Anybody know spanish here?

[bluewolf]

Someone sent me an email in Spanish and there are two words in the sentence that I do not know. If someone knows Spanish, please pm me.

Sorry to take up bandwidth.

Actually it might be french. I think someone sent me an insulting email. Here it is.

'alea jac ta est'

post what they sent you BW.


how come no one sends me degrading pms or email anymore! /ccboard/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[bluewolf]

Alfie got it, the die is cast, which is kind of weird to send someone an email of. But then, I think it is playing games to send someone an email in a language they know I dont speak. I do not do those kind of games.

Thanks anyway.

If the whole email was only this message it was imo not insulting, although a little bit strange.
It’s said that Caesar said it when he crossed the Rubicon.

Makes me wonder if Asterix &amp; Obelix comics are popular in the U.S.A ?

Bonus vir semper tiro ;-)
Bluewolf somehow reminded me of this quote. Take this one as a compliment.

[bluewolf]

Thanks. I did not know if that first one was a compliment or an insult. But when someone sends me an email with just foreign language that they know that I do not speak, then, they are playing head games.

In your case, you have told me that your quote is a compliment so I will not waste any time or head space trying to figure it out.I just say thanks for the compliment. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I also recognize semper as a word on bumper stickers of people in the marines and bonus as good.

<hr /></blockquote>The Asterix and Obelix comic books are available, but I wouldn't call them popular here.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.... The last time I was in your nation I was too busy lopping the heads off of hippies, and taking their bud so I may have gotten some of the phrases mixed up in the excitement.
