      I found I could pick up Dutch ok with my German ability. Of course it probably didn’t hurt that I was sleeping with a hot Dutch guy at the time.

        So I got stuck in AMS overnight on my way back from Berlin (Delta's fault) a couple months ago, and I'm looking at all these extra vowels and the letter 'j's on the condiment bottles (sorry ) in the hotel they stuck me in, and I'm just like, "This does not even seem close". But from what I hear, the native Dutch don't have much problem understanding German, but NOT vice versa?

        I've heard this about the various dialects of India, too. Hindi speakers can broadly understand Bengali speakers (same language family), kind of understand Telugu speakers (not the same language family, but still enough similarity), and barely understand Tamil speakers (almost a completely different language), but not the other way around, and some/most of the details might get lost.

          The funny thing is, I've watched a lot of cycling races in Dutch over the years, because that was the only way to see a lot of the spring classics back in the old days. And I can't make heads or tails of that guttural dialect, but then every once in a while, there's a complete English phrase stuck in the middle of the race commentary, such as "grrrgghh grrrghhh derrrggh verrggg over the top grrggghh grenm"

          Always struck me as very strange.

                    Heard an argument in Vietnamese French one time: stuff stuff stuff doom on you stuff stuff stuff.

                    I asked later and found out it was "du ma nhieu", not the English I'd heard, and it's far worse than "doom on you". Something more like GFY.

                        Errol Flynn died 60 years ago. He was only born 7 years earlier than she and Olivia is still kickin' it. That's gotta be closing in on the record for former, well, you know.

                        Edit: actually it probably isn't. All you need is some potentate banging a 10-year old and keeling over and her continuing on until she's 90.

                        Let's say maybe it's closing in on the record not counting statutory rape.

                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              My guess would be lifestyle comma general.

                              We're both gonna feel so bad when it's lupus.

                              From her Wikipedia article, yikes:

                              Massaro also alleged that she was sexually assaulted at a US military base during a WWE tour of Kuwait and that WWE apologized but persuaded her not to report it to the appropriate authorities
                              This timeline really is what it would be like if the Nazis won the war. You're off to a better place, Ashley.
