You could just say something in Danish. (brought to you by the powers of this 'interweb' thing everyone seems to be talking about) "Jer artig hr er ikke mand og jeg se frem til jeres demise henne ved den hænder i opgave regn's rotte knokle" Translation: "you good sir are no gentleman and I look forward to your demise at the hands of Purple Rain's rat gimps" Apparently there is no Danish word for demise. |

I can see it now. "Michael! Micha Miiii! Chael Mi Mi Chael! MICHAEL!" Followed shortly by Times Square raining bodies from jumpers. |

It's not the language, it's the Shakespearian tone. Vikings are brutes.
Undergang. |

That sir, would be a broad generalization on the verge of racism, and I cannot respect that opinion. Also I like Shakespearian tones... |
Muckraker Posts: 264 Joined: 7 Jan 2008 | I'd suggest "Talk Like a Nazi Scientist Day", but some might consider that gauche. "Talk Like Mark Trail Day"? "Talk Like Minsc Day"? "Talk Like a Borg Day"? |

The internet fails me yet again... |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1431 Joined: 9 Aug 2008 | I'm telling you, the sooner we have "Talk like Bob Ross Day", the closer we are to world peace. I'm also an advocate for "Talk In Shakespearian English Day" but in reference to modern terms. Like in that weird ass movie "Romeo + Juliet" with Leonardo DiCaprio. That'd be an interesting day indeed. And I'd like to see "Talk like Leonidas Day" where everything is said with a threatening intensity befitting a warrior king. "Me, and MY MEN, WARRIORS THEM ALL! (background *hoorah!*) Refuse to bow to you and your EIGHT DOLLAR COVER CHARGE!!!" |

Aha, but since I am in fact culturally related to vikings, I can say whatever I want about them without being a racist. Much in the same way that a certain word beginning with n is merely a friendly joke when uttered by a person of african heritage. Vikings are smelly and their beards are tangled.
If you really want it, I can translate that other sentence into something that makes sense. For an enormous fee, of course. |

How am I supposed to respond to this? "Greek men are all closet homosexuals and Ireland is a land of alcoholism and mental retardation!" Hurray... |

Well I live in Oz, am English originally, and I've visited NZ... all I'll say is: what the hell do New Zealanders do to their vowels?! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Poleboy! Since you are danish maybe you can tell me, what did the post I made earlier actually say? (I'm curious as to just how terrible internet translator websites are) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2082 Joined: 12 May 2008 |
I'll join in the fun. Mexicans live for gambling and tequila! oh wait...That's actually true >.> |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 |
Whats a vowel? Yeah I have no idea, I like to think my accent isn't as bad as that of other New Zealanders, but it probably is. |

Some of it doesn't really make any sense, but this is more or less what I got from it:
"You (plural) well-behaved/nice Sir is not man and I look/see (grammar is wrong here) forward to your demise over by the hands in assignment/task rain's rat (knokle)" The last word, "knokle" means "work hard" in Danish. It's also related to the words for bone or knuckle. I can't think of a suitable English translation for it right now. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Okay, I tried and got this "Jer nå - artet / hyggelig Hr er ikke menneskene og JEG lede / se efter på levering hen til jeres demise slut af den hænder i opgave regn rotte hær" suspecting that there was something wrong here I translated that back to english "You nå behaved homelike Mr aren't man and I hunt look for på delivery to yours demise quit from the hænder to task rain rat hær" What is the danish word for purple? yeah... Maybe next time I wan't to say something in danish I should just ask a danish person. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1431 Joined: 9 Aug 2008 |
The Danish don't believe in purple. They think it represents evil and sodomy. Incidentally, I love the color purple. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 980 Joined: 19 May 2008 |
We're getting there...
Lilla or violet... you sodomist bastard. Fun fact: In Swedish, Lilla Ninja means Little Ninja. |

Ah, so that explains it... |

You've solved the puzzle sir. Unfortunately the only prize is my hidden appreciation for sodomy. What do you intend to do with this prize? Also people already talk in IMer/Texting langauge pretty much everyday, so we don't really need a day dedicated to it. We could, however, use a day where this DOESN'T happen at all. Not even in text or instant messenger. |

I was mostly referring to everyone using "El oh el" instead of physically laughing, or "oh em gee" instead of screaming/crying/looking shocked. Conversely, non-IM/Text day would be a global holiday designed with people like me in mind. As far as my prize goes, I was thinking of donating it to charity, or trading it in for another Iron Ninja Cigar. |

You behaved cozy Sir is not the humans and I search look for delivery over to your demise abandon of it over to occupation fierceness rain rat Pretty much the same as before with more nonsense. Probably didn't help that you included all the words I translated twice and parantheses and such. I have no idea where fierceness came from though, seems like it inserted that by itself for some reason. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1431 Joined: 9 Aug 2008 |
That is precisely what I meant. Though I suppose you would have had to recently been in a high school to hear this as often as I have (and still do in public). Its truely lowering my opinion of humanity to a new low. Its also frighteningly close to Newspeak from 1984. Ah, Big Brother will have us soon enough. And yes, I feel the same way. I learned to type, spell, and speak properly for a reason. And while I choose not to speak properly alot of the time, I spent to much fucking time in typing classes to not use it. Also I hate shitty spelling. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 |
The fierceness was when I put in Violet probably. Oh well. At least to the uninitiated it would seem like I was speaking in danish. Though I doubt I will ever get it right. Why don't you go to the site and see if you can translate it from danish into english. http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=English&to=Danish
Say no more. here you go. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1431 Joined: 9 Aug 2008 | Danish is apparently not a very romantic language. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | I'm sure if poleboy wasn't busy translating stuff for me right now he'd slap you in the face with some type of fish. (I have decided that said fish would definately be a Halibut) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1306 Joined: 30 Jul 2008 | Why do I have the feeling that should I ever remove that image from the host, the Iron Ninja Village would immediate engulf in flames? I won't, for the record, just an amusing concept. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Well I did copy the image itself, I'm thinking of putting a ninja on it where the sticker is. Or having the avatar handing the cigar to them. I haven't decided yet. But you definately inspired me. |

I don't need no stinkin' site to translate that: .. what the hell are rat gimps?
Which proves that vikings are brutes! Aha! Forgot about that didn't you? Foiled you I did! Shamed you are! On topic, my way of speaking is! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Instead of of gentleman, maybe just "sexy man" and instead of rat gimps it could be rat slaves. I have given you a cigar have I not? because I'd feel awful if I hadn't. |

I'd say talk like a pokemon day, but that may lead to mass suicides.
Si-mon! Si Si MON!
Oh god.
