Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Originally posted by TomServoOnce I was in Glendale and I saw Armenians. It was a bizarre occurence.Originally posted by TomServoI've seen whiter Armos than that.
He had me one better. It turned out that he was a Mormon that had completed his missionary duties in a two year stint at the LDS church in Armenia. This little midwestern whiteboy not only spoke Armenian fluently, He spoke the dialect with such clarity and precision that at times I had ask him to slow down and repeat himself. The bastard was even spurting out Vartanik jokes at one point. Naturally, we bonded, and learned a lot from each other - he taught me that such bizarre occurances are to be expected anywhere, even in at an Army post in Alabama. From me, he learned a boatload of Armenian dirty words and insulting phrases that his sheltered church language training had kept him from knowing. I bestowed upon him an honorary "IAN."
Score: ME - 2, YOU GUYS - VOHTERUS, bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

Originally posted by loser nameI'm in the Army. At one point in my career I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal, located in Huntsville, AL. I was living in the singles barracks, when one morning a short little blonde-haired, blue eyed white-boy came up to me and excitedly asked, "are you Armenian?" I was pretty startled, because I had no idea why this guy seemed so overjoyed to see me. So I told him that I was, and he proceeded to blurt out a long string of various Armenian salutations, all the while shaking my hand and embracing me like we were long-seperated relatives. I just thought to myself, "neat trick, he must be from Glendale or Boston, where he learned a few phrases to help him pick up armo chicks."

That is amazing dude. Although ddd's story is pretty hillarious. So it's tie between you guys.
I have story similar to yours. I was in Salt Lake City (Mormons again?), the whitest city this Armo eyes of mine had ever seen. Cute girls though. Anyways, I'm walking at night back from a movie theater and thinking to myself wouldn't it be the piss right now to run into an Armenian. So I cross the street and suddenly my ears pick up Tata's "Yerevani Akhchiknerin" from some dude's car as it was passing the intersection. I start waving my hands and screaming at the top of my lungs "APEEE HAIII ES?". There were some people around me at the time, who surely thought I was deranged, which surprisingly I am.

I was watching my rearview mirror on the highway. I had noticed these teens driving erratically in a white minivan directly behind me. They were weaving in their own lane in a jerky fashion, bouncing up and down listening to music and yelling at each other. I honestly could see all of this as 1. I have great eyes and 2. they were really, REALLY close to me.
Anyhow out of no where the traffic went from 75mph (flow of traffic) to a complete standstill in about a 1/4 mile. I looked to my rearview as I started to decelerate rapidly and noticed that these teens weren't paying attention. Once the driver noticed what was going on I was almost at a complete stop looking terrified in the rearview mirror like "This dude is totally gonna smack right into me!!"
As I am watching I see the driver violently yank the steering wheel at about 2' away from my bumper. In about a second or two the white minivan spins into the right hand lane doing a fast 180 then keeps spinning another 360 onto the shoulder w/o hitting ANYONE or damaging themselves!! All of this in perfect view of my rear view mirror.
I swear when he first grabbed hold of the wheel the entire minivan was like 1' to 2' MAX off my bumper and totally perpendicular to the lane we were both in. Very surreal moment ...
I have a lot of car stories when I think about them. Sometimes it involves white sheets, multi car pile ups and other not so nice things. Still the idea is to talk about the original idea and then a new idea right?
Ok how about this **Brainstorms**...
Actually let me get back to you guys on that ... drawing a total blank right now.
