I am the wind!

KitZune · 06-27-2004, 07:57 PM

WHOOOOOOOOSH!

At school I was playing Counter Strike with my friends and I cleared an entire level of the best players in my class without them even knowing where I was... and my reply to each of them with each kill was "I AM THE WIND!" shortly after I changed my name to THZ*Kitzunekaze... which means Foxwind. It was rather funny, and since then the new nickname has stuck. so the mighty "Fox" name evolves yet again.

That's a mouthful.

Looks good in kanji though.

insaneferret · 06-28-2004, 07:57 AM

shiroitachikyoo - insaneferret

hehe, thought that translation would sound cooler for some reason

He's right you know.

But insaneferret has a dancing tanuki with giant balls! And MAN are they hypnotic.

(Incidentally, ferret, where'd you get that translation? It doesn't make sense to me... I'd have said kyouteki feretto, since as far as I know there is no native Japanese word for "ferret". But I dunno. I'd post the kanji but I don't think the board supports them...)

insaneferret · 06-29-2004, 05:19 PM

i just browsed the web for the meanings of the words, i'm certain shiroitachi means ferret, as i found a clear cut translation of that HERE and elsewhere, i actially couldn't find the word for insane, because its such a common word to describe the japanese language and fouled my search, but i found somewhere that kyoo was japanese for mad so i just mixed em together in the same order as kitzunekaze, adjective after the noun (is that right)

so assuming kyouteki means insane from your post, i guess it should be shiroitachi kyouteki

i thought they would sound cooler, both being small furry deranged animals
if you could get me the symbols for it that would be great, would vectorize them and use them in sigs and such

edit, just noticed, would *kyou*teki = kyoo ?

Ferret's sig is not a ferret. Looks more like a racoon. Or a dude in a suit.

insaneferret · 07-01-2004, 05:59 AM

well its obvious its a dude in a suit, but the animal the suit represents is ambiguous, could be a raccoon or a black footed ferret (the most common breed), ferrets and raccoons are extremely closeley related, only difference is racoons are bigger and have a bushy tail compated to the ferrets flat wedge shaped tail

obligatory cute ferret photos:

Hoho! It took me a while, but I DID find the word you meant. Apparently "itachi" means "weasel", and I can only assume the "shiro" is the character for "white", so white weasel. Hmmmm.

"Kyoo" and "kyou" are two different ways of spelling the same Japanese sounds, and "-teki" is something stuck onto, say, a state to make it an adjective. In Japanese, adjectives do generally come before the noun they describe. What I forgot in my first post there was that "na" usually follows to make the subject clearer.

So now that I've confused everyone including myself, the final product would be "kyouteki na shiroitachi"! I may still be mistaken, but as far as I know it's correct. Brzap!

THAT was painstaking.

EDIT: Make sure to rename it to a .jpg when you save it, ferret: it's a .txt right now for direct-linking purposes from GeoCities.

And re: ferret's avatar, it's a really weird reference to Japanese mythology. Raccoon dogs are known in Japan as "tanuki", and generally portrayed as drunken mischief-makers who play tricks by shapeshifting into teakettles or monks. They are deities of gluttony and drunkenness, and for some bizarre reason are often portrayed with comically gigantic balls. I couldn't make this stuff up, folks!
