Reading Classifieds

As in ,"SWF, large watermelons seeks SM to complete fruit salad"??? or is it more of a "For sale" listing that is an alternate to e-bay?

Either way, it is a little disappointing.

The entire reason I love Netalive is because it is, how do you say, far removed from the bull-crappy that you have to put up with in every other sight? No ads. Noone asking your breast size.

damn.

I knew the masses would find us some day. Too bad it had to be today....(dramatically drapes arm over forehead, brings other hand up to mouth to stifle sob. Single tear appears and drips , ever so slowly, down cheek.... crests chin.. and drops. Camera follows tear in slow-motion, long distance falling closeup. Tear explodes onto the floor. scene fades)

I think you are exaggerating, Betty. Afterall I believe this is a good idea. We have a lot of people coming from different parts of the world, and we could all beneficiate of that.
If you want examples, I can give you some.

- null and orchid are from Switzerland, and they could sell/trade good chocolate that we might not find in our countries (I do find Lindt even in Italy btw, but the one made in Switzerland is better).

- Jaz, Martin... are from Germany, and I am sure that they could provide us with wonderful beer ;)

- I am from Italy and could get you real good pasta that is not comparable to the one you buy elsewhere.

- Then there are the American Naoies. I won't name them all here, because there are too many of them and many are sort of new ones (that I didn't meet before leaving Nao but only after my return) They might get us CDs, books... things that we would need to buy online if we can't find them in our country.

So, you see, it wouldn't be exactly a bad idea. I would prefer asking one of the people I know from here, that I trust, instead of say going to amazon.com and buy that book of that particular author that I can't find here in Italy, but that is very popular in America/UK or whatnot.

- Jaz, Martin... are from Germany, and I am sure that they could provide us with wonderful beer ;)

Jaz - yes, as he's livin in Augsburg - Martin? Erhm ... Berlin? GOOD Beer?!? Let's talk about something else .. like: me. Next city, right 5 kms from here is called 'Munich'. Just came back from a pub which offers Augustiner Helles from the keg. Nothin comparable.

Ok. Well, better ones would be: Smithwick's (brewed in Ireland only! and Altenmünster Dunkel aka 'urig-würzig'.

- I am from Italy and could get you real good pasta that is not comparable to the one you buy elsewhere.

Note: making pasta yourself .. might skip this step :D
After all, I very much like self-made stuff, especially in food ;)

- Then there are the American Naoies

dont count on em. There's ginsterbusch, formerly known as oxygenius, aka wolf, who is offering you:
a) norsk stuff you probably only get from whirlwinds.cjb.net (who aint online here anymore for 'bout 1 1/3 years)
b) interesting drinks
c) did I mention norsk stuff? :D
d) some other shit ya wont find elsewhere (like creating your website for just some (european) bucks, etc.) ;)

cu, w0lf.

Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind!

After all, I very much like self-made stuff, especially in food ;)

Oh yeah. My mom can cook (which is strange, cause the trend here in America is the guys are starting to be the cooks and the women burn the spaghetti... which doesn't surprise me cause I can make some damn fine tasty cinnamon rolls completely from scratch). She can whip up some mean Cajun Gumbo, Jambalaya, and some generic meat and potatoes dinners (plus some vegitarian platters that I neither know the name of or wish to learn).

mmm, I'm hungry again...

:-O It never crossed my mind.

You know, I havn't really made a lasting friendship with null yet.... NULL! Heh..He Hey buddy ;)

Well, after reading a Slashdot article, apperantly ink cartridges are cheaper over here, so I can send ya'll some! :P

*thinks* what does australlia have to offer the world...

uhhh, CDs... oh! i know! Ugg Boots! novelty teatowels! books! low quality, low cost beer! groovy aboriginal instruments!

and last but not least quirky things to spread on bread... has anyone here ever heard of Vegemite?

-Mel ;)

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

has anyone here ever heard of Vegemite?

A friend of mine originally comes from Liverpool, England. Ever since I know him, which is since our early Univ days some 20+ years ago, he's trying to praise the advantages of something called Marmite. Its some stuff for spreading on slices of bread. Looks like cow poo bottled in glasses, smells like unwashed feet and tastes.... uhm.... British, I guess. Actually I never even wanted to know what it actually is. Is that similar to what you're offering here, Mel?
:D

After decades of construction my website is finally up an running: www.kkds.de

Uhhhh, similar family... but much better. i cannot stand marmite. the smell is indeed intoxicating.

i think im gonna have to send a jar of vegemite to the northern hemisphere...

-Mel

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

I think I have heard of Vegimite..........is it in the Mayonaise family?

I am just me, searching for simplicity.........and a good hair stylist

Not really.... i hat to think what would happen if you put Vegemite on a salad sandwich...

