English!

Gods, I love the English language. I love it even more then my native language, which is Dutch. English is full of ridiculously cool words you pronounce without even thinking of it.

There's a fact of life that says you can say whatever you like in German and it will sound creepy and disgustingly child-molester-like and then there is English. You can say whatever you like in English and it will sound cool. Period.

Ok, try it. I've picked up a random box from my warhammer box collection (of which you can see a secret picture right here)

Say both these sentences out loud and watch the effect:

 

EMPIRE STATE TROOPS

 

STAATSTRUPPEN DES IMPERIUMS

 

Not convinced? Then try reading the following, completely uninteresting sentences, out loud:

 

SCENERY, GLUE AND PAINT NOT INCLUDED. CONTENTS MAY VARY FROM THOSE SHOWN.

 

 

GELANDE, KLEBSTOFF UND FARBEN SIND NICHT ENTHALTEN. INHALT KANN VON DER DERSTELUNG ABWEICHEN.

 

Still not fucking convinced? Ok, try saying the word ABWEICHEN out loud several times. If your still not convinced the German language is damn scary and creepy I don't know what's wrong with you. Never ask me. In fact, stay away from me.

Ok, now that that's over with, back to one last comment about the English language. Its one I have spoken since I was 10 years old and I learned it from watching an excessive amount of 'teenage mutant ninja turtles' and I have loved it ever since. Its so cool that it still rules even if you know it has the greatest number of self-contradicting words of all languages. Watch this link if you don't believe me.

That's all for this day. I'm gonna sleep off all the alcohol I used tonight. Hmmmmm............. free beer.
