Hey! it's a quality 30 seconds:shrug:

[JD10367]

I think I liked the troll better when he did nothing but bust balls by insulting Belichick or the Pats.

Is there some reason why, for the past few months, almost every friggin' post has to mention his heritage? Greek this, Greek that, Greek the other thing.

We used to have OldLimeyBastard... Maybe a mod should change his name to OldZorbaBastard. :coffee:

So, you ever been to Greece? I have. It was pretty cool. I mean, I always made sure my back was to a wall, but there was a lot to see and do. :thumb:

[SteelerFan87]

So, you ever been to Greece? I have. It was pretty cool. I mean, I always made sure my back was to a wall, but there was a lot to see and do. :thumb:

I've been there twice. Once when I was really little, like 4 or something, and again when I was like 13. It's an awesome place.


BTW, offering yourself to a firing squad was a nice gesture I guess, but it really wasn't necessary. :shrug:

Wasn't the firing squad I was worried about. I heard about you greeks and your predilections... ROFL

But on a serious note, I enjoyed Greece. Crete was pretty sweet too :)

[TBrownslady]

[JD10367]

Here's what I know about Greeks:

their alphabet
Onassis
Zorba
Fred Smerlas
Melina Kanekerides (sp?) from "CSI: NY"
feta cheese, olives, pizza

We actually had a cool film about Greece, narrated by the woman who did "My Big Fat-Ass Wedding" or whatever that film was called...

[BradyLady12]

Personally, I love Greeks. They can get wild with their tempers but they get over it.
Besides we Sicilians are similar and probably have some Greek in us—so they say.
Worked in a Greek restaurant in art school and one of by best friends is Greek. Picked up a bunch of phrases.
She still speaks Greek to her mom who speaks no English. Loved the Greek isles!

it was very entertaining sitting there watching to see if anyone who looked like TBL would show up on screen --- thankful, at the same time, that I didn't have to worry about thinking a clad-in-skivvies-only JD might be in the projection room (((shudders)))

[Costanza]

Greek stuff I know-

TBLady
SF87
Petros Papadakis
feta cheese
pitas
lamb
naked wresslin'

All is good so far! (although never had lamb that was prepared by someone who knew what they were doing, so not a fan of that).

I consider the EU to be a temporary situation. Greece will use the EU as long as it is beneficial, and when it is no longer needed, Greece will secede.

Ouzo is good. I've also found that metaxa and coke is quite good too. Metaxa by itself is still something I'm working on aquiring a taste for.
I consumed decent quantities of both today. :thumb:

My dad puts down shots of metaxa like it's water. I just don't get it the smell alone makes me gag. Ouzo forget it I hate that black licorice taste.

Retsina is good. Never had it with coke though. I'll have to try that.

and then after they secede and need to be bailed out by the EU they will um what :huh:

The whole secession thing is contingent on Greece being in a solid enough position that there is little left to gain from the EU. Both economically and militarily, because IMO one of the reasons Greece is in the EU is to have European support if there's any problems with Turkey. I also think an important factor will be the status of countries like Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria, who I think are more natural allies of Greece due to the common Orthodox and Byzantine heritage.
The ultimate goal of Greece was, and IMO should still be, not to be Europe's bitch, but to be a leader in the region once again.

I did a quick look and it said Arabs started making spirits and wines. Around the 1800s the Turks had started using aniseed making a drink they called "raki" Then it was Tsipouro and eventually changed to Ouzo. Either way looks like they both came up with it at the same time. :shrug:

http://www1.american.edu/TED/ouzo.htm

A Short History
Ouzo has its roots in Byzantine (eventually Ottoman then Turkish) origin dating back to the 1600's. Distillation of spirits and wines began in the Arab world. People added sugar to wine residue to produce a drink similar to present day grappa. Eventually the Turks began infusing and processing the residue with aniseed which gave the liquor its distinct Turkish characteristic, the flavor of licorice. The origin of the name ouzo is a bit murky. The drink itself derives its origins from a Turkish drink called raki . Originally the drink was called "Tsipouro" but through a series of contested events, the name was changed t Ouzo. , In 1800's the Greeks shipped the first cases of their aniseed drink tsipouro to Marseille. They were also exporter of fine cocoons at this time and marked the cases "uso a Marsilla" (Italian for Use in Marseilles ) to distinguish the products. According to legend, a Turkish physician named Anastas Bey was visiting the town of Tyrnavos and asked to try the local tsipouro. After tasting the drink, he exclaimed "This is uso Marsilla, my friends"-referring to the high quality. The name spread by word of mouth until eventually ouzo replaced the name tsipouro. (1)

And Babs has a great fix for the drain!

[Claremonster]

And Babs has a great fix for the drain!

Fix:

late 14c., probably from O.Fr. *fixer, from fixe "fixed," from L. fixus, pp. of figere "to fix, fasten," from PIE base *dhigw- "to stick, to fix." Earliest Eng. usage was to "fix" one's eyes or mind on something; sense of "fasten, attach" is c.1400; that of "settle, assign" is pre-1500 and evolved into "adjust, arrange" (1660s), then "repair" (1737). Sense of "tamper with" (a fight, a jury, etc.) is 1790. As euphemism for "castrate a pet" it dates from 1930. Related: Fixed; fixedly; fixing. The noun meaning "a position from which it is difficult to move" is first recorded 1816, Amer.Eng., from the verb. Meaning "dose of narcotic" is from 1934, originally fix-up, which dates from 1867 in reference to liquor.

Drain:

O.E. dreahnian, from P.Gmc. *draug-, source of "drought, dry," giving the English word originally a sense of "make dry." Figurative meaning of "exhaust" is attested from 1650s. Related: Drained; draining. The noun is from 1550s.

Great:

O.E. great "big, coarse, stout," from W.Gmc. *grautaz (cf. O.S. grot, O.Fris. grat, Du. groot, Ger. groß "great"). Originally "big in size, coarse," it took over much of the sense of M.E. mickle, and is now largely superseded by big and large except for non-material things. As a prefix to terms denoting "kinship one degree further removed" (1538) it is from the similar use of Fr. grand, itself used as the equivalent of L. magnus. An O.E. way of saying "great-grandfather" was þridda fæder, lit. "third father." In the sense of "excellent, wonderful" great is attested from 1848. Great White Way "Broadway in New York City" is from 1901. Greatcoat "large, heavy overcoat" is from 1661. Great Spirit "high deity of the North American Indians," 1703, originally translates Ojibwa kitchi manitou. The Great War originally (1887) referred to the Napoleonic Wars, later (1914) to what we now call World War I

True fact: in the 2nd century BC, the Spartans turned Sparta into one of the world's earliest tourist traps.

I know Sparta was a big tourist destination for Romans, since they thought the Spartan way of life was interesting and cool. But how much did the Spartans cultivate that tourism intentionally? They don't seem like the kind of people who would have enjoyed being looked at by tourists as an interesting curiosity.
