#16 | | Deadly Horses Authorized | I think I originally said, "Who says adminstrators are the only ones who can have fun?" or something to that extreme. |

| Well, I'd say it's something more like, "Who says that 'Hinterwellen' can't have fun for themselves," but I'm really confused by that "Hinterwellen." Neither of the two most reliable sites I know for German have ever heard of it.

#19 | | Deadly Horses Authorized | This was babelfish. I think "Hinterwellen" is a great word for an administrator. Maybe it can be BSPE's new title? |

| I like that word.
Hinterwellen. I think I'm going to treat it as a very strong word and shall shout it forcefully at the local bums that try to get me to serve them free coffee.

| Yeah um... weird.
PS - Just be sure to pronounce the "w" as a "v."

| For etymological purposes, "hinter" means back or behind, and "wellen" means waves. If that makes any sense to you, you're a smarter man/woman/ape/goat than I.

Heh, I forgot to capitalize. That's another week in purgatory.
Anyway:
Welle = wave
Wellen = waves Quote:
