    Gotta tell ya Ozzie, I was gonna take a Native American language class in HS but they were all full up, so Spanish it was...what else was I gonna do, learn French? Now there's a language that has zero worth to me.
    You are thinking about this all wrong, j0z3r. You take French because all the prettiest girls take French. To make it even better, I was the only male in the room. And the teacher was fresh from college, and a hottie. Beat hell out of the tubby Spanish teacher.

    Well I'll be...where were you and your sagely advice when I was in HS? Never would have thought of that, I was too busy being an idiot. :)

    How is "Cugine" pronounced?

    And what about "Arganese"? Is it ar-ga-nay-zay?

    I get the impression you may be joking about the second part, but since it is the owner's last name I think it is just like it looks, like Chinese only Arganese, from Argana.

    I'd imagine Cugine is coo-geen-ay.

    No, I was dead serious, Joe. I didn't know the owner's name was Argana. "Arganese" looks like it could be Italian.

    Another ccom forum mis-communication, how many is that now 10,000? Well, the guy's name is Gene Arganese actually, I made a failed attempt at a joke about him being from the (fictional) country of Argana, which would therefor make him Arganese. :) But quite right, it does sound like it could be Italian, and in fact Gene Arganese is of Italian descent according to an article found on a quick google search.
