The Get To Know You Thread

[Mikki]

Just out of curiosity, magadag25, how do you pronounce your surname?

[Stevesanity]

The Thin Red Line

Excellent choice. More of a philosophical introspective movia than a war movie.

Tool.

Another fine choice.

Yup, although Saving Private Ryan too captured the reality of war even though it was very graphically done. In my opinion Black Hawk Down is overrated and could have added more realism to it, or as you would say make it more of a philosophical introspective movie.

[J@3]

I think Stripes also captured the reality of war. We will remember them

[Jugs]

Do you have Croatian roots like Bogut?

Yes, yes I do. My parents are both from Croatia. My father came to Australia with his family when he was 3 years old. He went to Croatia on a holiday and met my mother and brought her back here.

Just out of curiosity, magadag25, how do you pronounce your surname?

The "Croatian" way is Skrnjug umm SKR not like skra but like SKR then nyug not like any but like the spanish n with the ~ on top.... SKR nyuuug

I just went through my growing charts. The results are rather interesting (for me):
-at the age of 14, I was six foot (183 cm) tall and weighted 130 pounds (59 kg).
-at the age of 16, I was exactly 6'2'' (188 cm) and had around 180 pounds (80 kg) (I trained a lot back then - mostly weights).
I know that I'm 6'2 1/2'' right now, but I was curious what my weight is. I found out that
I'm 150 pounds (69kg). Isn't that a bit unhealthy ? I know that my metabolism is pretty fast and that I do a lot (A LOT) of aerobics (running), but it's still rather strange that my weight actually lowered from back then. And yeah, I'm skinny as hell, but I'm rather big boned (with that I actually mean that my bones are big, so please, no Cartman jokes ).

No. It's an added touch. It gives it that little extra. I think it's a very clever nickname.