*shudders*

-Mel

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

I found the solution! god bless the internet!

i recommend you all visit the kids corner; )

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

I've always asked myself, how can anybody possibly love the taste of this stuff? What's wrong with the Aussies?
Today I've read this on the Vegemite homepage:

In 1922, a Melbourne man called Fred Walker had the bright idea of using yeast extract left over from the manufacture of beer to create a [...] tasty new spread that every Australian will grow up with.

All of a sudden it all seems much clearer.

"*sigh* Some men are really hard to manipulate!" - Orchid

Well, surely it doesn't LOOK so bad. But my question is "What does that taste like"? From the picture, it looks like plum marmelade, but then... I might be wrong.

So now, I am pretty curious about its taste. Anybody out there can define it for me? Surely in Italy I can't find it anywhere :P

Un bacio è un'apostrofo rosa scritto tra le parole "ti amo".

I cant actually describe the taste. It's definitly unique...

Sidenote: Did you listen to the song?

Every aussie kid grew up knowing that song off by heart. Yet, we all have issues remembering the second verse of our national anthem...

-Mel

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

What's wrong with the Aussies?

you know, i often ponder on this very question myself.

you're answer beats anything i've come up with. perhaps Jael can provide a less biased opinion after some observation of life down under?

-Mel

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

*chuckles*

Yeah, we'll see what I have to say about Aussie's and Vegemite ;)

Yes, unfortunately. :-) Hang on, maybe Bob the Aussie wants to order some. Or I could still use it to scare my friends with it.

:O! VEGEMITE!! Give me some!!! Please?

"I'm free to say whatever I, whatever I like if it's wrong or right, it's alright."

Right Kaizley...the solution here for you is rather simple.

what we do here is, you wander to you're local supermarket and but a jar ;) Success! see, irrefutable proof that the classifieds forum is a success!

-Mel ;)

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

Right! I knew that! :P

"I'm free to say whatever I, whatever I like if it's wrong or right, it's alright."

I think you are exaggerating, Betty

at least someone picked up on the exaggeration. I wrote that post, as I recently told null, mostly in jest.

I am just me, searching for simplicity.........and a good hair stylist

null and orchid are from Switzerland

Not quite true. Actually I'm from Liechtenstein. But... we don't have a chocolate fabric or something like that, so... ;)

"Sie wollen nichts anderes. Sie wollen kämpfen! Sie sind Soldaten! Fucking Wahnsinnige!" - Noel G.

Not quite true. Actually I'm from Liechtenstein.

Now you really want to be picky eh? I know that to you it makes a difference indeed... but really... you speak the same strange language (which by the way is not German, it is... huh Schweize Sprache? anyway something strange and totally unrelated to German, as your people tended not to have the zweite Lautverschiebung... Why am I bringing all of this up? Do you know why? I don't :P)

Un bacio è un'apostrofo rosa scritto tra le parole "ti amo".

you speak the same strange language (which by the way is not German, it is... huh Schweize Sprache?

Yeah, I'm picky ;)
Umm... what's strange about it? It's just a dialect, it's not really accepted as an own language, and it's called Schweizerdeutsch or Schweizer Dialekt, or, of course Liechtensteiner Dialekt. Anyway, it's kinda complicated because you can split it up into thousands of dialect. You can split up Schweizerdeutsch into Berndeutsch (people from Berne), Baslerdeutsch or Zürcherdeutsch and so on because people living in Zürich speak different than people from Basel or Berne. Sometimes, they don't even understand each other.
You can even split up Liechtensteiner Dialekt in Unterländer or Oberländer Dialekt or in Berger Dialekt and so on. People living in Triesenberg (speaking Berger Dialekt) speak a very strange dialect noone else speaks, because they descend from the Walser people. Anyway, sometimes people from Switzerland don't understand what people from Liechtenstein say and vice versa, so what I wanted to say is: We don't speak the same language, not even in our countries, so... ;) Do you see what I mean?

An example: Liechtenstein people don't have a word for leg, they call it foot. Swiss people tend to look strangely if I say I have to shave my feet. ;)
Another example: People from Berne say something that sounds like "I have to go ironing today" when they mean "I have to go working today", so there are some misunderstandings.
And of course there are all the strange old words, today noone really knows but some like to use ;)
Languages are a cool thing though and create a lot of funny situations that help bringing people together :)

Practical question - how many ads or inquiries about your boobs have you encountered since this forum opened?

"*sigh* Some men are really hard to manipulate!" - Orchid

Actually, my post was mostly in jest, I thought the melodramatic ending was a hint to that...... Next time I will try to be a little more blatant with my jokes.

actually, I was the first person to post in Classifieds, so none as of yet......but my fingers are crossed.
