It's 4-20: Do You Know Where Your Child Is?

[Kassiopeia]

Yes Aaglo, but "kakoa" is also something else, something less perverse, but something of which's English equivalent I am not aware of.

BTW, I'm not that much of a great singer either, just a bit narcisstic

and I think French was the original language

or German for that matter

Yes, it would make sense taking into consideration that the song was entitled "L'Internationale", but I've only heard it in Russian. Back in the '50s my father was supposed to go to the Soviet Union as part of a planned exchange of scientists and engineers. He bought material to learn the language, but the only audio material he could find was a recording of "The Red Army Choir", so he bought this in an attempt to get used to the sound of the language. Sputnik happened and the program was cancelled.

[Ecthy]

You sound like you've had too much practice singing this. Someone will be by presently to talk to you.

[Ecthy]

I'll counter that one with the first 2 lines of the Soviet anthem

Those lines because I don't know how to go on from there

I don't know about 20/4 but 21/4 is the day the military coup took place in Greece 35 years ago, the one that put the country "in plaster" for seven whole years and cost the independednce of half the island of Cyprus.

21/4 (last Sunday) was also the day that Le Pen got to the second round of the french presidential elections.

Coincidences....coincidences....

[Bereta_Eder]

And I'll tell you something else that will freak you out even more axi

I found out that Le Pen was actively campaining for the release of the junta generals from prison in Greece during the reign of his eminance the Byzantium supreme lord Andreas Papandreou....

And the latter tried to declare him a persona non grata

Coincidences indeed

I like spam threads like these -- a whole crock pot of dozens of different quirky topics.

[Asher]

We can get away with it because the middle-aged-mods-with-kids don't like to read threads that may make them question their childs' drug habits, so they ignore these threads.

[The Vagabond]

Thanks a lot, Ecthelion. Saved it to file. I'll have to study it with a dictionary. The singing was also nice

"The Red Army Choir"?
Very bed audio, to learn a language. When I hear how they sing, I can't understand them and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who don't know about what those guys singing.
