OMG. Dying from the fandom thing. Babydoll is my new best friend! ;)

[aervir.livejournal.com]

I think I'd like to have this book as well! Foreign language geekery and dictionary nerdism -- mmm.

I love the German words they have chosen as examples, especially Kummerspeck and beleidigte Leberwurst. And speaking of German words, is it true that there's a (German-derived) term called vorspiel in Norwegian? Or was it nachspiel? And what exactly does it mean? I think I read it in another online article about loan words in various European languages, but I can't remember this exactly right now.

[falena]

OMG I want that book too!*squee*

Fave quote from the article: Having pored over 280 dictionaries and trawled 140 websites, [the author] is also convinced that a country's dictionary says more about a culture than a guide book

That's so true!

(I'm the proud owner of 11 different dictionaries!*lol*)

ITA!

I'm sure you're just sooo honoured to be the best friend of the Ultimate CSI Fan.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

We have both vorspiel and nachspiel, though the latter is more common. A vorspeil is a little gathering to warm-up drink before a party, going out, whatever. Nachspiel is a gathering to drink afterwards.

We like to drink.

[b2wm.livejournal.com]

Translating from German: foreplay and afterplay, respectively. ;) Unfortunately, I don't know Norwegian.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I only have 6. Wah, wah.

Book. Drooling.[Veruca Salt] I want! [/Veruca Salt]

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I think aervir is perfectly aware of that, being german herself.

Though I could be wrong ;)

3. Pinkie tow (stands out too much)

Toe. ^^

*starts singing joyfully*
Homophones! Homophones!
Where the crews come cruising down the plane!
Homophones! Homophones!
I need my kneaded biscuits plain!
*stops*

And, that nude MP... I give him credit for doing that tastefully. Kudos to him. How much you want to bet that the other guy won because people wanted to see him walk around naked. Sounds like a Canadian thing to do.

There was even a petition going around a few years ago for 'Stockwell Day' to change his name to 'Doris'; and you better believe that people signed it.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

We like to drink.

Um, apparently very much so. :)

But if I ever come to Norway and am invited by some guy to a vorspiel at his apartment, now I can at least be quite reassured that it's nothing indecent. :D

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Are you perhaps studying German? Just asking as a curious native speaker who wonders that anyone might be willing to tackle articles, gender and irregular verbs in my mother tongue voluntarily... :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

When we drink, we're dedicated. Besides, we can't do it too often, since alcohol is very expensive. Thank you, government.

Heh. I'd be more on my guard if he invited to a nachspiel. Beware those!

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Besides, we can't do it too often, since alcohol is very expensive. Thank you, government.

Since when have high alcohol prices ever kept people from drinking? :) We're just having the Oktoberfest in town, and drunken folks are all over the place in the underground, probably both boozed and broke.

[meeta.livejournal.com]

Of course! She knows what's destiny on CSI, dude.

In my version of CSI destiny, Grissom, Catherine, and Brass have a threesome and burn down the lab.

[b2wm.livejournal.com]

(Serves me right for hopping in without knowing the posters.) Yes, I'm on my seventh year of studying it officially. Never said I was good at it, but I figure if you're brave enough to attempt English, doesn't hurt to make some attempt at breaking the trend of American stupidity.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

Too bad, I'm stealing that meme. How come everyone else gets the good ones?


OMGWTF that book is awesome. Yes, yes it is. Sweeeet book, yes you are. [/creepy]

[kittkatbar77.livejournal.com]

def stealing that meme, lol. how come i can never find the good ones?

THREE CELEB CRUSHES:
1. Gary Dourdan
3. David Wenham
3. Martin Freeman

great choices, if i do say so myself. especially the first :P

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

::puts on Greg's Swami turban::

I predict much wank in the future for CSI. And that the 'shipper wars will turn uglier as time goes on. Man your battlestations...

And I want that book two. Here I only have a measly three dictionaries, one for Koine Greek, one for Russian, and one for Japanese.

[j0llipops.livejournal.com]

Ah, spelling corrections coming from the guy who once spelt 'fur' as 'fir'. Got to love it:-P.

Where in the /world/ did you come up with that song? Is there more? I want to hear it now.

[erhothwen.livejournal.com]

Nice ass

I like how you're honest. XD

[melliyna.livejournal.com]

Must steal meme. Must also steal book; I think I must be developing in to a language geek

But am laughing too much at the fact that Tony Blair watches Little Britain to fill it in.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Ah, fandom wank. I almost miss it in the LOTR fandom.

But not really.

*adds book to Christmas wish list*

"One, two, five!"

"Three sir!"

"Three!" :P

[siraj.livejournal.com]

"Get Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on DVD"

I can oblige you, if you're willing to wait a couple weeks and can wait a bit longer to put up with international shipping...

[keskt.livejournal.com]

I honestly kind of hope that Grissom and, I don't know, Hodges will hook up, just so the fandom will implode. Is that wrong?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

In my version, Greg get Ecklie to buy a sauna for relaxation, and everyone has orgies in there when feeling like it. Bush shows up, screaming about Scandianvian perversion, and Vikings come from Valhall to kick his ass. teh world rejoices. The CSIs have orgies. All win.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

We're not talking high, we're talking astronomical. My people go to Germany to drink cheaply, for crying out loud.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Bite me, Toe-Lover.

See, I'd vote for a guy who was willing to walk nude for my vote. Hear that, Norwegian politicians?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They're quicker thievses than you?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You have to look more.

I think all of them are very good choices, thank you very much.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ready, ma'am!

It might be a very amusing season in more than one way.

I only have five and I want too. Gimme!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I like brains also, I think I am therefore entitled to a little shallowness.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I guess he doens't have too much to laugh about elsewhere...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it hasn't gone too far away ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I guess... What did you have in mind, exactly?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

... Yes.

I'd pay to see that, I would

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Serves me right for hopping in without knowing the posters.

No offence meant, and none taken. :)

Yes, I'm on my seventh year of studying it officially. Never said I was good at it, but I figure if you're brave enough to attempt English, doesn't hurt to make some attempt at breaking the trend of American stupidity.

Hey, I'm sure you must be doing really well after seven years. And fortunately, none of the American students I've ever met fit the cliché of American stupidity. Which was probably merely invented by some European guys to make themselves feel superior. :)

[aervir.livejournal.com]

My people go to Germany to drink cheaply, for crying out loud.

I think I see your point now...

*hands over virtual beer for free*

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

Nah. They probably have more interesting F-lists.

[idreamedmusic.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you for reporting that petition madness. I mean, wank history wouldn't be complete without a GSR vs. GCR bitchfest.

Still can't get over the name "Grillows". Always makes me want to get out and throw some steaks on the grill.

[meeta.livejournal.com]

LMFAO! I love it!

[siraj.livejournal.com]

I'm getting paid Friday, and I get a pretty sizeable paycheck... I was going to pick up a copy for myself while I was running errands Saturday, and I'd have no qualms about picking up an extra to send to you...

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Well, I found it again.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

And I send you back something as a trade or something? I'm sure that's doable,

[siraj.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head* no trade! This is just out of what little goodness is left in my heart.

Toss me your address in an e-mail, and I'll pick up a copy Friday, and mail it out Monday.
