Hey, Schanilec, or somebody,
A new detail place opened up just down the road and it's run by a Czech, Michal Malos. He doesn't speak English very well, but communicates nicely. I was looking to just make the Jeep righteous, but he showed me what he was doing to a Lexus and I was impressed. The price he quoted was astonishingly reasonable. He is in the wilderness of rural Alabama and has taken on a few of our cultural eccentricities; he keeps calling me Mister John. So I want to show him the same respect. How would one address him? "friend", "brother", "mister", in Czech? I want to show him I'm a grateful customer who will make the effort, just as he does. Suggestions? JWE
Just a good greeting will do fine. These are not the correct spellings but try this.
Yuksomosh: basically hello, how are you.
The reply.
Dobrae: basically I'm fine.
Find out where is from in Czechoslovakia. And go from there.
I'm third generation and that is about all I remember now a days. My aunts know Bohemian but don't use it much and forgotten most of the language. Really haven't heard it much since I was a kid and also have forgotten most of what I knew. Dad and my grandparents are gone now, they used to converse quite a bit. There some north of here that still speak it quite well.
Not to hijack..but is that what Borat is saying all of the time when he greets someone? To me, it sounds like he has been saying "yazhamesh"? is that it, but actually spelled the way you spelled it?
Thanks.

And I was so niave I never even suspected
Even when one of my boilers "somehow lost its water level"

Kristian, Dude [8D]
Long before Great Britain sent her bog-trotting Irish trash, and thieves, cut-purses, cuthroats, harlots, destitute and beggars, to Australia, she sent them to America, mostly to Georgia (sorry canoerebel).
Way, way, back in the day, when Ted Turner was sailing Tenacious to every singly win there was, and about the time he was defecating on that pathetic AC Mariner hull/keel design, Australia made him an honory citizen. Australians know their history and knew Ted came from Goergia. So they made a hangman's noose and put it on Ted's neck. And he wore it through the whole ceremony because he too was descended from hardened criminals.
Ciao. John

Good night. Long day, up early, with the sun to tame the wisteria we have growing over our patio. I gets trimmed back twice a year to keep it in check, it is usually a couple hour project, up a ladder in tight quarters. At least I don't have to wear an air pack and turnout gear!
Then to a friends house for a full day of playing Federation Commander. Lots of fun there. Many a starship killed, except for mine! [:D]
Then to a Titan's preseason football game against the Falcons with my daughter. Now, home, exhausted and ready for bed and I find two turns waiting on me for WITP:AE and another for Federation and Empire PBEM. They are going to have to wait until after church tomorrow!
