Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) The aphorism's contest thread!!!

If your cook is French, your butler English, your house German, your salary American and your wife Japanese, you are a happy man - but what a fate, if your cook is English, your butler German, your house French, your salary Japanese and your wife American.

{too many? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - so be it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />}

French houses are nice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Un francais sur la mer, c'est la pollution, tous les francais sur la mer c'est la sollution.

Excuse my poor french.

Not voting in an election is like a Swede who loves his wife so much he almost tells her.

J'en connais des HLM qui ne sont pas...
A part de cela, c'est pas une question de verité, mais de reputation, comme pour les chefs, dont je connais aussi de moins délectable resultats.

A part de cela - c'etait une blague - j'aimerais bien vivre "comme Dieu en France" (un proverbe Allemand) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Je ne sais pas francais. Je suis americain. Translation sil vous plait.

When in Rome do as the Romans do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

When Spick mentioned Rome I rememberred one thing my father use to say:

Rome wasn't built in one day.

Übereil

But rome(the city) got destroyed in pretty much 1 day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> glance, i was joking...
i'm afraid you're right about some "hlm"...

His nose is Roman....Yeh, Romin' all over his face!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I forgot to post a winner. Sorry. I almost gave it to Womble because his sig meets the criteria, and he almost won before I even announced the topic. Those forum fellows speaking Francais might have won, but I don't know what they said. Well, although Spick's wasn't especially clever, it might have won because it was after all an aphorism. But Rome is not a country, Spick.

Take it away Glance-a-lot.

Ah, THIS thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />



What??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

Übereil

That is a joke from Minnesota where a lot of Scandanavians have settled.

And in Minnesota they say "Ja"... What does it mean?

Übereil

Thanks Cleg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Let's make the next round relating to "business"

whether immoral or amoral, profitable or charitable - a tip for winners?

@Ube
It suggests that Swedes do not express their emotions. I do not know if this is true.

... What's emotions <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />?

Übereil

I can't believe people don't what aphorism's are!
