Not everybody can be happy-yappy-blappy always - there is grief and sadness and hurt in the world too. I feelt quite badly treated. People who never lost anything - don't know .

- Very chilly - but Pythagoras would have pulled out every hair from his beard by now. He had a sect that he founded, they were not allowed to jump over fences, pick up things that fall down or eat beans. Pythagoreanism. Now go and nominate that Magpie. You found that, you fix that.

It has an article, it is a good pic, even if it contains a ferrocious magoie. So? Hafspajen (talk) 14:08, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Great stuff... looks good. but where is Hans Busse? Hafspajen (talk) 16:02, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
You mean really lost or it is just an American proverb? Love Fritz von Uhde. Hafspajen (talk) 16:35, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- I could only find two of Busse's works on Commons — this Cameroon elephants is the other. He doesn't have an article on Ger. Wiki, either.
- Thought Uhde would strike a chord w/you. I considered his Winter Landscape but the halo is just too much for me. Sca (talk) 17:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Of course Hunters in the Snow is the quintessential winter painting. I've loved it since I first saw it reproduced in, I think, Life magazine when I was a teen. I hung a repro in one of my first apartments (& still have it). But I didn't want to go back that far style-wise in my gallery — it wouldn't fit with all the mostly 19th C. paintings there, which tend to be ... impressionist or symbolist? Sca (talk) 21:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Those English scenes from K Melling strike me as rather too fussy. Sca (talk) 21:20, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
39 what? 39 beers is enough, dollars - not - 39 years of bachelorship - too much - well, depends on what you meanHafspajen (talk) 21:44, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

- Funny you should mention beer — I was outta beer, just came back from store.

Parle vous le Francais? — Moi? Non, et tu?
- Eh, oui, French, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Italian, Esperanto, some Hungarian, Latin, (some English?) a little Dutch and German too. ... Hafspajen (talk) 15:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- My experience is, if you know English and you have to speak a little French, you can. Everyone knows a few words. I still remember some from my time in la Suisse decades ago. Also remember een paar worden of Dutch, and snippets of Polish, Lithuanian & Russian. Never was in Sweden, DK or Norway, though. (Danish seems to have some cognates with German — ??)
- Dutch is a funny language, what with all those throaty, gargling sounds — you've heard Van Gogh pronounced in Dutch — and sorta mumbling action with the lips. But nice people. Sca (talk) 15:52, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- Eh, oui, French, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Italian, Esperanto, some Hungarian, Latin, (some English?) a little Dutch and German too. ... Hafspajen (talk) 15:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Suddenly I can speak Norsk! — "Fresh breeze on the Norwegian coast."
Is "fresh fish" frisk fisk? Sca (talk) 13:55, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oh YES! I have to add that if you make a translation using the Swedish meaning of the words it will give you: fresh breeze on the Norwegian kissed. Hafspajen (talk) 14:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
- Figgers.
- Evocative painting. Brings to mind the first part of a beautifully written short novel by O.E. Rolvaag called The Boat of Longing (Længselens Baat). (He was one of the many Norwegian immigrants to Minn.) Sca (talk) 14:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

I thanked you twice, did you noticed anything. Hafspajen (talk) 15:51, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
THIS got removed, as nonsense. In Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia sauna-going plays a central social role. These countries boast the hottest saunas and the tradition of massaging fellow sauna-goers with leafy, wet birch bunches ('vasta' or 'vihta' in Finnish, 'viht' in Estonian, 'slota' in Latvian, 'vanta' in Lithuanian, 'веник' (venik) in Russian). The fast movements of the massage have created a common misconception that it is somewhat of a beating, however, the correct method of giving this kind of massage is to curb the hot air without actually touching the skin.
Maybe we should post the Russian Venus there? Hafspajen (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- Well, User:Altenmann also edited Banya (sauna), which includes Russian Venus pic plus description of веники use, but when I looked he hadn't removed the latter.
I'm not an expert on sauna practices, so I don't feel like opposing his editing of sauna, and I can't see how adding Russian Venus there would accomplish much.
- In the dirty, dark Warsaw winter, I used to love going to the Hotel Bristol sauna, sweating, swimming in the pool & on way home stopping at a so-called 'Irish' pub for a Guinness. Sca (talk) 17:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Koller's "stand-up bar for dogs". Hafspajen (talk) 23:33, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- Well, he liked animals. Dogs have trouble finding water in the cities ... they don't have fickpengar to go and buy a Cola or a cofee. So, it is animal drinkwater there - I think it is a fine gestutre. Thoughtful. Hafspajen (talk) 21:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- No doubt old Rudi was a Tierfreund, but this apparently was done by a commercial entity (a hotel) 100 years after his death, so to my way of thinking it didn't have much to do with Koller the person.
That was Rude... Hafspajen (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

- Saw it.
- Actually, Dad had another brother, the oldest (probably born in late 1890s), who died as a result of WWI. He was a soldier in the trenches on the Western Front. Can't remember if he got TB or the flu from the great 1918 flu pandemic. His name was Conrad, or Konrad. Of course we never knew him, but I have his U.S. Army ammunition belt from WWI. They also had a sister, Valberg. Donno if that was a common Norwegian girl's name. I've never heard of anyone else named Valberg. We (my sisters and I) never knew her, either. Sca (talk) 17:51, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Rudolf Koller[edit]
On 8 October 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rudolf Koller, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Rudolf Koller painted "the Swiss national animal" running in the road in front of traffic (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rudolf Koller. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
