Title: Hello all. I'm Garfunkle and I'm an alcoholic.
Post by: Garfunkle on March 15, 2008, 05:10:14 PM
Well not really, but it's always nice to have a different topic headline.

A few details about myself, eh? I'm 18 years old and I'm from Scotland. I like the Star Trek+Wars, Spider-Man, gaming and writing. I'm studying Professional Writing at my college and I currently work in a store called Tesco.

I also think this is a cool icon:  :starwars:

Yeah, I've been thinking about it since I heard the Ready Room podcasts by yourself and Jen. I'd defiantly be a Vulcan. I love the whole logic aspect of their characters.

Hey Garfunkle,

Always great to meet folks with a bent sense of humor.

You'll find this to be a very IDIC-oriented (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) forum. Once upon a time, I briefly participated in the StarTrek.com forum and found the people  to be very un-Treklike. I've been away from the forums for a while but have been listening to the podcast pretty faithfully. I've fallen victim to insomnia, so I decided to poke about here.

You've become part of a pretty vibrant and creative community which I bet you'll enjoy participating in.

This is a cool place to be. It should help keep you off the sauce.  ;D

Hi All,
   I'm Chris Lopes, and I live in Colorado Springs, CO with my lovely wife Ellen and our two cats. I work in the semi-conductor industry and am a big science fiction fan. I've been listening to the treks in sci fi podcast for a couple of years now and enjoy the geeky goodness that they provide.

For those interested, vavu (my spelling of it anyway) is Portuguese slang for grandfather. It is what my grandson Isaak calls me.

Salut! Accueillir aux forums. 

I thought it would be fun to play around with Free Translation a little bit. Anyway, glad to have you in the forums and I look forward to getting to know you a little better.  :)
Title: Re: Hello all. I'm Garfunkle and I'm an alcoholic.
Post by: billybob476 on November 11, 2008, 07:33:07 PM
Actually that'd be "Bienvenue aux forums"

Accueillir is the verb 'to welcome' where as bienvenue is what you would use to welcome a person to something.

This French lesson has been brought to you by the Quebec french immersion public school system.

Rats! I thought it would be "bienvenue," but I just took Free Translation's word for it. Never trust Free Translation! :P

About all I can remember from my high school French class is how to count to 10. Not exactly enough to get me into the foreign service, but it did impress the girl at the ice cream shop a few months back.

I had to get out of my French class.... I think I was scaring the instructor, that and all the D's I was getting.

I'll stick to the poor accent you silly... KNiiiiiGit!

Why don't you impress them with your superior Spanish skills, KC... I know as a fellow Texan you must have taken at least 2 years of Spanish. I've taken 7 and I'm more than rusty. The only people that I "converse" with in Spanish are my brother and father and apparently knowing how to say things like "shut your mouth" and "do you want to fight?",  isn't exactly useful in when trying to buy from a vendor in Mexico. :D
