It goes well with pie, if we can get the pie to hold still. はい、そうです。 I would\* love\* some ice cream to go with my pie. The pie’s nature certainly seems to be worthy of my tastes. ---

In the same way Michael Bay elevated the art form of filmmaking. She will fit right in. Like hand in glove, pen and ink. Fuck you Michael Bay. ---

Just a little tip, ‘konnichiwa’ has two 'n’s in the romaji spelling. ‘n’ is the only consonant that can be next to a consonant on it’s own. The ‘chi’ does sound like a ‘shi’, doesn’t it? I make mistakes all the time regarding how a syllable sounds versus how it is actually written. Hope that helps for next time you would wish to use that greeting! 😃 > [@Sunspace](#): > > 日本人! _Mi amas tiun lingvon._ It’s in my list to learn. > > You should check out the great [Japanese language-learning thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=522935) from a couple of years ago.

However, I thought in the FAQ it stated that we cannot have threads in another language, but explanations of words or comparisons were allowed, as well as tiny phrases like that were allowed as well.

Well, yes, blood pudding, but there’s more than one way to look at it. The reason behind my name is actually pretty stupid. Haha! But it just stuck.

Hi Purin. Nice to meetcha and welcome to the Dope. Let me give you some friendly advice… when you go to your initiation here, do NOT wear any clothes you ever want to wear again. As a matter of fact, it’d be a good idea to leave a change of clothes in the car for you to change into afterwards.
