Title: CHUCK'S EARS
Post by: fireflyr on April 15, 2006, 10:30:27 AM
Just a thought here (moment of midnite clarity induced by bottle of fine Gewurztraminer), how does Chuck keep his sunglasses on--I mean chickens ain't got ears, also noticed his smile is funny cause chickens don't have teeth=====why=why=why :D
Lucy, you got some splainin' to do!

LOL, funny. And if he doesn't have ears what's the headset for? About the teeth then Chicken's can actually have teeth, at least it's in the genes they found, or maybe it was an extint chicken species that had teeth. something like that.

And of course then there's the thing with Chuck's eyes never being seen, just like Beetle Bailey (although Mort did draw them once, but it wasn't published until many years later in a special).

hmmm... Gewurztraminer! Yummy!
I am mostly a red wine fan though. California has some of the best plus they say it's good for you!
(I don't know who "they" are but why would "they" lie, right?!)

Ok, uhhmm... so, what was the question again?

Gewurztraminer? Was ist das für ein Dingsbumbs? Ich have deutsch gelernt für einige Jahre her und eigentlich bin ich teilweise detsch, meine Mittelnahme Nevad ist eigentlich die familienahme des Mutters meine mutters Vater das in Deutschland in 1899 gebohren wurde aber mit eine dënische vater. Bitte um versauhung that meine grammatische fëhichkeiten zu hohen himmel riecht aber obwohl ich die Zeiten verstehst dann have ich grosse Probleme mit den geschlecht zu herstellen.

Men for at fortsætte på mit oprindelige modersmål kan jeg forestille mig at du vil prøve at holde Chucks øjne hemmelige.

Frank

P.S. I haven't written german in years so my spelling besides the gender of the words are probably wrong but considering how little practice I have it's actually pretty good. And that last line said that I understand that Chuck's eyes are probably meant to stay a mystery.

Well Frank,
Gewurztraminer is an exceptionally fruity wine---dryer than a sweet dessert wine and very light on the pallette.   Und vas is Dingsbumbs?
Title: Re: CHUCK'S EARS
Post by: Frank N. O. on April 17, 2006, 01:16:45 AM
Ah, that explains it, I got skills in analyzing language basics, even for words imported from other languages and I couldn't get that to mean anything.

Dingsbums = Doohickey, thingamaging etc. etc. In danish my dad used to say: himstergims til en vejrmøkke. Himstergims is like Dingsbums but to enhance the expression "for a weathermill" was added :D I do think the classic expressions are so much funnier and nicer than modern slang-terms but that's of course individual.

Sliver Oaks winery is just down the road and they have a Cabernet that's absolutely killer but I actually prefer a Merlot.   And it is healthy, "they" assured me of that! ;)
Yeah-yeah, I'm such a wine snob----HAHAHA, my primary requisite for a drinkable wine is that it be obtainable for less than 5 bucks a bottle---narrows the field a lot but there are some bargains out there if you shop around.   I generally only splurge for company.
Title: Re: CHUCK'S EARS
Post by: Mike on April 17, 2006, 02:40:48 AM
Merlot, huh?!

THAT'S MY FAVORITE!!!

I am kind of a wine snob too. We grew up in Austria where the whole country is "wine country" not just a part of it plus my brother worked for a winery for a little while part time....

Here is a funny story:
When I first came here I didn't know much about the heavy Californian red wines and was even arrogant enough to state something like "you Americans don't know your wines....bla bla..."  . . .
Well it turnes out the first time I sat together with people drinking wine, the red ones knocked me on my @$$ man!!! (I think it was the Cabernet)
After a glass and a half I was telling "no shit, here I was" stories!! HA HA :D
Turns out the Austrian red wines are a little lighter (I guess they get less sun than the ones in CA or Australia...)

So it turns out to have some German lessons here. Finally!

Frank. I could not stop laughing for a while being surprised by a full German text here written from a Danish person. GREAT!!! |:)\

Dingsbums? The most important word for an ab-so-lute clear statement about a thing! It can mean everything and therefore it makes it all clear.

Translation: Dingsbums – thingy

Wine? Yea, we live in a whine region here. No wine, no movement, no Dingsbums, no nothing!
Title: Re: CHUCK'S EARS
Post by: Frank N. O. on April 26, 2006, 09:18:54 PM
Thanks Roland, I'll take that as confirmation the main text was understandable despite the problems with figuring out if the word is a der, die oder das. And that woman is female but girl is neutrum just makes it even more confusing, thankfully danish just has two genders and english one.

Personally I think between jokes and driving, and before I die, flying as well, then I have no need for alchohol, and with my families health-record that should only be a good thing for my chances of reaching old age (long sad story, lets just say cigarettes and beer are extra-bad for my health but luckily I've never had any real interest in trying it, and that also means more money for fuel! :D ).

Post by: Mike on April 26, 2006, 10:05:55 PM
I saw on TV that 2 beers a day for a guy and one beer a day for a woman is supposed to be healthy!!

And there is also the famous one glass of red wine!

With all that, I'll find out if it's true because I like a beer with dinner and a glass of red wine before I go to bed. Can't get any healthier than that ;)
I'll let you know in 50 years if it worked!

Yeah Mike, I'll just be holding my breath too.    er, by the way, you were talking 40 oz beers and a a 750 ml glass of red were'nt you ? (Heaven knows, once you pull the cork on that Merlot, it starts to go bad unless consumed NOW!!!) *insert drunk smiley*
Title: Re: CHUCK'S EARS
Post by: Mike on April 27, 2006, 12:28:58 AM
Good point!

