Depends on the team you are listening to ... and the competency of the talking heads.

Living in a multi-lingual culture it can be even more surreal. Try listening to it in Punjabi.

The Rangers crew is pretty good, but it's hard to translate such a fast paced game to radio.

Trying to learn german, as our professor that we will most likely be "going to Germany" to immediately get hired once we finish our course...

And I have to say, there are some things that I can't just pronounce right...:lol:

You know, life is too short to learn German. :lol:

German is quite learnable, in a year or two (thanks to a rather ominous high-school german teacher, I know). Austrian on the other hand....
First time I went to Austria, I tried to speak German with a gas station attendant. When he started blabbering back at me...it sounded German-ish, but to understand it, I would have needed the Enigma machine.

Better yet is not be a faddist and mark yourself up in the first place.

It brings to mind the story of the sweet young thing who had a tattoo of an eagle done on her left breast. By the time she turned 80 ... it was a condor.

Ooooooor... you could just do whatever you want with your own body, as long as you're not hurting anyone else

I'd never really considered getting a tattoo, even while I was in the Navy (not a big fan of pain or needles... snakes either, so a snake with a hypodermic needle will cause me to quickly turn and run!).

But if I were to ever get one, it's have to be something tremendously important to me.

Most people I know with them have a story to tell. Still, more than one admits they were stupid about it (girlfriends name, not wife. Then had to get another one to cover it over).

Thats pretty much the reason why Stumpen, the vocalist of Knorkator, is to one half covered in tattoos. In his younger years, you had been able to see more un-inked Skin.

OCTOBER 31, 2014
Like flipping a light switch. Off to on in so much as an instant, the anticipated westerlies of the South Atlantic have finally arrived—28 knots now—and it never ceases to amaze me how quickly life onboard can change. One minute you’re enjoying a nice casual sleep, twelve knots of wind and comfortable in your sleeping bag. Things are pretty mellow, tranquillo as Charlie says. Your iPod probably ran out of battery while you were dreaming, dreaming about home, maybe a steak in Cape Town. It really doesn’t matter—you are dreaming.
Something wakes you and you open your eyes and ears to a very different, very alarming setting. It’s pretty chaotic, actually. Your eyes adjust to the darkness, slowly, with the only light coming from red headlamps of the guys doing very much the same all around you. As the boat careens through the night like an out of control freight train, carving a trench through the ocean while obliterating every bit of water in its way, it is loud—constant loud like the rumble of distant thunder. You can actually hear the speed, feel the speed. Like accelerating in a sports car with your eyes closed, off-road, in the rain.
People on deck are yelling, bags down below are flying, waves are shooting through the hatch, and all you and everyone else just rising from their bunks are trying to do is wake up, simply get to your feet. And the kettle’s just tumbled to leeward because the boat is on its side. You hear it clank loudly, twice, on the way down and it lands in the [rapidly filling] bilge with an audible splash—a noise so annoying, so bothersome in principle--that you know it will someday occupy your nightmares. Gonna have to go get that. Like, right now.

Ah, I remember seeing that dead Dropbox link. You'll be pleased to hear that that image is now the lock screen of my PC.

In the spirit of All Hallows' Eve... I present... Candy Corn Fangs! (admit it, you guys do this too, particularly those who have children).
