Hello?

*walks into an empty place while footsteps echo*

Hmm.

Anyway, I have returned after my religious hiatus and I am glad to be back. I do trust that everyone is still the same and I don’t know it that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Nether the less I am back because officially after the Easter Vigil lent is over and I am pleased to say that this year is extra special because I, for the first time ever, kept my Easter promises.

Yes folks, I have conquered my addiction to DC and I have triumph over the sin of Gluttony! Just to give you a heads up I always give up two things for lent so that way if I mess up one I can have a back up plan.

Anyway I am glad to see that everyone is still here, and Happy Easter to you all.

Hello again. Hopefully this time around will end up better, if not, well... I'll be elsewhere then.

And a late "恭喜发财" to you as well.

John: Alex!
Alex: What?
John: Come here.
Alex: No you mere.
John: Just get your butt over here.
Alex: Fine. What?
John: What does that say?
Alex: What does what say.
John: That word in Hyperion's post.
Alex: I don't know man. I don't speak Chinese. I speak Japanese!
John: What's the difference?

The difference is that they are two different languages that, while closely related, are very much separate in meanings.

"恭喜发财" : "Gōngxǐ fācái" : "Gong hei fat choi" : "Congratulations and be prosperous" : Semi-traditional greeting for the Chinese New Year.

Ugh! Here we go again. I was trying to be humorous, Hyperion.

Your attempts at humor lack... Humor.

Come on, Hyperion. Even I knew he was kidding.

I do not appreciate anyone's attempts at humor, less so those which involve sarcasm.

Segovia, Fritz says you're retarded. However, let it be noted that I am only saying this to please Fritz, and the contents of the message delivered in no way reflect the opinion of the messenger.

Well that was quite predictable really.

Plus I just noticed that Hyperion didn't get the notion that I was able to distinquish chinese from japanese. Which if he did then he would of known I wasn't serious. Oh well what's in the past is in the past.

I can tell Japanese from Chinese as well, being expected to read Chinese, but that in no manner allows me to read Japanese; so logically, doing the reverse would be no reason for your statement to not be serious.
Oh well what's in the past is in the past.
Not really, as you keep bringing it up, which, due to the interesting nature of conversations, prompts me to respond.

Hyperion I already pointed that out, so now YOU'RE bringing it up for no reason.

I know, I tend to be hypocritical once it gets past midnight.

Here Roger, have a Marty. :marty:
