Hello there.

After lurking for few days I registered.
And now, few things about me.
I live in Gdańsk, te city where World War II started, according to people in Europe. I was born and raised for 19 years in Szczecin, which, aside from being tongue-breaker for non-slavic people, belonged to Germany before mentioned war. There's history here everywhere.
I'm a proud owner of every Palahniuk's book that was translated into polish, few english ones and one in czech, which I can't read. Seemed like an interesting choice of souvenir from Praha at a time.
I'm one of those people who got into Palahniuk's novels because of the Fight Club movie(which was translated as Underground Ring). In my defence - if not for the movie he wouldn't be translated into polish.
Although Chuck Palahniuk is my favourite writer, my favourite novel is Watership Down by Richard Adams.
I wrote a few short-shitty-stories. They were short. And shitty. Though my mom liked them.
I don't worry abour global warming, though I understand why dutch people do.
If you're not polish you would probably have problems pronouncing my surname.

I'm not sure if I ever even saw a lobster in real life. But I did eat a lot of crayfish. Probably because I have difficult relationship with things that live in the sea. I prefer fish and animals that lived in the sweet water, not to be racist or anything, but lobster should just stay with it's own people.

Murgind...? Well, I suppose that if I'm going to protest then it's going to stick. But no, my nickname is not pronounced like it was polish verb.

That's felis silvestris silvestris. Close relative to domesticated cat, though far from domesticated. And also, animal which my surname comes from.
It looks ugly because it's pissed off.

Do they really have those places over there where I can pay 1 million dollars to shoot someone in the head and whatnot, like in Hostel?

I don't know him, but there's a lot Palahniuk's fans in Poland. My brother know two people who made their own Fight Club in real life. They were meeting and fighting just for fun Tongue

My story with "Mr": "Marv" was already taken, so I added "Mr".

Jesus, I might have completely overlooked the Mr thingy if it hadn't been pointed out.

Mostly because I didn't know that MrShadov was polish and I, at first, mistook this thread for the other hello from Poland new one (before I clicked it)... ( I really want to put double L's in PolLand, btw)

hrm. Shocked

Welcome, either way. Smile I do not mind your grammar for the fact that it is not your first language.

Hostel is absolutelly fictional. Killing people in hostels is an entertainment for locals only. And we use tourists for it. English tourists preferably.

And this "Mr" - it might, or might not, have something to do with a fact that this Big Evil Conspiracy that's taking over the world - 100% polish people. And you haven't suspected a thing.
Well, obviously, now that you know you'll have to be exterminated. Our secret hit squads are en route to your current locations. Cleverly disguised as fat alcoholics with moustaches.

The Mr thing is not weird. Murgind, Murmarv and Murshadov are just their names, you xenophobes. It's just like how they look at us with our Johns and Joesephs and Jodys and say "The Jo thing of creeping is us out."

This is a true story that happened last year in a village nit far from me:

Two Polish dudes entered a small shop wearing balaclavas and waving a knife. Theowner, an old man refused to hand over the days takings so after arguing they took off the balaclavas and bought a sammich. They were promptly arrested.

That's actually funny. The Mur-stuff. Mostly because there's not even one polish name starting with "mur-". Not even Muriel. But "mur" means "wall", so maybe it is conspiracy in the end?

@Barca Boy
To have so stupid polish people you'd have to live in Ireland or England. That's where we send them.

@Noahrm
Yes, yes we do. We also have Oreos for like, a month. I think Twinkies will be appropriate next. It's so nice to be a part of global village...

I'm waiting for Norway to get twinkies and Hostess cupcakes and purple M&M's (Though the last one is a long shot, they don't even have the "normal" M&M's!). Dammit.
