I wonder if the guys do know the haka...I'm sure they've seen it.

The haka is fairly impressive before a rugby game, I'll grant you that.  That is one time it's good to see.

I maintain that PB would do a fearsome haka. I want front row seats for that.

Hugh Laurie

wait, no no he's not snobbish!
and he's not a Brit
he's a Scotch

which still makes him a brit. given that he is born and raised english but identifies as scottish i dare say brit is the best way of describing him. and yes, precisely. he might not be a snob, but he certainly excels for that particular mental image. mmmmmmmmm! :D [/random pointless hugh moment]

Hey, I started this thread, keep your snobbish advice to yourself!

:confused:

up the lithium prescription?

[OneArpeggioPete]

well, thanks a bundle, but if that's the way you talk to people you think are cute i can't help but wonder about your relationship life...

Richie McCaw does a good haka.  And then there's that new haka they started up last year that got all of the controversy.

You posted some pics of yourself on here and I thought you looked really cute.

Hey.  You've already got one thread for solicitation.

Here's what Michael once said at a gig (at least what I remember):
"I don't know, if you knew that 'Stipe' originally is a german name. It comes from the word 'Steiß' which is very close to the word 'shit'. So I who come from shit..."
I wouldn't second that!!!

cheers Mottje, that is the one i was referring too, but then i couldn't find the place where i read it

the only thing that steiss is not meaning shite ...at least not when i learnt German, but maybe im wrong...

*takes a mental note: don't learn foreign words from Mr. Stipe in the future

[OneArpeggioPete]

well, i guess it's sort of anatomically close to shit anyhow... ;)

I meant to write Scots-Irish.

On another hand, the surname Mills is both English and is a Scottish sept so that means Mills could be English, Scottish, or Scots-Irish. Also, Mills is of French origin.

C'est vrais.

Heh, Louis XVI, you pretend to be French and you can't even spell a three-word sentence properly? :p

[zack2sb]

Well, the word, that I know of that is close to this is scheiss, which means shit in German. It is a slang word for it. Not steiss, but that is close. Does steiss have another meaning anatomically?

the part Cherokee ancestry is kind of interesting.  I think that tribe was from the south east of the US, and I was reading that Johnny Depp also has part German, part Cherokee ancestry.

Just thought you'd like to know that trivia!

I bought this book in Athens, GA when I was there in 02.  It's a book called and about "The tree that owns itself" It sits on a big hill located on Finchley Street.  Which you can see if you ever go to Athens.  And it has some short stories in it about how the Cherokees once tried to settle there but were forced out of their homes. Interesting book though.
