I don't watch Adult Swim, but I can't help but catch a few things. Being on the Interwebs and all. :)

The only TV that I watch is Discovery Channel, Military Channel, History Channel, and Animal Planet.

That would explain why you don't know that Comedy Central bought the rights to Futurama a while ago.

A very good feature. I'm pretty polite and all that.

O ic! your still on topic! man that confused me lol

The muffin man. *nods*

Do you know the muffin man?

O ic! your still on topic! man that confused me lol
Aye I'm not just really drunk or something.

Do you know the muffin man?

Yes actually - he sells great quality foods at competative prices. :)

You have a dark mind boy! Even I would not unleash that evil on the world! :eek:

Yeah well... still a little young bud, sorry. ;)

You were only 22 didn't you say?

*Does calculation*

Oh one year to young.

Maybe my nerdiness. In fact I kinda like being a nerd.

I always try to do the right thing and would rather do nothing than do the wrong thing. I'm also a natural leader.

Physically, I think my voice is probably my best attribute but some people say I have a disarming smile (If by disarming they mean makes people panic and not know how to react then I agree)

I LOVE being a nerd!

My excellent singing voice is another one. When I do karaoke I always get a standing ovation. Well, people stand up midway through the first verse and run to the doors with their ears bleeding, does that count as a standing ovation?

It's great if you want to be sexually intimidated by 35 year old women on a hen night. Otherwise, not so cool.

Also it's only 4 hours on the plane for when you want to escape its horrible grasp :p

(Like run, because I still have to lose another thirty pounds to go to basic training. :)):(
Which is NO FUN.

You're going to be a 19K, right? Don't worry then, basic training is probably the last time you'll run, tankers hate running and PT in general. And either way, the privates in my platoon tell me that if you make it to basic you'll be good because no one gets failed out for nonperforming on PT anymore. And this is 19D basic, where I went from a 140 on the entry PT test to a 305 and gained 30lbs along the way!

*grumbles about how the Army has gone to shit in the last 8 years*

Also it's only 4 hours on the plane for when you want to escape its horrible grasp :p

It's also easy to kill yourself too, if it affects you that badly. Lots of high balconies, and lots of sea.

I'm rather proud of my academic capacity, which, in the absence of anything else I consider of any enduring value, I'll plump for.

Now, as we know, everyone has a feature about themselves that they like. What would yours happen to be?

Mine would be my sense of honour, justice and caring. The need to protect those close to me.

On a related feature, I also like my eagerness to learn. :)

So, what is your best feature?

I find there's something of a toss-up between my humor, and my intelligence. Both are noticeable, useful features.

I also have a strong sense of honor, loyalty, and respect for those deserving.

*grumbles about how the Army has gone to shit in the last 8 years*I just found out that I'm qualified for the 18X (Special Forces Candidate) enlistment option. I'd go in for the fist six months as an 11B, and then (After the six months) I'd go through Special Forces Qualification Course. And, if I make it through Qualification, I'd go through the Special Forces Selection Course.

Outstanding. I just heard about that program the other day from some guy I had to give a ride to Kuwait (he's ex-SF, I actually met him in Ramadi in 2003 but he's a civilian now doing who knows what) and he said it was actually a great thing.

I had a buddy go through selection a few years ago and one thing he did that helped him out was he wore a 50lbs rucksack around all day (that may be a bit harder as a civilian).

Which 18 series MOS are you looking at?

Try sitting in a bath full of ice. That should sort that problem:p

- spontaneous ingenuity,
- strong sense of justice,
- strongly developed empathy,
- an inquisitive mind paired with a quest for knowledge,
- a healthy sense of duty and honor,
- humor.

That's my six-pack of features.

Anime does help in one thing, to keep the language fresh in your mind and to make you get use to Japanese phonetics, to the accent.

But I thought it was Japanese?

But I thought it was Japanese?

It is Japanese. Demo, Zero isn't acquianted with the language enough to be able to follow it from watching anime.

The only reason I'm learning a second language is because it's required for Green Berets.
Hopefully I'll be able to learn a level IV language like Arabic or Chinese.

Chinese.

No such language.

I thought about learning Chinese, but the main problem I encountered with it is that Chinese is tonal and quite hard for me to grasp. Japanese tends to be easier on my ear and tongue because phonetically speaking, it's very similar to Spanish.

I've got 4 on the go for the SAS.

No such language.The Department of Defense lied to me, then. :mad:

I've got 4 on the go for the SAS.

I've mastered 5, so I'm happy so far.

I've got 4 on the go for the SAS.You're "Special Delivery"? :D

The Department of Defense lied to me, then. :mad:

They actually did. There is no such language. There is Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu and a few others, but not one is called Chinese.

I've mastered 5, so I'm happy so far.

Wow. Which ones?

The Department of Defense lied to me, then. :mad:

Adunabar was just being anal about it. He just wants you to call it either Mandarin or Cantonese.:p

I've mastered 5, so I'm happy so far.I'll be happy with passable English, and a mastery of whatever language that I'm taught after that.
I'll never master the English language, it changes too much.

You're "Special Delivery"? :D

I am?

Wow. Which ones?

Spanish, Asturian, Gallego, French and English.

I'll be happy with passable English, and a mastery of whatever language that I'm taught after that.

