Paisa = Pie-sa. It's slang for "fellow countryman or friend."

In Colombia, it's people that come from the Department (equivalent of a U.S. State) of Antioquia. I travel to Medellin, the capital of Antioquia, relatively frequently. I wouldn't say it's "Costa Rica safe," but the chicks there are hot as hell, and may be worth risking a little something something. I'm just saying.  :-"

Nothing too hard about turbostar. [Turb-o Starr]

A little fun factoid for all of my fans- I used to be EvilAdol when I first joined in 2002.  After lurking for a few years I finally started posting under the name TurboSage.  After I forgot that password- I made a 3rd account known as Turbo_Sage.



There will be a test at the end of class!

I typically pronounce my name as Kurr-ah-new, but the technical way would be Kay-rah-new.

Turbo_Sage, TurboStar, Shubbinman, too many names! :D

Aha! So you are Turbo_Sage. Good to now. I was getting confused with all the new folks that popped up since I was here last. :)

My name is pronounced by myself the way I assume everyone would read it. Its taken from my favorite arcade game, but even if someone were to say that the official pronounciation should be romanjinized or something, I just say it how it really is.

Pretty much all of the names so far seem to be pronounced how I thought.

I think that I sway between "ker-AA-noo" and "ker-AW-noo", but I'll always pronounce esteban as "Stevek666".

Hahahhaahaha. :)

Whenever I see a post from Keranu, I sing the theme song to the PBS show "", substituting "Keranu" (Kurr an ooo), of course.
