Read This & You Could Be Smarter
 

For many years, I was a Korean linguist in the Army. My wife is from there and I have been able to keep my language skills up.

Now, for those of you who don't speak Korean, the Korean word for deer is sasum (pronounced saw some). Years ago, a friend of mine would ask me how to pronounce different words in Korean and he asked me about the word deer. I told him what it was and then a few days later he called me and said "I saw some awesome sasum." He then asked me how to say "hunting". I told him "sanyong" (pronounced saw nyoung). Then it was how to say "Let's" = "haja" (pronounced ha jaw). Yesterday, he called me and said "Sasum sanyong haja!" It was 7 or 8 years ago that I taught him the words and he still remembered. He only muzzleloads, so in late December we'll be muzzleloading. The word for bow is hwa.

Ok, I admit I am bored and you just read this for probably pretty much nothing, but maybe you'll remember.

So to all my friends out here, you too can call me up and say Sasum hwa sanyong haja, and we'll go.

Sasum hwa sanyong haja =

A spaceship received three messages in a strange language from a distant planet. The astonauts studied these messages and found that "Elros Aldarion Elendil" means "Danger Rocket Explosion" and "Edain Mnyatur Elros" means "Danger spaceship Fire" and "Aldarion Gimilzor Gondor" means "Bad Gas Explosion".
What does "Elendil" mean?
DANGER - EXPLOSION - NOTHING - ROCKET - GAS

RE: Read This & You Could Be Smarter
 

Elros appears in the first and second sentences and the only common word in those two sentences is Danger.
Aldarion appears in the first and third, and the only common word is Explosion.
Therefore, using common thinking, Elendil would be Rocket.

The web that was woven was to catch the pesky fly.

You have forced me to tell my friends the following:

"The buzzard has landed on the honey wagon. The Virginia farmer fertilizes the field, dumping extra feces in the shadows."

Cool. BTW, Korean and oriental women are gorgeous. Cute and little, my preference.

Okay, so I was dumb enough to read this. The only thought I have now is, someone should get a sack punch for false advertisement.

RE: Read This & You Could Be Smarter
 

So, by reading this you discovered that you were dumb. Therefore, that makes you smarter, which means you need to sack punch yourself!:D

RE: Read This & You Could Be Smarter
 

I was never a 35P. But nice guess.

RE: Read This & You Could Be Smarter
 

I found your post interesting, glad to see you will be out muzzleloading.

My time in Korea was some of the best years of my life! I spent 5 years there and had the time of my life. Relay to your buddy that next time he is over there, get away from the GI towns and visit some of the real people. Yi Soon Sin's memorial is a great place to start. Or visit some of the villages along the Southwest corner of the country. I really liked the islands of Pogildo and Nowhado. It's amazing how different these people are than the ones who cater to the military.

I went to a Buddhist temple up along the DMZ on an island and saw a 5' tall statue of Buddha that was solid gold. The temple was like 600 years old and had survived the Japanese Occupation and the Korean war intact.

I could go on and on about what there is to see and do over there, but will stop here.

Don't you hate it when that happens. Kind of like trying to jump a barbed wire fence with friends around and only getting one leg successfully across.[:@]

AF Hunter,

My mom is Korean, but I never learned enough to speak fluently. All I can tell from your quote above is that you are talking about someones butt!

Nothing like Kimchee to warm you up after a cold sit in the treestand!

All I said was "You are a very intelligent arse!" (smart arse). For warming back up, have your mom make some kimchee cheegye (kimchee soup). Now that'll warm you up! Then if she's not too busy, some korean pancakes with that and you have a meal!
