But don't they say that the wisest speaks the least? If that's it; then you've been here for a long time but haven't spoke much, thus you are a wise/experienced person since you don't say anything unnecressiary! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

Having a lot of posts doesn't necessarily mean you know much, just that you "talk" more than others. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] And if Olf-san's a bishoujo newbie, than I'm a Wookie from Venus! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
Hmm, hadn't seen that Honda commercial. Reminds me of the Rube Goldberg competition my dorm would usually do well in. Never could figure out if that was a good thing or not...

It's already force of habit for me here. I mean, heck, you realize how long it took me before I started refering to Spectator Beholder-san as 'Spec-san'? Besides, I do it to be polite, and conversely, a way of hinting when I'm getting more annoyed than normal and have decided to stop being polite. (Especially since I can't do my normal, "hit someone with a wet badger", to show how annoyed I am here... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img] )
ekylo has a wet badger… Where did you get him/her? o.o I want one.

Fow long are you going to insist that you're a newbie? We both know that it's just as true that you're a newbie that it's true that pigs might fly [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

I'll grant that you may be considered a newbie compared to some dedicated bishoujo gamer in Japan, but compared to most of us schmucks, it's like Micheal Jordan showing up at a street basketball court and saying he "kinda knows how to play."

This is irrelevant, because of course Michael Jordan is not Asian.

Huh? I'm sorry...I just knew that you lived in Europe, so I just assumed you were some kind of European.
...uh...Excuse me while I go pull my foot out of my mouth.

Asian "ascent"? Don't you mean "descent"? But also as you pointed out, just being of Asian extraction isn't enough, you also have to be more of a traditionalist. After all, I'm Asian as well, and very non-traditional. I'm a big wussy man, and I'm damn proud of it! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
And definitely pull that foot out of your mouth Nandemonai-san, you don't know where that foot's been...

"Main Entry: de·scent
Pronunciation: di-'sent
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French descente, from Old French descendre
Date: 14th century
1 a : derivation from an ancestor : BIRTH, LINEAGE b : transmission or devolution of an estate by inheritance usually in the descending line c : the fact or process of originating from an ancestral stock d : the shaping or development in nature and character by transmission from a source : DERIVATION
2 : the act or process of descending
3 : a step downward in a scale of gradation; specifically : one generation in an ancestral line or genealogical scale
4 a : an inclination downward : SLOPE b : a descending way (as a downgrade or stairway) c obsolete : the lowest part
5 a : ATTACK, INVASION b : a sudden disconcerting appearance (as for a visit)
6 : a downward step (as in station or value) : DECLINE "
Errrrrrrrrrr................. ^^;;;;;;
As far as I understand it, my ascent are the people in the generation before me while my descent is the generation after me. Right?
Anyway, my ancestry (and myself, in fact, 100% Asian, born in Vietnam and raised as such [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]) is Asian.
And tradionalist as traditionalist can go.
