Calling all CA Greeks
 

In my time in the asylum I've noticed quite a few people here with Greek sounding names. I am half Greek. Last name is Mihalitsas, my family own diners and all that other good Greek stuff. I wanted to find all the asylum Greeks and get them together on one thread. Maybe one day we could even get together at a herf and meet each other.

Where is Christos? I think he fits the bill. :hm

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I saw this expecting to come in here and fin a bunch of frat boys talking about their days of hazing freshmen. Glad to see you are all about real Greeks... Carry on...

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

he is deep into his law books :) lol yeah mr christos fits the bill. Do you by any chance have curley hair? or look like a speed skater?

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I had a gyros the other day, is that close enough?

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

;s Didn't mean to disappoint you. It probably exists somewhere on this sight. haha

At the moment no on the curly hair because it is short but when it gets long it is very curly and Greek looking. I'm not quite sure what a speed skater looks like but I'm going to say yes anyway:sh

:r

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

It's all Greek to me!

Μηνιν αϜειδε Θεά Πηληϊαδεω Αχιλῆος
ουλομενην ἥ μῡρί' Αχαιoῖς αλγε' εθηκε
πολλὰς δ' ιφθῑμους ψῡχὰς ΑϜιδι προϊαψεν
ἡρωων αυτοὺς δε Ϝελωρια τευχε κυνεσσιν
οιωνοῖσι τε πᾶσι · Διὸς δ' ετελειετο βουλή ·
εξ οὑ δη τα πρωτα διαστητην ερισαητε
Ατρεϊδης τε Ϝαναξ ανδρῶν και δῑος Αχιλλεύς .

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Still pretty greek to me after translating it?

Wrath Ϝ saw a goddess Piliiadeo Achilios
oulomenin the myrί 'Achaiois algae' ethike
many d ifthimous souls A Ϝ properties proiapsen
those heroes not Ϝ eloria Vol kynessin
oionoisi tech Pasi; Zeus d eteleieto chamber;
hence the first public diastitin erisaite
Atreides king of men tech Ϝ Zeus and Achilles.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Thanks. Nice to meet you Taki. Glad another Greek found this thread.

My Greek isn't that good Hugh but I will work on translating this on a day when I don't have two midterms.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Nice to meet you too Rebelknight....Always nice to meet a fellow Greek!!

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Ya think? :r: :D

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Try not to between 6 and 6...and on that note will be back in town around thanksgiving any way we can meet up again and burn a few?

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I missread the title and thought this was going to be a computer help thread.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Checking in!! I definitely thought this was going to be a frat thread too. Definitely excited to see some other Greeks on here :D Where have you all been hiding??

Don't worry, there's more where that came from.:tu

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Finally. I was beginning to think everyone was making you up. Nice to meet you Christo.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Great idea for the thread :tu I'm a bit busy these days so it took me a moment to see this. Nice to 'meet' you too.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Thanks. I definitely understand about being busy too. I just finished my first round of midterms and I still have a ton of work to do. CA is my biggest time waster(reason to procrastinate) though.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Hey Christo....I love the Olympiakos avatar (assuming that is where you got that from), I have followed them for years now with my father, we are both huge fans.:D

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

It is from Olympiakos :) There are no other teams in Greece ;)

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Spent two weeks in Central/Northern Greece in July. Mostly in Larissa visiting my brother on a NATO assignment. Spent a few days up around Thessaloniki.

Highlights were:
Delphi
Tomb of Phillip II (father of Alexander)
Thormopylae and the statue of Leonidas
Thessaloniki
Every meal I had!

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

mmm food in Thessaloniki is amazing.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

It's sad to say but I have never been to Greece. If everything works out I should be going with the family this summer.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Sorry Brother...that is unfortunate. When I was younger I used to go to Greece every other year but havn't been back for a few years now, but planing a trip next fall for me and my wife (shes never been)...can't wait!:)

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Greece draw Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic in their group for the 2012 UEFA Euro cup. I'd be disappointed if they don't get out of this pool. Hears to hoping it's a repeat of 2004. I still remember watching the second game against Portugal.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I still have all the games tapped....what a great year!!!
We should definitely get out of the group stage...if not you are so right, it would be very disappointing

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I was in Greece when they won the Euro cup. It is something I will never forget :)

I don't know about an easy draw though.. Russia and Poland are good. Russia is a bit older but they can score. Poland is the host country and that is always dangerous.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

This is true but if they can't get out of this group I don't see them surviving in any of the other groups either. Things could turn out very different but looking at it right now it looks like the group with the least amount of "serious" competition. Poland doesn't worry me so much. Hosting is a great honor but they didn't have to go through qualifying and may not be up to the test. Austria and Switzerland combined for 4 points and failed to get out of the group stage in 2008 and well we know what happened to Portugal in 2004 ;)

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I bet Portugal is wishing they were in our group. Their group is insane!

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Any Greek out there taking off / or has off Friday to watch the Game???? Cant wait to the start of the tournament!!

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Sounds racist to me :hm

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Im in a golf tournament friday but i'll have the game on on my phone. I know that's against golf etiquette but some things are just too important to play by the rules

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Love the attitude brother!! I will be watching it on a tv at work! My wife yelled at me for using my vacation days...apparently I need to save them for when we have our baby in Nov.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

This isn't where you parked your car, Dave :r

I will be watching the game online while I'm in class then go somewhere to watch the rest. EuroCup 2012! :wo

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I know how to swear in greek...does that count? :D

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

You are in Bao! We will just say you are from a village up in the mountains :)

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I lived in Athens for two years- does that count? είναι ελληνικά για μένα!

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

:lr :lr

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

My neighbor is Greek, does that count?

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Garbage....refs were terrible in this game!!
Should have got the win!! But happy the tie was there

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Samaras sucks by the way...he never wants to get back on D and his touch is horrendous!!!!

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I'll take the point especially after going down a man and a goal but really wish we had scored on the penalty

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

I totally disagree Taki. He is one of our best offensive players and has great touch but some times hangs onto the ball too long. He will be a big reason we advance if that happens. His defense is not going to make or break Greece.

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

Really?? He hasn't contributed really anything in the past and has only scored 4 goals this year for Celtic (not an offensive threat at all. I think we need to start playing our youngsters a little more??

Re: Calling all CA Greeks
 

He has to get going. His talent is there, he just needs to taste the back of the net or set up others and he will be fine. He did have some bad plays but he's better than that. Salpingidis should have started.
