The Hungarian website Velvet.hu did a little piece on me. I like the “Word on the Street” part at the end! :-)
Here is the article run through Google Translator.

Word of the day by ...
A story about Hungary from the times of the Word War II:
In South America, at a diplomatic banquet, two men, who were sitting at the table side by side, were talking to each other. They did not know, however, neither their nationalities nor the names.
“And which country do you represent?”, asked the representative of Uruguay.
“Hungary, sir.”
“Hungary, Hungary…”, wondered the Uruguayan, “Excuse me, sir, but I forgot where this country is situated: in Europe or in Asia?”
“In Europe”, said the offended Hungarian.
“Ah, yes, yes, so it must be one of the Slavic countries.”
“No, we live in central Europe and we come from the Huns.”
“You are the descendants of the Huns and you live in central Europe… it’s very interesting. And what is the form of the political system in Hungary?”
“We are a kingdom.”
“Oh, if I may ask, what is the name of your king?”
“We don’t have any king. Hungary is ruled by a regent, admiral Horthy”
“Ah, you have an admiral, so you must have a powerful fleet!”
“No, we don’t have any fleet, since my country has no access to any sea”
“What a strange land: a kingdom without a king, an admiral without a fleet. Does Hungary have any territorial claims?”
“Oh yes, we have the claims to Romania and Yugoslavia”
“So you fight against two countries at once!?”
“Oh no, not at all, we don’t fight against them, but, on the contrary, now we are fighting shoulder to shoulder with them against the Soviet Union”
“So do you have any territorial claims to Russia?”
“No, we don’t have any”
“Sir, I’m afraid one of us has drunk too much. Well, maybe better let’s stop talking about Hungary”
The Hungarian language really scares me. In every European language we can find a lot of similarities to another one, but not in Hungarian (and Finnish, but not to the same extent due to many Germanic borrowings). When you are a tourist in Hungary, in case of emergency it may be really hard to survive in a country where even the police is called rendőrség.
And for those Americans who have trouble with English, especially those of you in LA, here is article in Russian. :razz:

Hi my dear fellow students,
There’s a piece of super heavy hard trash all american (or perhaps british) metal band hanging around, and I can’t remember the name of the folks group who sings it. Can some of you fine heavy metal connoisseurs help me?
It says, more or less:
Hey wey weh, I’m the Minautor, wor thor war, the son of Hades made man. Wan band swan.
And I immigrated from old Creta, milleniums ago (so I now have a greencard), wah wah hah. And I made friend with the devil. Will, hill, mill.
Listen to me, poor mortal, wall, hall, mall,
Life is a cocktail with a secret ingredient, bang wang swan.
And I hide my horns under my long hair. Where where where.
{and the bass guitar goes there like BWANG KWANG BATAKLANG, and the drums go peee wee weee}
Life is a cocktail of gravity, with a secret ingredient. Han han han.
And I’m gonna tell you before I kix your snorky ax. Wax lax flax.
What Stephen Hawking didn’t tell you, woo woohooo, I’m gonna tell you, it is true.
There are two sorts of two wheelers.. (oh.. forget about this for now). Let’s focus back on the secret ingredient.. Hans wans plans.
And that secret ingredient, friends and friendoes, is a soupçon of life and death. And it kix ax better than an ocean of Red Bull. So drink it. And mix it with optimism of pessimism, it doesn’t matter at all. Cuz’ I’m walking with the living and the dead. And I’m gonna kix your ax with my super-duper-powers if I decide to. Like wax smax pax.
And badabing, and badabang. Ugh and haha. ‘Cuz I’m the Minotaur. As black as a whack. Smack smack smack.
Thanks for your help my dear fellow students. I am not sure about the exact lyrics to be honest..
you know, many song titles are made from the lyrics in the song!! so if you watch carefully there is the frase ”life is a cocktail” in it, which it is repeated many times!! so you can focus your search on this frase!! its a suggestion!!! |m/
I like to {read} music, especially the bass guitar solo :lol:
:o My Dear Teacher, why the verb {read} sounds as “red” in the Past Tenses? :roll:
@neuroway
