travel tales Can't Post

In a recent trip to Hungary I found a local beer called White Tree Pale, replete with Lord of the Rings iconography; and learned that the Hungarian word for 'happy' is boldog!

The boldog of Moria was in fact always happy [In reply to] Can't Post

Until he was the victim of home invasion, and he just fought back, like anyone would.

But seriously, sounds like a fun find.

A multilingual friend, Danish, felt like most of Europe was easy to travel in linguistically, until she went to Hungary, where not everyone spoke English, and even trying to decode things like street signs in Magyar was difficult. For example, even for me not knowing German, I could figure out in Germany that "strasse" meant "street" because it's on so many signs, but she said Magyar resisted decoding tricks like that. (She still had a good time, so not dissuading anyone.)

So I can't resist The Boldog Song [In reply to] Can't Post

With apologies to Pharrell Williams

It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say

Tree Pale, she's here, you can take a break

I'm a old fire creature that could plunge into a pit

Through the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way, don't give a Shocked


[chorus]
(Because I'm boldog)

Clap along if you wanna fall from a bridge without a deck

(Because I'm boldog)

Clap along if you feel like there's a wizard clinging to your neck

(Because I'm boldog)

Clap along if you know that you didn't really want 'To Pass'

(Because I'm boldog)

Clap along if you feel like that NoWiz is a silly ass

awesome! [In reply to] Can't Post

Pharell Williams should apologise to you not not performing this version in the first place.
