The way it sounds when i read it, sounds like someone from Boston saying pecker.Originally posted by Pekka
Surprise surprise, AH has mentioned this only about 100 times before. No, in english it does not sound even close to that, you just can't pronounce it. But don't worry, I'm not offended
.
Maybe that's some kind of omen though.. I've been blessed with a massive beast so.. I don't know. Maybe this was meant to be.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

You obviously are unfamiliar with the joys of English and American dialects. In eastern New england the world Pecker would be pronounced without a terminal R (theh ah pekkas at hahvahd) Similarly in some southern dialects. On the other hand in parts of working class New York (an accent thats dying) a terminal r is sometimes added (that Pecker is some great hawckey player)Originally posted by Pekka

Then theres UK dialects."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

I have to disagree. The German SPD parlamentarian under attack actually stated a truth which other politicians did not speak out: That Berlusconi has people in his government (Bossi, Fini) who make our Austrian Haider become pale when listening to their fascist bargle. But of course Fini changed soooo much. Nowadays, we can't hear him say anymore like in 1994 tha Mussolini was the greatest statesman of the 20th century.

Pekka: You're taking this way too seriously. The German left deserves all the contempt available, as was clear when they tried to interrupt his speech earlier. It's just political theater on both sides.
And then a guy with such people in his government has the guts to call a German Socialist a Nazi. Analogy: A German I don't like=Nazi
Berlusconi sure makes friends north of the Alps."The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...
"Let me break this down for you, fresh from algebra II. A 95% chance to win 5 times means a (95*5) chance to win = 475% chance to win." Wiglaf, Court jester or hayseed, you judge.

Are you bloody trying to offend me tonight?Originally posted by Provost Harrison
No human with normally formed larynx can pronounce Finnish. It is the second language of the beast, after Dutch
I'd pronounce Pekka as peck-ah, which would be the average southern UK version of pronouncing the word pecker (being a coll. for male genitals...), so I can see some of PH's point.

Why do these parliamentarians believe such stuff is any of their damned business?
And it seems that the German left can dish out the NAZI talk, but can't take it.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

God forbid parlementarians ask the new Prseident of the EU to be accountable for his actions while holding an office."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident
