False. I still eat things I've dropped on the floor.

IBTNP didn't know that the dirtiest place in a public bathroom is the door handle inside. The one you must grab on the way out.

False, I couldn't give a damn about football.

IBTNP thinks the above statement is sacrilege.

Uh, I never went to High School. No idea how to answer that.
Home school rocks though.

IBTNP doesn't wear shorts... ever.

The LOL will never end so long as there are loyal fans who keep the LOL alive in their hearts.

EDIT: I don't know the difference between 'there' and 'their'.

Why does 'there' look weird in that sentence? Fuck the English language. It's like a sick joke.

I have put some deep thought into this, but constructing my answer in an intelligent way is difficult. It'll probably be a TL;DR post in the near future.

I don't need shorts that badly, but it's cool that you'd give them away.

Over the last 12 months, I’ve worked on a game that I thought might have the interest of people around here.
It's called "cruelly ridicule the one post wonders who get past the spam traps".
It may need a shorter name.
What do you think?

Yeah I'd believe I have asthma. Doesn't really shock me one bit.

What did happen to BS?

Went to a see my doc yesterday about allergy meds and apparently I wasn't geeky enough. I needed asthma... you know, just to top everything off, let's give her an inhaler.

Entertainment / Re: What TV Shows do you watch ?

Criminal Minds
Lie to Me
Bones
In Plain Sight

NatGeoChannel
The entire set of Science Channels
All of the History Channels
Occasionally A&E and TLC when I'm really bored.

Otherwise I read... unless I'm writing. Which still counts since I have to read over what I'm writing in order to write it.

I had to read Greek mythology for high school. The only part of any of them that I liked was the story of Medusa. I avoided the cheesy ass movie because I didn't want to see my favourite part of Greek mythology fucked up. When I heard the Kraken was in it, I avoided the cheesy ass movie with extreme prejudice.
Did I leave that sarcasm flag somewhere?

To the asshole in the pink shirt with white writing about some church on it who stood up and told my manager from Vietnam (whose accent is as thick as your sweet tea) that she ought to hire American waitresses who speak English, go to fucking hell. She is an American and her English is good enough. The next time you come up in here I'm speaking French to your ass the entire time I wait on you (because it's the only language I remember enough of to pull that off). Maybe I'll speak a different language every time I roll up to your table. Possibly Klingon. Suck on that.

I did enjoy my boss walking back to the wait station, steaming mad, after telling him that she didn't need his business, and saying, "Send him to Vietnam and make him work in a restaurant there. See how it feels." Then she continued to vent in Vietnamese for twenty minutes.

I was left to explain to the new hire that the boss wasn't mad at her. She was mad at the table for being assholes. I learned that 'asshole' doesn't translate easily into Russian. Which is sad, because if you've read to here, you've surely caught on by now, that 'asshole' is my one of my favorites, second only to 'fuck'. 'Fuck' only wins by means of diversity of usage.

Now that I've littered this thread with swear words, I just want to say, honest, hard working people who get into this country legally are just as American as the next person who was born here. And I'm sorry your fine tuned ears cannot understand her accent. She probably can't understand your accent either. And who are you to say something about her English? Her sentences are better constructed than yours. Let's talk about your shitty English. What's your excuse? It's supposed to be your first language.

There... now I think I'm done. Yup. Done.

I do not recall a Kraken in the story of Medusa.
Then again, I don't recall a lot of things about that book.
I thought it was boring.
But then, I was an angry teenager back then.
Maybe I should read it again.

I like graphs.

Wow. Not a single hairball in the entire sentence.
|>  :-D

So it might be easier for her, if I beat-repeat a directive? "There. Put it over there."

I usually end up being the go-to person for anyone who comes in with English as a second language, but Spanish and a handful of Asian languages I'm familiar enough with that I can make English make sense. Russian... yeah, this is a new on me, but everyone is still "Rose, explain this to her" and now she's "Rose, explain this to me". That link is awesome, didn't want to blindly trust wikipedia, but if I can get a handle on what she's translating English into from, I can understand her better (which makes us understand each other better which equals happiness all around - everyone hold hands now and sing with me). All of this is with the added difficulties of working in the South where people talk with heavy accents, quickly, over top of one another, loudly, and without pauses between their words. But that rant goes over in some other forum.

Thanks a bunch!

We recently hired a new waitress who's only been in the US for a year and a half, she's a legal resident from Russia. Her English is okay, but I have some questions about Russian.

Are there separate identifiers as in English, like 'this' 'that' 'there', or is it all one word like 'desu' in Japanese?

Is the sentence structure similar to English, like noun-verb-object, or is it more like the Asian noun-object-verb?

Is there a way to say "It's okay, the people at that table are just assholes." in Russian? Actually just teach me 'asshole' in Russian. And 'idiot'. Just because I want to know how to say 'idiot' in yet another language.

Just curious to know how specific I need to be and if there's anything I can do to help her understand me better because I speak zero Russian. If I'm running around saying 'put this over there next to that' and she needs me to be more 'put the cup on the counter next to the tea urn', I can just need to know. Also, loving that I'm not the only one in the restaurant asking questions like they're statements anymore. "What can I get for you." Fuck your goddamned questioning tones I'll tell you what I can get for you, bitch!

This is public because every geek needs yet another way to call a person an asshole and an idiot. I'm doing all of you a public service.
