lampinelli*

Who?

In any case I'll just turn up the steam.

Now, where is that picture of Stephen......*starts looking*

Unless he has used his moderator powers it should be scattered around the forums. 

[Centurus]

Trust me, Paris is far worse.  And you don't wanna be making Lisa all hot and wet.

[Nemesis]

And you don't wanna be making Lisa all hot and wet.

So THAT'S your mother.

[Centurus]

Nope.  My mother is human.  So was my father.  The fact that I'm not human anymore, well, that's a freak of nature.  The "woman" in the picture is who you're in the sauna with.  You lucky dog you.

Genetic warp or twist I'd grant.  (Or both given who it is.)

Na, the only Love/Hate relationship I have is with certain members of my family in where we love to hate.  As for Foghorn Leghorn, I miss his cartoons.  Hell, I missed most WB cartoons from back in the good old days.  *sighs sadly as I reminisce, then grabs a rubber chicken and smacks Stephen and turns him into my laundry cleaner*

Sheshi Nee.

actually, Me being the stubborn Son of a bitch that I am, I can read just a tiny bit, and speak a little less.
You of course remember my love of martial arts, and most importantly, Jeet Kune Do.

Of course, Bruce was dead, and there was only one person to go to. Ted Wong, the cheerleader camp masterbater extraordinaire. Good lord, I have to tell the story of the cripled vet, and the cheerleader camp on of these days.Let me just say, you haven't seen laughter, untill the guy who could give you a one inch punch and knock you back 20 feet, laughed at my friend the cripple, cause he needed a tissue.

Anyways, I wanted to hear and understand what Bruce had to Ted. Sure he explained a lot, using english, but to understand the subtle differences, esp. when combat is called for, One must learn the language.

Let me help here Brother Cent. From memory here of course, so sue me.

Ni(2) Hao(3) - ni = you, hao = good, meaning "how are you?"

Ni(2) Shi(4) Na(3) Li(3) Ren(2) - shi = yes, na = there, li = in, ren = person, meaning "where are you from?"

Wo(3) Lai(2) Zhi(4) Mei(3) Guo(2) - wo = me, lai = come, zhi = from, mei = beautiful, guo = country, meaning "I'm from America"

Ni(2) Hui(4) Jiang(3) Ying(1) Yu(3) Ma(1) - hui = will, jiang = speak, ying yu = english, ma = ending for question "do you speak English?"

dui(4) bu(4) qi(3) - dui = right, bu = no, qi = up, meaning "sorry"

qing(3) ni(3) xiang(4) ning(3) mu(3) qin(1) wen(4) hao(3) - xiang = towards, ning = your, mu = female, qin = relative, wen = ask, meaning "please say hi to your mother for me"

n hanyu pinyin, each pronunciation is actually made up of two parts. Its similar to English.

English example:

oe when combined with f gives foe and with t give toe, both have similar endings but the "front" sound is different.

In hanyu pinyin, it is the same.

Common endings:

a - "ah" (English equivalent of pronunciation), i - "e", u - "oo", e - "eh", o - "oar"

Common starts:
s - "ser", k - "ker", n - "ner", m - "mer", t - "ter" (note: the "er" is silent)

Example:
ma = mer+ah, pronounced as "mah"

ni = ner+e, pronounced as "nee"

ku = ker+oo, pronounced as "koo"

so = ser+oar, pronounced as "soar"

te = ter+eh, pronounced as "teh"

Lesson 4: Greetings (in general)

zao(3) an(1): zao = early, an = safe, meaning "good morning"

wu(3) an(1): wu = noon, meaning "good afternoon"

wan(3) an(1): wan = late, meaning "good night"

ni(3) chi(1) bao(3) le(4) ma(1): chi = eat, bao = full, meaning "have you eaten?"

xin(4) hui(4): "pleased to" (usually, xin hui xin hui is used to mean "pleased to meet you")

hen(3) gao(1) xing(4) ren(4) shi(4) ni(3): hen = very, gao = high, xing = happy, ren shi = know, meaning "pleased to meet you"

ni(3) hia(2) hao(3) ba(4): hai = are, ba = question ending, meaning "are you well?"

Lesson 5: Salutations

xie(4) xie(4): xie = thanks, meaning "thank you"

ni(3) gan(4) de(4) hen(3) hao(3): dan = did, meaning "you did very well"

zai(4) jian(4): zai = again, jian = see, meaning "see you again"

gong(1) xi(3) ni(3): gong xi = congratulations, meaning "grats to you"

xia(4) chi(4) zai(4) yi(4) qi(2) you(3) xi(4): xia = down, chi = attempt, yi qi = again, you xi = game, meaning "we'll party again the next time we meet"

I did my best to put numbers with common words.  Now you want to here someone with Russian, look the Judge the hell up. Man I miss that guy.

zai jian .

All kidding aside, I can suggest a few books on Cantonese and also Mandarin.

When spoken to,  Not only can I respond in those two native tongues, I can also come back with One liners.

The origin of words Bro, is my weakest link to the human cause. I love history, it started with the golden mean, and at this point we should be in the engineering forum.

plank, The old mobius strip, Hell most Of us ignore or obfuscate mathematics these days.

Back in 91, I used math and physics for no other reason, then to target possible Iragi movements into Kuwait. It cost me an arm and a leg.

Brother I would do it all again, For no other reason, to hear that damned Chicken slap against the back of my head.

I'm good on the language front.  Multiple languages has never been my strong suit.  Nearly failed it in high school.

So...a chicken smacking you in the back of the head....*gets thoughts*