I don't remember if they mentioned it, but until I find out I might just have one of those beers Firegirl is holding in the "introduce yourself"-picture she posted  ;)

You go firegirl!! |:)\

Post by: Roland on April 27, 2006, 06:10:31 AM
@ fireflyr:

Finally a person who understands me. My glasses of wine also have 750 ml. An uncorked glass of Malvasier (white wine) shouts to be finished. And I can’t stand that noise!
. And how is that saying going? A glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away?

Pins and needles? Again, as long as there is Malvasier in it, no problem.

Che… hicks…ers, ehm...prost!

Don’t worry. I would never work on any helicopter drunk. I couldn’t. There is no space for tools in my toolbox due to all that bottles of wine in it …

Roland, you rascal----you understand the importance of a good bottle of wine being made to integrate with the inner being of the person who appreciates the effort of the winemaker to bring the very soul of the vineyard to the ultimate consumer!
Beer is for the good fellows who are enjoying an evening, Hard liquor is for those seeking to forget bad times, but wine soothes the senses and brings us to a visceral oneness with nature's purity!

Wow, that's deep!
Like a modern Saint Exupery mixed with a little W.C. Fields... ;)

Beer is good to kill the thirst after a long day, but good wine . . .  that's a lifestyle!! (especially red wines!)  ;D

Btw, I had the opportunity to visit a wine yard in Connecticut during my training on the K-Max at Kaman, Bloomfield (Frank, don’t be disappointed, it was during the weekend.) This winemaker made a lovely white wine which I brought home. I liked his Cabernet Sauvignane (as I always do).

I don;t think anyone here do anything serious while drunk, you all seem like you know how to enjoy what you do while still being responsible, just like I try but thanks for the re-assurance, it's always nice to have confirmation of ones assumptions  |:)\

Btw, I do think that after the first post of this page you mistook me for Fireflyr whose real name is Jim.

Nice avatar you got there as well  8)

P.S. Mike if you read this, did you get my last pm entitled Life? I've had a few connection problems, long waiting times for loading of pages and such, also at this forum so maybe it didn't get thrue?

For me it's more like: Planes, helicopters(a plane/airplane is specifically a fixed-wing aircraft as far as I know), computers, computergames, music, movies, nature, cars, driving and milady Cheyenne (a Lady for me is a really wonderful noble woman who deserves respect and that is what I think of my best friend Chey)!

So let’ rise our glasses to have a toast to Chey:

may your live be prosperous and sweet on the side of this great man, Frank. Not only you but we too are allowed to shear a little bit of his interesting live, thoughts, questions, suggestions and inputs to this forum. And I believe, as a best friend Chey is above all this. Cheers to your health, may God give you all the luck and sweetness.  |:)\

I shall raise my glass too (Cabernet Sauvignon today)! ;)

I wonder if Chey gets asked as many questions as we do! HA HA!!  ;D
(just kidding Frank, we love you and love answering your questions...)

Actually she does get asked questions and I get several in return but otherwise we just talk about a lot of things and sometimes I also send videoclips her way, like the one with the Harvards waterskiing but sadly I haven't heard from her in a while and last I heard, after not having heard from her in almost two weeks, she'd been sick with a lung infection and I'm getting really worried about her and at the same time things pile up here with new apointments to keep, find, new illness, and new failed projects for me. I definately have the wrong interests for living in Denmark. Computergame creation and aviation aren't exactly big here.

My only real pleasures life isn't food or drink or clubbing etc. I just like driving, working on the computer with creating stuff, playing games and then in-between relaxing with a walk in a forrest or looking at a nice view in a quiet area but that's not easy to do/get here.

Frank, just head south of Europe. Try to apply at Jo Wood computer games here in Austria. Then I can show you how to enjoy a glass of wine …  ;)
And you will find all the rest your are dreaming off.  ;D

Welcome Alberdíaz, don't be shy and introduce yourself!!

BTW, boys, have you ever tasted a wine called "Oyster Bay" from New Zealand? Looks like a cheap wine, due to the screwcap, and I'm not a really good taster, but I find it incredibly good, same place that Gewurztraminer that is at the top of the list................8 hrs, uh? Don't forget it!

How does a wine glass holder look like? Is it for white wine glasses or red wine glasses? Or both? What with Prosecco? Tell us, please.

Actually, here in the California wine region, we try not to look lik snobs, so we drink both red and white wines from 1 pint mayonaise jars and that's what my holder is designed for-------what is "prosecco"  ???

1 pint mayonnaise jars! Good God. Cheers then!
Next step is a bucket. That one you can hook on that handle on the roof of certain aircrafts. ;D

Prosecco is a sparkling white wine, but no Champagne. Sweetish stuff, a girls (and brown-haters ;)) drink. But that will fit into a jar as well, I suppose. ::)

AH AH! You made me remember a quick scene from my past life as a student pilot. I flew (gosh, I'm not sure about the right use of the past!! is it right or does it take another form!?!?) to Samedan, that's a small airport in the mountains, near St. Moritz (Switzerland, BTW). I was there with the instructor and we were going to have a quick lunch plus debriefing before flying back home. At the restaurant I ordered a Skiwasser (that's a kind of syrup with rhum or something alcoholic inside), before realizing, by the glance I was given, tha maybe it was better to go for a coke!!! Opssss!   :( :(
