I suppose, maybe something like an Igor saying "Yesss." Though in Yiddish, it's ye.Menolly wrote:ken, moreh.
*nod*
But cain works well for a vampiric game, especially for a yiddish speaker, nu?
Y'know what the difference is between a Scott and Mick Jagger, Goat?
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Mick Jagger says, "Hey, you, get offa my cloud." The Scot says, "Hey, MacLeod, get offa my ewe."

Yes, but this particular Yiddish speaker is also (supposedly) fluent in Hebrew. So with the eastern European accent, ken could morph into cain..?[Syl Embattled] wrote:I suppose, maybe something like an Igor saying "Yesss." Though in Yiddish, it's ye.Menolly wrote:ken, moreh.

Ashkenazi versus sephardi pronunciation, perhaps?

*shrug* One of my instructors was about as close to the stereotypical Ashkenazi Jew as you're likely to find, and he didn't. It may be possible, but... well, Cain is a Hebrew name and it has an entirely different spelling than ken (ken is spelled with a kaf, Cain is spelled with a kuf and has a yod before the nun).

Moreover, he has a Foul Duck. And likely doesn't even know the implications)
But actually, if I'm not mistaken, he pronounced himself a GT vegetarian once, as opposed to a vegan. Even voted for the Watchies.
By the way, Goat, did you mention them this year? I have a link in my sig. The voting is still open.

Anything accessible via the links under the banner (like Profile, etc.) aren't forum pages, they're administration. That includes the store.
I received the Foul Duck as a gift, because I wanted the full set of ducks, and there wer e none in the store at the time. I don't know what it means, other than that I have a collection of messed up rubber duckies. Including the glow-in-the-dark zombie duck, the ninja duck, and the pirate duck. There's also a BDSM duck with a ball gag in his mouth, which is also a fully functional (and totally waterproof) vibrator. Ore-Sama tells me that I'm kind of creepy for wanting her to actually use it. So, for now, it just sits on the mantle with the rest of the ducks.

Also, a few years ago, I declared the Watchie nomination threads for GT specific categories to be also part of GT, even if the threads themselves were mis-filed to other areas. They're 100% about GT stuff, so they qualify. Since GT people are always so respectful and awesome, there's never to my knowledge been a situation where a mod was needed. My title is entirely honorary.
Respectful and awesome as players. In-character, many of us are ginormous assholes. But that's totally reasonable, I think.
Especially Fist. His characters are really annoying.
But, I guess I should go promote the GT Watchies this year, since we bothered to have them and all. What was going on in 2010-2011? Rogue Trader and Acro 1.0 had some really amazing stuff going on. Some of Stone's storylines in RT made me shiver.
And, of course, I think the most recent Pantheon turn happened back then, so it's still a viable candidate. Is there a category for longest turn cycle ever? (Sorry Xar, I had to go there. You know it's only out of love, though.)

The Sheriff has declared that these Watchies shall encompass both 2010 and 2011. However, they will compete against each other, instead of in separate year categories.
Be certain to double check dates of posts/threads/games you wish to nominate, as one not posted in those two years will be disqualified.
(so sayeth the second Watchy mod)
