Correct me if I'm wrong.

Awesome name.

...how would you pronounce that??
I'm thinking it's like "Sh-WA-ger-ell" is that right?

Private Elliot: Shigeru Miyamoto probably is a really nice guy in real life.

Dissension and Flint: Cool, I extend my offer to you two as well. Unless I'm a boy.

I would assume it's German.

So something like "Shvagul" in my non-standard German accent.

Post by **Dissension** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 5:43 pm

It's Swedish, but I can't help on the pronunciation.

Schvagerl is as close as I can come, which is quite like Senator_Sunburst's supposition!

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 5:44 pm

It is Swedish and it is pronounced Shwa-girl. I really don't know a shorter way to make the pronunciation, I can say it in a voice chat if necessary. In American that is.

And that is nice to hear Sleet.

Sleet, you androgynous person, you.

Androgyny is fun!

It really is. I'd say you should try it, but it's too late for you.

You have courage. Very few people admit that.

Yep. I don't.

Maybe.

All I need to know is that you are a kind fox that won't harm me. Nothing more needs to be said about you Sleet. :3

This feels like a pefect time to say 2 things.

1. Sleets a fox?

2. I like Sleet's siggy, although I can't help but think it looks more like 'Feet'.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 7:28 pm

Yes I'm a fox! I thought everyone knew that.

I tried it once and actually fooled some people.

Heck, I still manage to fool people even though I'm not trying anymore....

(The above is of course referring to online stuff only.)

I didn't know there were gray foxes.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 7:54 pm

Here.

Wait, here.

I'm actually an arctic fox. Kyderra just colored my character's fur a little darker for shading purposes. I'm only gray on my paws and the tip of my tail in "reality."

Once again, I'm angry (though less so than this morning). Why, you ask?
The Vikings lost to the Saints AGAIN! CURSE YOU FAVRE!!
I live in void space
Somebody I friended on Facebook just died (RIP Colleen Downey Morse; if only I'd have gotten to know you just a little bit more)
I've got a lot of stress over assignments and college.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. =(

Well I'm not in college (yet) but I know how schoolwork stress goes. You'll pull through, don't worry. Just get determined and plow your way through all the stuff. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

I actually just went to a football game with my best friend.
I had to explain everything to her. Including when a touchdown was

My first date was to a football game. Neither myself or my date know how to play football. We spent the whole time theorycrafting on what was going on.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 10:42 pm

I probably wouldn't know how to play either if I wasn't in marching band.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 10:42 pm

If it makes you feel any better, at that age, I did not know what a touchdown was either.

But I do, which is slightly surprising.
She asked me why, in the huddle, some guys stand and some kneel. And why two guys on the other end just kinda stood there. And why people liked this sport.

I STILL don't know about football...

And sorry to hear that as well. It is always bad when someone you know died.

What I don't get is why I, a Fire Emblem nut, don't enjoy a sport that involves meticulously building a team of potential recruits based on a ton of stats representing their strengths and weaknesses, comparing both their present abilities and their future potential and organizing them strategically to advance their position against the opponents trying the same thing.

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:09 pm

Hmm... Fire Emblem.... random thought ahead...

Has anyone ever played Shining Force for the PC? It's a lot like Fire Emblem. The one I had (there are a few versions) was on the Sega Smash Pack 2 disc.

My copy doesn't work anymore though.... all my favorite games are/ 95% broken.... T_T

Because American Football doesn't really work like that.

It only works like that on paper.

I remember the teachers in school debating about whether or not it was OK to show us the news. Now I know why.

Ultimately they did.

I had just gotten out of a pep rally when it happened.

I feel as though I'm the only one with intimate knowledge of football, then again, I used to play it.

Teh Brawler · Post by **Teh Brawler** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 10:33 am

9 years ago I was 9. I really wasn't sure what was going on, since I was in school. When I went home and asked my parents what had happened, they explained it to me.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 10:57 am

That was a scary day man, friends of mine lost loved ones, I felt so terrible.

Sorry to hear.

My friends told me that our teacher was crying while the TV was on and we were cluelessly playing around. 3rd Grade.
