My home PC died last monday so I've been having troubles getting online (Uni Library only) so few time on IRC to harvest my the pretties produced by my permanently wayward flock. So people on IRC don't feel shy to quote it when someone makes a good pun or entertains the public by ways of total retardedness! <3

17:16 Nyovne: Sup moltke
17:16 Nyovne: hows life in the institution
17:16 fanta[Rn]: How is it going Big M?
17:16 fanta[Rn]: lol
17:16 Moltke: My face is badly damaged
17:16 Nyovne: how come moltke
17:16 Nyovne: did this involve the instructing of a female housemate again
17:16 Moltke: Must be an allergy
17:16 KizZBG: o_O
17:16 Nyovne: wait how does your face sustain damage from an allergy
17:16 Nyovne: and to what would it be
17:17 Moltke: Rashes broke out all over
17:17 Nyovne: plan of action??
17:17 Nyovne: wait
17:17 Nyovne: did you make out with cpt obvious?
17:17 fanta[Rn]: lol
17:22 Moltke: Ow I douse my face with vinegar, and it stings
17:22 Nyovne: wait, do you regularly douse your face in random household liquids
17:22 Nyovne: this might explain the rashes??
17:22 Moltke: I probably have an allergy to my jacket
17:22 Moltke: so it's probably made in China


17:28 Moltke: Damn

Some one said a Teamliquid purge? These early blogs, by one of our better mods, might just serve you well. They are also entertaining in themselves. Make note though, that times have changed since these blogs. While most of the advice still holds true today if you're Teamliquid regular, if you are new at posting some just might not.

So if you have not posted an Opening Post (OP) or you are still not logged, and since life is all about challenges now is the perfect time to make an OP. Read these old threads by vGl-CoW, "The Art of Posting" and then please do surprise us. Remember if you haven't yet posted a successful OP at Teamliquid either you have no manhood or you are NOTHING in the StarCraft community.

CHAPTER 1: THE ORIGINAL POST (OP)

CHAPTER 2: Polls

CHAPTER 3: QUOTING

CHAPTER 4: FLAMING

CHAPTER 5: GENERAL POSTING PROFICIENCY

So go post. The Pony Express NEEDS your threads and we will be on the look out for brave new souls.

Practical Korean 5: "Excuse me" in a restaurant/bar
+ Show Spoiler [Inevitable Disclaimer] +

I'm not Korean. I have no Korean blood. I cannot speak Korean fluently. In fact I've only been in Korea for 3 months. So don't go apeshit if I use a ㅔ instead of ㅐ or I offend anyone's acute nationalistic feelings. Rest assured though that I will not teach anything without being 100% that it's right.

Note on Romanization:
(Romanization is where the Korean is phonetically translated into English)
I hate Romanization and I strongly suggest any serious learners of Korean not to use it. It's just for the newbies. The problem with it is that different English speakers will pronounce the syllables differently and on an international forum like this, it's impossible for me to be accurate with it. There are different variations of Romanization and below I do my own version.

A good site to learn the alphabet is here:
http://www.langintro.com/kintro/index.htm

The following are to be used when you want to get the attention of the serving staff. There are basically two ways of doing this. Both are identical.

저기요! (jeoh-gi-yo!)
Extra Tip: Don't over do the 'j' sound (that's a different letter). Think of the 'ㅈ' as a halfway house between 'j' and 'ch'. (As dumb as that may sound, I'm serious.)

여기요! (yeoh-gi-yo!)

In many restaurants/bars, your table will have a little button which you can use to get the attention of a waiter. So, check to see if there's one before you scream your lungs out.

+ Show Spoiler [Details for the keen] +

저기 = there
여기 = here
요 = polite ending

A bit strange how 'there' and 'here' words can both mean the same thing. But that's how it is.

I always presumed 저기요 derived from 'Hey, you over there!' whereas '여기요' derived from 'Hey, look at me, over here!'

ForVengeance was just banned by Manifesto7.

That account was created on 2008-08-08 04:05:25 and had 111 posts.

Reason: I just don't like you. I wish I had a better argument than that, but I just don't like you.

How to make ForVengence

1. Start with one middle-class urban American upbringing.
2. Add a regular public school education with a pinch of bullying.
3. Toss in a handful of resentment, three failed bands, and a parent's basement.
4. Let the mixture simmer, boiling off any meaningful life or work experience.
5. Open the box of community college, and add philosophy 101, early-American film studies, and two random art history courses. Whisk until failed.
6. Mix in two feet of unwashed hair.
7. Cover pot with a lid of self-imposed cynicism to protect yourself from real-life.
8. Pour over a plate of transparency and serve.


Thanks inc and hawk and nyovne!
