Another Priest attacked in Turkey

[TurQ]

Recently 2 churches burned down in Alabama(Correct me may be it was Georgia?)

I wonder how many priests were attacked in USA today?

This could just be a stupid drunk Turk, or maybe the priest owes this guy some money or any trivial incident. Before putting stuff like this on the "alter" of Christian minorities being massacred in Turkey Norbert Neuhaus should have looked into why this incident happened. The incident itself is enough for him to call it "dramatic" and label it a minority issue. If it was intented to be an act by let say a local grey wolf or fundamental islamist group the guy would either be dead or if it was meant to scare him a "group" of people would have been involved. The "kebab knife" reveals that this kid is not one of these but of the hooligan type of urban scum.

I also know Papaz Erigi, The Priests Plum. It is really a delicous Plum when it is green and sour(with salt). I think it is the time for plum in Izmir. RUDO you are lucky, I really missed it :

It adds a new dimension to the Turkish expression "Papazi bulduk!" Which literally means, "we found the priest", and it actually means, we're in trouble. Maybe one of our Turkish members can explain the connection between "finding the priest" and "being in trouble."

So here is how it goes. As Rudo says there is a game called "Papaz kachti" which means "the priest has fled-run away". Its a kids game. The King in game cards is Papaz in Turkish, whereas for example Queen is "Kiz". It is played with 1-2 or more sets of cards depending on the number of players. First you take all the Kings out of the set except one. You distribute all the cards to the players at the table and starting with the shuffler you pull one card from the person next to you and when you get doubles (same number) you leave them on the table. So the more doubles you get the less cards you have in your hand. Your aim is to get rid of the cards. Whoever is left with the Papaz-Priest-King loses. So if you happen to pull the King from your mates hand your inner voice will say "Oh sh*t, Papazı bulduk" until you try and get rid of it.

Ah Ha, so that's where it comes from! I used to play this game with my grandma when I was a kid. What a character she was! Whenever I or my brother would mess with her, she would say "kedilere maskara olduk". Then whenever my dad would yell at her, she would say "itim soyler, gotum dinler," with a sly grin on her face. That used to crack me up, and now I use it sometimes. Then sometimes she would cut a fart, and I would say, "yaya, ne yapiyorsun gene", and she would say, "ne yapayim, delik asaya dogru". Those were the good ol' days, let me tell you.

Seytanlarim bol, bir iki tane daha olsa ne olacak!

Yok Yok ALlah gecinden versin, seytan'dan Allah'a siginmak lazim. Sen yinede azade ol seytanlardan
yeteri kadar cinleri tepesinde Ermeni var, sen bari eksik ol.

My grandma is also a very fun person. When I used to get in trouble when I was a kid she would say "Cok gezen tavuk ayaginda pislik getirir".

So you and your grandma spoke Turkish with each other?

The IStanbul( I mean the real Istanbul) Turkish is really rich, which we really are deprived off now. I have an older friend who is a teacher in a high school. He had visited several IStanbulian Greek and Armenian families in the past. He once said to me, if I want to hear old Istanbul Turkish, the best and easiest way is to meet with an Istanbul Greek or Armenian. They mostly preserved old Istanbul culture, unfortunetly there are few pockets that's left in Istanbul that has the authentic culture.

PS: This is kind of unrelated, you know the dessert "Revani" right? Is it kind of related with Armenians, because in Ottoman times Erivan used to be called as Revan, so Revani sounds like Erivanian?
