Knock your teeth out and say 'shit'.

'sz' is pronounced like English 'sh' and 'cz' like 'ch' as in "much"

so saying '-szcz' would be like saying '-sh-ch', which is very much like saying '-st' (as in "must") but your tongue's a lil' more retracted.

altogether, Bydgoszcz spelled so that read in English it more or less resembles the original, would be something like bid-goh-shch (I put an 'h' after 'o' so that you make a clearer 'o' rather than an 'ou'/'eu' diphtong). There

I think my explanation was better.

surprisingly enough, it wasn't bad.

I rather say "bidgohseuz".

What? You're actually allowed to walk freely in Poland?

are you ridiculing the recent political affairs in Poland or are you just a jerk?

did you shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die?

PiP · Post by **PiP** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 12:51 pm

no I repeatedly and vigorously jumped on one guy's chest until his ribs pierced his sides.

My Great Great Grandparents. Originally two photos...Took about 3 hours in Photoshop to get the final. Looks 100% when printed, and that's all that matters.

I shot a man in New Reno just to watch half his torso go flying.
Then I shot about 150 other people just because the AI turned them
into suicidal lemmings.

Is she an Amerindian, Ryno?

When was that picture taken?

Great Great Grandparents sounds like the 18th century, but certainly not the automobile era.

ExtremeDrinker · Post by **ExtremeDrinker** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 11:43 pm

They died in the mid-50's. Parents of my Great grandparents (from 1913) who in turn were the parents of my Grandmother (1932). American Indian, yes. My grandmother and mother look strikingly similar to her. Somehow the genes for dark skin and the general "indian" look completely skipped my red-haired, gray eyed ass.

Ryno looks more like an albatross.

The resemblance is uncanny

S4ur0n27 · Post by **S4ur0n27** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 2:45 pm

I'd say Ryno is a tad bigger.
