<hr class="hr" width="100%" size="1"> Its The big 50,a Golden year for the Beech's Baron..50 yrs old now.

Equally impressive to note the venerable DC-3 ,is now 75yrs old.

..They appear to be in good health for their age,still stylish,reliable,versatile,good looking,and exciting..even after all those years....True Ramp attention getters with an infectious personality!,and it seems they may go on forever...as The IRISH say..."MAZELLTOFF..and long may you grace our skys...

On a personal note,I'm glad that I'm a little older than both...nice growing up with them....Vin

It may be hard for you to imagine,and its not your fault...Growing up in NYC,a long time ago..one was assaulted with a multitude of languages,cultures,flavors,expression..and being like a big pot..the ingredients get mixed..The Richness of this is every one got along fine....Story of Immigrant America! in my case..It was the best of times,and the worse of times......Aufenthaltbrunnen mein Freund und goodby.....Vin

Aufenthaltbrunnen

Err...what?

 

[n4gix]

Err...what?

I think he meant: Aufenthalt-Brunnen mein Freund.

For our Norweigian friends it's: Blir Godt min venn.

In english: Stay well my friend.

In Yiddish: בלייַבן געזונט מיין פרייַנד

 

[Bjoern]

Aufenthalt-Brunnen

Stay well

Now that makes sense.


Some terms just sound so silly if they're literally translated...

 

[beana51]

Well ya know/"STAY WELL HAVE FUN"... For the want of a coma,the war begun!...Like the tower of "BABEL" revisited...Now at the UN, All those languages???...No Problem!!...NOT!!

 

[n4gix]

Now that makes sense.

Oh, such as...

Wie viel Holz kann ein Murmeltier Futter, wenn ein Murmeltier könnte futter Holz.?

 

[Daveroo]

whats this thread about?

 

[Bjoern]

Wie viel Holz kann ein Murmeltier Futter, wenn ein Murmeltier könnte futter Holz.?

Apart from the grammar, that actually makes sense. :d

 

[n4gix]

I had to deliberately "fracture the grammar" in order to keep the literal sense of the english puns...

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Dunno.

Would it not depend on the wood, the woodchuck and the chuck?

"Sah ein knabe ein roslein stehen, roslein auf der heiden
War so jung und morgenschone" and that's it from German class - fifty seven years ago.

 

[beana51]

During my association with Woodchucks, I came to the conclusion that woodchucks don't chuck wood but only drink beer.....At least those of us living in the Catskill Mts . of NY who were called WOODCHUCKS!!!

Godd memory, sir!

According to a recent commercial, woodchucks DO chuck wood, albeit it is the farmer's wood they're chucking into the retention pond...

Presumably this was only after swilling the farmer's entire cache of homebrew though... :ernae:
