Inlander:
Do you know that he has a massive cock, or do you know that he claims to have a massive cock?
Hat:
We have no Portuguese speaking males currently working with us, but two Portuguese speaking females who always have shifts with each other.
(he has a giant cock)
Will:
Name meanings are cool!
"William" as it turns out means "Determined Guardian" which is pretty badass I think.
pwhodges:
Breton is a Celtic language, like Cornish, Welsh, and the various forms of Gaelic. So no Romance influence to speak of.

--- Quote from: Ladybug on 04 Jun 2009, 06:34 ---"Mon mari" suddenly became very amusing to a few people in a French class when reading a text about a woman, her husband, children and work.

Wouldn't your name be 'ma mari' though?
To be fair, I am not sure how mitigating pronoun agreement is when it comes to embarrassment in other languages.
Maybe your class is just really bad at French, though.

Well, yes, "ma Mari" would be correct if talking about me, but "mon mari" is correct when talking about the husband, and using "mon" apparently made it funnier.
(But yes, we were pretty horrible at it. I don't think any of us would've been able to carry a conversation in French for more than "Hi! How are you? What's your name? My name is [...]" and maybe conjucate 2 verbs in present tense after 3 + 2 years.)
Also, blog thread, I just realized I basically got paid to travel to Tokyo this year. We had to pay 12 000NOK in advance for the trip, not knowing how much we would get reimbursed for working on an IT day (which for 10 people meant a TON of work and for the 50 others meant carrying some chairs and attending some presentations to make the companies talking believe that a lot of people wanted to attend their presentations) when we got back.. First we got 10 000NOK back right before the trip, which was awesome and meant lots of pocket money, and then all of a sudden, we now get 4 400-5 100NOK back! Which means that we ended up getting 380-490 dollars more than we actually had to pay for the trip, not including pocket money.. Which is all kinds of cool.
And it hailed (and rained) yesterday. It is June, for christ's sake. I ended up soaking wet and freezing at like 8:30 AM, and had to take an exam in soaking wet clothes and it was horrible. I was basically chilly until I went to bed last night, in wool socks and wool thermal underwear, with a duvet and two blankets. It's June!
