And it came to pass that God visited the earth, and He did behold a series of billboard ads attributing to Him utterances of such banality that they would never pass His lips in a billion years. And it came to pass that God in His wrath considered a libel suit, but in the end opted simply to mount a cantankerous, self-contradictory ad campaign of His own. . . .

I remeber these billboards from a few years back.
And I mention this as I just read a blog, LoriLoo. Anyway I catch up with her and she is back in the states, and she sees a similar billboard and posted it too her blog, like what the f-ing is going on here.
Then, I'm thinkg where has she been, O yea Korea...I guess getting out of the States can be pleasant.......
I did notice an abundance of churches in Southern Cal back in May, what the f is going on, or is this just a form of bonding without alchol. Yes, I have a faith, not a billboard in my soul, and the pastor use to come to our house for wine and cheese.
Don't make me come down there, because if I do, I'm using the belt and someone's gonna get it.

To you all God is just a Sunday School concept, a tool that religionists use to beat people over the head with, some guy in a big fat book that seems irrelevant. i understand that.
Please understand that I see Him as awesome, mighty, holy, and glorious. I have Him to thank that my daughter wasn't KILLED two weeks ago. Even the driver of the car that hit her told me that. She escaped without a bruise, which isn't POSSIBLE-I saw the side rearview mirror and it had to have hit her at a pretty good clip...
Miguel and some of the rest of you observed Yom Kippur this past Monday. Was that a meaningless ritual, or did it mean something?

hate to be late to the thread, too. But I was watching the latin grammies! coochie-coochie! The verizon guy is much more tolerable en español:

Can you hear me now? Good!
Miguel, I thought of you when they went to a lot of trouble to explain that Nelly Furtado was of Portuguese descent. As if latinos aren't allowed to be from Canada or something.
Posted by: whatnot on September 18, 2002 10:20 PMHey, Miguel, I read an article somewhere recently that stated Portuguese speakers could understand Spanish but not vice versa-is there anything to that? I'm curious.
Or is that like Thomcatspike understanding us but not the other way round? :-)
Posted by: b****fire on September 18, 2002 10:28 PMIt's true, Bunnyfire. Portuguese is so damn difficult and close to Latin we can pretty much guess our way through Spanish and Italian. Spanish is a hard, phonetic language and it dulls the ability to listen for subtle sound changes.
In short, they suck; we rule.
You can easily tell the sound and feel of a language by listening to how averagely educated speakers sound in English - and how fast they learn. Generally, people from smaller countries and/or with complicated languages (Dutch, Danes) who don't dub their films and need to learn a second language (English) to get on, are better at all languages.
The people I've met with the most amazing language abilities are Ukranians, Romanians and Moldavians.
Well, that's this thread ruined!
Whatnot: here in Portugal, Nelly Furtado is seen as a Portuguese woman who did well in Canada. We're all very proud of her!

Got your CD today, Miguel - thanks so much! Mrs. C is mightily smitten with the cover photo, and promises to give a full report after a full listening tomorrow.
Posted by: yhbc on September 18, 2002 11:09 PMMy brief few weeks drinking my face off in Portugal (before going on to drink my face off in Spain (and so on (and so on))) years ago led to the almost complete meltdown of the linguistic circuits in my brain.
I am now terrified of Portuguese, and the very mention of it makes me want to soil my trousers.
The colour of terror....is brown.

My father is from Argentina and he can understand about 80% of Portuguese (& Italian, for that matter).
I'm just sayin'.

Good. Because there are some monkeys that bear watching.
Posted by: b****fire on September 19, 2002 09:57 AMChe, Argentinians are superior people, I agree. Their version of Spanish is sweet and softspoken. My best friend is an Argentinian. Chileans are fine too. But that's it!
Posted by: Miguel on September 19, 2002 10:05 AMMy wife, who is Mexican and Jewish, understands Portuguese very well. Even the slang.
Posted by: KevinSkomsvold on September 19, 2002 10:59 AMthere are also some bears that are monkeying.
and don't forget the monkeys riding bears.
Posted by: tj on September 19, 2002 11:10 AMI sense our first 9622 contest: how many monkeys can fit on one bear? If it was marmosets on, say, a grizzly, you'd be looking at the hundreds. But maybe it could be a brown bear with a baboon on its back with a Nagano Snow Monkey on its back with a bonobos on its back with a lemur on its back with a marmoset on its back.
Now that would be impressive.
Posted by: kafkaesque on September 19, 2002 11:21 AMA Russian scientist and a Czech scientist had spent their whole lives
studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their
respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these
wondrous beasts.
Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to NY and then
on West to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were
told that it was the grizzly mating season and it was much too dangerous to
go out and study the animals.
They pleaded that this was their only chance. Finally the ranger relented.
The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each
and every day.
For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two
scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists'
camp completely ravaged. No sign of the missing men.
They then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the
female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten
the scientists because they feared an international incident.
They killed the female and cut open the bear's stomach... only to find the
remains of the Russian.
One ranger turned to the other and said, "You know what this means, don't
you?"
"Of course," the other ranger nodded....
"The Czech is in the male."
Posted by: b****fire on September 19, 2002 01:16 PMBunny very good, last night I fell asleep watching a program on grizzlies. So as I read your joke. Man, I missed the best part, but yours was a joke, you had me going up to the punch line.
I liked it. ;P
second time. Bunny last night I fell asleep to a program about grizzlies, and your joke me not knowing, I thought I missed the best part of the program, yet I didn't. You had me going up to your puch line which I'll add was great. I'm still giggling.

You say that as if were a bad thing, Witchstone.
No, Portuguese sounds a lot like Russian. Or, the Spaniards say, like Spanish spoken with your mouth full of marbles.
Brazilian Portuguese is much sweeter and easier on the ear than the original, which sounds a bit portentous and medieval - much as Argentinian/Spanish and American/English.
No cocktails today, rats!
