Conversations I have had.

Occasionally, completely random people talk to me on Yahoo Messenger.  I wish there was a way to stop this, but I haven't managed to find one yet.

This one was today's:

ihn_pop: هأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأى كسمك
AndrewDucker: Strangely, I speak very little Arabic
ihn_pop: هأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأأى كسمك
AndrewDucker: Nope, not even that much
ihn_pop: كسمك اتكلم عربى
AndrewDucker: Still not really breaching the language barrier here.

You must just attract the foreigners !
Try declaring you're a redneck american survivalist, it might put them off.

I received a call on my mobile this morning. The caller spoke to me Spanish, and I tried as well as I could to convey that since I don't speak the language, they had most likely mis-dialed.

I must learn the phrase meaning, "sorry, wrong number."

"apologias, numero incorrecto."

Or if you prefer:
"No hablo espanol."

He just wanted his Necronomicon back. ;-)

Isn't there someone on your friends list who knows Arabic who's going to translate it for us? I know a tiny bit but not enough to decipher that... my guess is "Hi, Kismak" (Kismat being someone's name, maybe).. then "Hi, Kismak" again, then "Kismak (something) arabic". But I'm really curious as to what the guy was really saying.

Or what the gal, or other-gendered person was saying...
