Classic Pig 11-12-2004 12:14 AM

Hello everybody.

Just to let you all know that I am an Uncle (first time). :Brain:

My sister had a healthy 3kg baby boy this morning (10/12/04).

Pretty cool! Only problem is that she lives 600km away :wall:

**edit**
As per request - here are some pics - Ladies and Gentlemen I present newborn baby Joshua Swift...
:tease: :angel:

BTW I will be an uncle, too! For about a 6 months! :Brain:

Mucman 11-12-2004 01:06 AM

Congrats! I'm an uncle too! Going to be interesting to see what kind of games my nephews grow up with... and of course I have to provide pics ;)

Yes but hopefully you can be a mommy which is something uncles never will be! LOL

*dries tears and smiles*

Rogue 11-12-2004 01:45 AM

Congratulation to both of you! :bye:

Nice pics Mucman! Make sure he got quality games! :ok:

Titan 11-12-2004 01:49 AM

YAY.. congrats :)

Now.. as soon as they can say "uncle", you should learn them how to say "Abandonia".. goes for ALL of you..

"Abandonia" is bound to be the 3:e most known word after "OK" and "Coca Cola" :)

We don't want them to be regarded as retards, just bc they don't know Abandonia, do we? :sneaky:


EDIT: btw, Classic; I assume a 600 km drive would be suitable now? :)

auhsor 11-12-2004 04:06 AM

Congratulations. Joshua is an awesome name B), oh and the 10th is my brothers birthday, so thats also cool. I wish i were married and had a kid. One day I hope so.

Sebatianos 11-12-2004 06:17 AM

Congratulations.
Sorry I have no scaned pictuers of my nephew (he's 11 now) - didn't have a digital cammera back then...

It's always fun being an uncle - playing around with the little fellow, being cool and fun (while everybody else is just boring and commanding the poor little guy around,...).
I hope you'll enjoy it - it's much easyer then being a perent yourslef (and more fun - no dipers, no worries - just playing).

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 08:34 AM

Congratualtions. You must be very happy. :Brain: :Brain:

I'm kind of waiting for my brother to have a baby. Finger's crossed. But unfortunately it could be a couple of years away. He may not have a job in a month or two. :not_ok:

Stroggy 11-12-2004 09:01 AM

Oooh, thats nice.

The name Joshua means: Lord is salvation

Nope, it was a reply to the first post.
Not everything is about you, you know :)

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 09:32 AM

LOL LOL LOL

I'm aware not everything is about me. But whenever I read "Oooh", I imagine the statement as sarcastic. Don't ask me why, I just do that. And since you wouldn't be so rude to someone so happy as Classic Pig, I assumed it was directed at me.

TaloN 11-12-2004 09:48 AM

Congrats!!

make sure you bring him up good and proper on some fallout :D

Puffin 11-12-2004 10:27 AM

And to think that for Joshua games like Fallout will be to games like Mozart is to music: old.

Tom Henrik 11-12-2004 11:15 AM

I am also an uncle :D

My big brothers has two children, a daughter and a son.

Their names are Inunqua (My niece... her name is Innuit (Eskimo) and means a little human) and Niklas.

Inunqua is 7 years old now, and Niklas is 3. But I have never seen Niklas, I have only met Inunqua :cry:

FreeFreddy 11-12-2004 11:32 AM

Heh, well, where we are here... First of all, congratulations! I can imagine you like being an uncle, being an example to your nephews as they grow. :D
I'm also an uncle. My sister has two sons, Philipp is around 12 years old now, Johann is already 15 up to 16 soon. They used to come to me earlier to play on my PC, but now as they got their own PC (though no internet yet, my sister is little strict on that), they're rarely here, only if they need something out of the net to get.

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 11:59 AM

LOL LOL LOL

I do the same with my brother. I only visit him when I need to borrow one of his cd's.

Yavor 11-12-2004 12:58 PM

Hey,hey,hey.....congrats to the new uncles and to those that are already.Many uncles here. :D I wasn`t here for a half a day and what happend... :D ..so happy for ya.I`m so far away from being uncle,but some day and I won`t be actually,cause I don`t have sister of brother,but I`m sure it`s a great feeling.Have a great time with this cute,little nephews of yours. :D :D :D

Puffin 11-12-2004 01:04 PM

I might be an aunt... in like... 12 years or so :whistle:
I'm the oldest child...

This is the picture of the_Void and on his profile you can find hers or here you can get the portrets of the crew.

:ot: Yey my first reviewed game is up :Brain: :bannana:

And an incredibly hot one I must say. :)

Hah...unpresumptuous guy,a? :ok:

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 01:31 PM

LOL LOL LOL LOL

TheVoid 11-12-2004 01:39 PM

The cool thing about that quote is that it has actually two meanings:
I could have said "incredibly hot" referred to me, but as well

"your profile says you're girl", And an incredibly hot one I must say. :)

It depends on the way you read it, whole sentences can be twisted just by switching some comma....

1-Puffin says, TheVoid is hot.
2-Puffin, says TheVoid, is hot.

But since I'm a narcissist bastard, I was probably addressing me. :D

Or not? :whistle:

At the end, it's just a joke. :)

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 02:02 PM

You seem to know the tricks of the english language pretty well for someone who lives in a non-english speaking country. Or do comma's also come up in italian?

Stroggy 11-12-2004 02:06 PM

I was under the impression placement of commas created about the same effect in every language.

Even in Latin, hence the example of a typical sentance the Oracle of Delphi would say: Boy not girl (when asked what gender someone's child would be)

This can be read as "Boy, not girl "or "Boy not, girl"

In this case its a boy named Joshua so can we please get back on topic, gentlemen?

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 02:14 PM

Sorry still :ot: .

But I though all different languages had different ways of punctuation. At my school there are many lebanese people and they always say that words in their language have no meaning in our language, or that there is just simply no word for it. Because of these differences I thought punctuation and language styles through all languages were different.

Stroggy 11-12-2004 02:28 PM

But the official language of Lebanon is Arabic... I'm not sure if there even are commas in arabic.

I do know that in most languages the comma has about the same function, be that language English, German or even Hebrew.

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 02:32 PM

I see now. Well I guess you learn something new everyday. :ok:

Stroggy 11-12-2004 02:40 PM

I looked it up in my Workbook Arabic (basic) there is a comma but it looks different and often serves a different function.

Iron_Scarecrow 11-12-2004 02:44 PM

I thought there may have been something like that. But I thought it would also happen in all languages. Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up Stroggy.

Back on topic.

Classic, if your sister ever sends you a picture, I'm sure we'd all love to see it. :D

Fawfulhasfury 11-12-2004 04:28 PM

No I wouldn't!! :sneaky: Sam, hand that baby back before I lose my mind and start to play with sharp things!!! LOL Just kidding, except for the part bout the picture. :whistle: Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :Brain: :Brain:

Classic Pig 11-12-2004 11:29 PM

I am trying to get her to e-mail me a pic but not having much joy! :hairpull:

I will put one up as soon as I can - Maybe make him my avatar :ok:

No, they always look different. Cannot be any other. And when you have your own baby, you won't confound it with another ones, believe me. ;)

Stroggy 14-12-2004 09:26 AM

sure, whatever.
But for the time being they all look the same... they all smell the same too

Of course they look different when you're starting to look good..

But just like with other people from other country`s...for most people they look almost the same..

Example: White People see less different in Black people then Black people do
