I actually met a man once who had a good reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane...it had a perfectly lousy pilot!  After the pilot's third attempt to land the C-47 in a strong cross wind, he and the rest of the paratroopers on board anounched they were getting off.  And they took the nurse with them! ;)

Kanichiwa, Nobu!   ;D

I like your penguin too, Firegirl!  Where do you find those?  I've a friend looking for good IM avatars.

I could swear it is konichiwa but I might be mistaken :)
The average pilot, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

You're probably right.... but then transliteration between languages, especially of varied character sets is always problematic.  Since I can't read katakana, or kanji, and speak very little Japanese, I defer any spelling to your judgement.

Now... if it was Russian, I can speak and read it, etc.  Cyrillic is far easier... it only has 36 characters to worry about  :)

Hehe, well actually it's "konnichiwa" with two n!  ;) ;D

Wow, you can speak Russian? Awesomov! Wow, we should make a list of all the languages spoken in here. I'm sure it would get pretty long!

Cool!  Thanks Stef!!  Two n's?!  I wouldn't have thought it, but then again, transliteration isn't my field :)

I actually learned to speak Russian many years ago so I could ask a girl out on a date.  She was a Russian immigrant, so I did all I could to learn the language.  It worked too... I ended up dating her for almost two years :)

I speak a smattering of words in other languages, though with much smaller vocabulary...  I speak a very few words of Mandarin Chinese, Thai, Tagaloo, French, Spanish, and Ukranian (which is close to Russian).  This, of course, doesn't include my computer languages, nor my Klingon and Vulcanian   ;D

Ah, I know what you mean! My Japanese never improved as fast as when I had a Japanese girlfriend. Pillowlearning is definitely the fastest and most entertaining form of learning a language!  ;D ow that I'm in a long term serious relationship, my language skills are definitely deteriorating.

Aha, seems like you had a lot of other girlfriends in your time!!!  ;D Would you care to show us a picture of the Klingon one!?!  ;D ;D ;D

I've seen that Japanese phrase spelled so many different ways, even by Japanese speakers, that I really don't think there is a single "correct" way.    The two N's is a new one to me, but I don't have a way to say which one is more common.  ;)
