Liemberg 0 #1 January 30, 2003 Since I started posting here a couple of weeks ago blasting away like I was on 'wreck dot' again I lately realised I never introduced myself. How impolite. My name is of course my name, I jump since 1979 and have a place of my own (can I mention it? can I? www.skydive-ameland.nl nobody can read what is there anyway - but eat your hart out, I never pay for my jumps hehehe...) Sometimes you'll find me hard to understand. That isn't you, but is due to the fact I don't think in your language. I have to translate everything I want to say here in English / American. I'm a foreigner with a dictionary. (nowadays a computerprogram; it doesn't translate but it is faster than a book...) Then again, when I leave an airplane simultaneously with other dutchmen we don't say 'Klaar, Zet Ga!' but we say 'Ready Set Go' like normal skydivers... My spelling stinks - but now you know why...

You were thinking something more like "Funky dude with a genital disease". Patrick-- It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Liemberg 0 #9 January 30, 2003 Quote Soo. You were thinking something more like "Funky dude with a genital disease". Foreigner with a dictionary, indeed. Actually, I think it was the infamous Snuffy Smith (the loudest mouth on rec.skydiving) who can take credit. "Funky dude with genital disease"?!?!? It isn't as if I is speaking Frunchie, now is it?(Funny: While the English and the Dutch were speaking about 'French disease". the French were speaking about 'maladie italien' - makes you wonder what the italians were saying...'malattia venerea', according to my dikkunary - sounds as if they blamed the venetians, who traveled among the arabs and everybody knows that - oh well...)

blewaway5 0 #11 January 30, 2003 No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. This is actually a message from Thompson to Dr. Gonzo, not a message from Dr. Gonzo. Of course Dr. Gonzo is still in the hotel! Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