What's your mothertongue?

Spanish, Asturian, Gallego, French and English.

The first one is your native language, the second is a dialect of Spanish, I think the 3rd is too.

The first one is your native language, the second is a dialect of Spanish, I think the 3rd is too.

Asturian is the dialect of Asturias, my province. Gallego is spoken in Galicia.

They actually did. There is no such language. There is Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu and a few others, but not one is called Chinese.Could it not be a collection of all dialects of the lagnuage of the Chinese people, colloquially referred to a just "Chinese"?

Adunabar was just being anal about it. He just wants you to call it either Mandarin or Cantonese.:pAlright.

Asturian is the dialect of Asturias, my province. Gallego is spoken in Galicia.

So they're both similar to ordinary Spanish then. I went to Asturias 3 years ago, and the Spanish didn't seem different to me.

What's your mothertongue?English. :D

Could it not be a collection of all dialects of the lagnuage of the Chinese people, colloquially referred to a just "Chinese"?

Well, they're not dialects, they're totally separate languages. It's like someone claiming European was a language. There are some similar words in each of them, but they are very different.

So they're both similar to ordinary Spanish then. I went to Asturias 3 years ago, and the Spanish didn't seem different to me.

Nope. Both Asturian and Gallego are greatly influenced by Portuguese. They're different from Spanish in many aspects, although they're easy to understand for native-Spanish speakers.

English. :D

Then how come you say you'll never master it?:confused:

I love the spanish tongue most of all - it's always been one of my faves. :)

EDIT: I'm just yet to learn it. :p

Well, they're not dialects, they're totally separate languages. It's like someone claiming European was a language. There are some similar words in each of them, but they are very different.Hence the "colliquoally referred to as Chinese." Informally referred to as Chinese. :)

English. :D

I thought so. What did you mean by special delivery as well?

Nope. Both Asturian and Gallego are greatly influenced by Portuguese.

Portuguese is just Spanish with a painful accent.

I love the spanish tongue most of all - it's always been one of my faves. :)

EDIT: I'm just yet to learn it. :p

Spanish is an amazing and versatile language.

Portuguese is just Spanish with a painful accent.

Not true, Adu-kun. The only similarity between the 2 is that both evolved from Latin. But they're different in their own right.

Then how come you say you'll never master it?:confused: Mastery means full command of a subject of study. I have yet to meet a person who has complete command of my language.

What did you mean by special delivery as well?
British SAS. "Special Air Service" a.k.a. "Special Delivery!"

Spanish is an amazing and versatile language.

Which is why I wanna learn it! :)

Mastery means full command of a subject of study. I have yet to meet a person who has complete command of my language.

Languages are ever changing. In constant evolution.

Portuguese is just Spanish with a painful accent.

Nonsense... Portuguese is a little bit sexier...

Not true, Adu-kun. The only similarity between the 2 is that both evolved from Latin. But they're different in their own right.

I was joking. (again) But in all seriousness written down they're very similar, just not spoken. Por ejemplo, you say azucar, they say acucar, etc.

Nonsense... Portuguese is a little bit sexier...

It does sounds sensual. But I assure you, Spanish is just as sensual when spoken correctly.

British SAS. "Special Air Service" a.k.a. "Special Delivery!"

Oh lol. It was a special delivery for these 8 bitches : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=r9U8vySOnbs

Spanish beats Portuguese in the sexiness comp hands down.

Italian is more similar to Spanish than Portuguese. And of course many words will sound similar, these are, after all, Romance languages. They evolved from a common root, Latin. But structurally-wise, semantically-wise, syntaxis-wise, Portuguese and Spanish are different.

Italian is more similar to Spanish than Portuguese.

But is Spanish more similar to Portuguese than Italian? Italian looks like a hybrid between French and Spanish to me, Portuguese just looks like Spanish spelt wrong.

I've never had the same errmm... experiences with Spanish that I have had with Portuguese... so perhaps you are right.

You must not have met the same women I have (for that we should both be thankful eh?)

Spanish is more similar, in many ways, to Italian. More so than Portuguese. I don't speak Italian, but I can sustain a conversation with an Italian using Spanish and be understood effortlessly. I can read Italian, better than Portuguese. Of course, I understand Portuguese, I speak Asturian and Gallego, which stem from the mis of Spanish and Portuguese. But it's a bit harder than Italian.

Well the Latin preterite of to go is ridiculously similar to Spanish. It goes

Fui
Fuisti
Fuit
Fuimus
Fuistis
Fuerunt

Hmm.. as a person who grew up speaking only English I find it very hard to learn other languages. I think its because English is very literal and dissimilar from so many other languages.

What I like about English is that because it's a Germanic language with a lot of French and Latin small bits of lots of languages can be understood.

Yeah but I have not been able to learn another language passed just enough to understand the gist of things. Hell.. the only thing I can say in Spanish is "No hablar Espaniol." And that tops my French by a lot.

No, because those verbs you're using are from Latin. Spanish has it's own verb structure.

Vosotros fuisteis is only used in Spain. It's archaic and not used in any other Spanish speaking country. Although Aregentina does use an aproximate of "vosotros" in "vos", which means you or "tú". It still means "went" in the preterite.
