"Get back on board, for fuck's sake?!"
Say what?!
In Italy, "Vada a bordo, cazzo!" means "Go on board, dickhead!"
Or if you want to say, my fucking typical day, you say, la mia cazzo di giornata tipo.
Thanks for the culture tip.
In Italy they have a whole system of sign language where they can cuss you out or throw enumerated insults at you without saying a word and all we have is "the bird" - the bird's a word I suppose except in Rome.
NO! "go on board, dickhead!" would have been "Vai a bordo, testa di cazzo!"
Commander De Falco is, without any doubt, thinking schettino is a testa di cazzo. but he can't say it. he's a navy officer, unlike schettino, performing his duty.
1. he knows the conversation is being recorded
2. he's using the third person ie the formal way to speak to a person. you don't use the formal 3d person if you are going to label a man as dickhead.
3. he nonetheless was furious and he couldn't resist cursing. be sure that if he felt free to insult schettino he would have produced some elaborated state of the art cursing poetry.
I thought this was pretty funny ....
Ga. judge orders Obama to appear at hearing .. A judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn’t a citizen and can’t be president.It’s one of many such lawsuits that have been filed across the country, so far without success. A Georgia resident made the complaint, which is intended to keep Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in the March presidential primary.
An Obama campaign aide says any attempt to involve the president personally will fail and such complaints around the country have no merit.
The hearing is set for Thursday before an administrative judge. Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi on Friday denied a motion by the president’s lawyer to quash a subpoena that requires Obama to show up.
Obumbler will just issue an exeuctive order nullifying the action. He, after all, IS the 1% and as such subject to different treatment under the law. You know that part of the constitution that gives politicians and non-elected elite the right to break any law they damned well please. Just ask Clinton, Bush, Obummer, Rangle, Hastings, Geithner, Bernanke, I'd go on but my fingers are tired...
and the north american version would parody "who the hell"?

Why would you doubt this? 15 years ago, you couldn't find a car made in the USA that got over 40 mpg. Now, there are scads of them, and even trucks and SUV's are getting mileage in the 20-30 mpg range. Each new car replaces an older one that got worse mileage (usually), so with over 10 million cars sold in the US last year, the numbers get impressive. Assume 20,000 miles per year, and a 2 mpg improvement per car, that works out to over 9 billion gallons of gas no longer needed - that's about 25 million gallons per day. And I think those numbers are conservative.
From 1996-2009 the number of vehicles on the road has gone up from 210 to 254 million (44 million more).

"no longer needed"?
To be used by others...
Hugh G Rection: “Three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel...”
If the Babylonians only were around they could have planted a statue of Zeus on the White House lawn at Christmas time (where once the now-outlawed Christian cross stood), perhaps joining the Jews who each year plant a 40-foot menorah there, in essence, claiming Washington, DC, as occupied Israeli territory. Then, instead of US politicians caving in only to Israeli policy “for fear of the Jews,” Congress would be accommodating the Babylonians in its cave-in to the moral destruction of America.
Why not? After all, religions of both nations historically were defamed by aggressors and, in that all religions all equal in America, except Christianity of course, shouldn’t all religions be given equal treatment under Supreme Court law, except Christianity of course, which, because it professes to be the true religion represents intolerance and hate speech, and, therefore, must not be tolerated?
So, in that America is a pluralistic society save one, why not a Zeus to grace the White House lawn during Christmas and New Year’s along with the Jewish menorah? At least they both deny Christ.
Time wise the Babylonians beat out the Jews. Antiochus IV ruled the Jews from 175 to 164 BC (Before Christ), much later than Xerxes’ sacrilege against the Babylonian religion, perhaps giving the latter WH-lawn time preference.
Antiochus, of course, is anathema to the Jews; Judas Maccabeus ordered lavish yearly eight-day festivities after rededicating the Temple in Jerusalem that had been profaned by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, according to the Book of Maccabees. In a Jewish civil war between the Hellenizers (reformists) and the Jewish orthodox parties, Antiochus sided with the reformists who prohibited the religious practices of the traditionalists, allowing abominable offerings to the Olympian Zeus on the altar in the temple in Jerusalem.
On the other hand, it was in 484 BC (Before Christ) that Xerxes of Persia “outraged the Babylonians by violently confiscating and melting down the golden statue of Bel (Marduk, Merodach, Moloch), the hands of which the rightful king of king of Babylon had to clasp each New Year's Day.” (Solomon also had allowed worship of Moloch – the god appeased by child sacrifice - by the Jews.)
If Washington, D.C., is anything, it’s fair – excluding Christianity, of course.

If that was a British, US or Japanese captain, maybe even a Gerry one, then they would still be on that fucking tub. Italian, French, well history tells us yet another lesson. Equally this can be applied to economics I think.
The captain must be mistaken about "tripping and falling" into that lifeboat; surely he was pushed.
Anybody ask Newt Gingrich what the difference between an "open marriage" and polygamy is?

The open marriage you don't have to worry about alimony later on.

Can anyone please explain to me how Angela Merkel came to be one of the most powerful - not woman - but person in the World?
A physical chemist by professional background, Merkel entered politics in the wake of the Revolutions of 1989 and briefly served as the deputy spokesperson for Lothar de Maizière's democratically elected East German government prior to the Reunification of Germany
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel
So she developed to be the 4th most powerful person in 2011 due to physical chemistry?! Not bad...
You need to look into her rumoured background (hint: she shares a birthday ... and possibly DNA ... with a famous former German leader). Can't say whether the theory is true or not, but it does explain a few things.

Xerxes was the son of Cyrus who was a much more reasonable man. My favorite story about Xerxes is that when he was invading north he had the opportunity to turn into Gaul or toward the Vandals. His scouts from the Vandal side of the river said that the inhabitants had "flavored drinks" (what we now call beer). So he went toward Gaul on the logic that if he invaded the Vandals they would have flavored drinks to offer his troops while all he had to "offer them" was warm water. The World is soooooo exactly the same as it was two thousand years ago. Only the names and the devices have changed to enable the guilty to keep pulling the same tricks. So keep pounding down all those soft drinks you morons and then wonder why you need health insurance. The system loves you. Human chattel.

Merkel was never the captain of Europe. Blaming Merkel for the Euro crisis is like blaming Obama for the financial crisis in 2008.
Wait till I get around to dealing with this.
You're absolutely right, but he is totally responsible for letting them get away with it.
Merkel was never the captain of Europe.

Divers recover Madonna intact from shipwreck chapelGIGLIO, Italy, Jan. 21, 2012 (Reuters) — She was found inside the ship's chapel, submerged up to her shoulders, but in one piece. Fire department divers wrapped her in a white towel, and used a nylon belt to hold it in place so she would not be damaged as they pulled her out.
========================================================
Now what was Madonna doing on that boat? And why was she in the chapel? I thought she was prepping for her next tour and releasing a new single next month. Maybe she just needed a vacation, maybe she was sleeping with the captain? Was she the unidentified blond he was dining with?
