Language / NAMES POLES GIVE THEIR DOGS [76]

Azor was my mother's dog, Czarek my father's.

Azor was half Polish sheep dog and half wolf.

Czarek was half wolf and half german shepherd.

Our current dog is named Kasia. She's a fat little beagle that loves chasing moles.

My cosuin has a bull mastiff named Diesel, but his father calls him Pikuś. Before that they had a female pitbull named Jasmin that he called Biała because she was pure white. (He refuses to call them by American names. He's a fun guy, Uncle Olek. :] )

My aunt Janina has a half pitbull/half german shepherd named Oreo because of the coloring, and a pocket chihuahua named Paco.

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

It's only what I heard. I can't really quote it. Maybe it's a hybrid word from all sorts of people.

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]


I was always told and have actually read before that "babcia" is definitely Polish, and that "busha" is Hungarian.

Anyone else heard something similar. I can't remember where I read it before, but busha is Hungarian.

People would always say something about their "busha" whenever they found out I was Polish, and I had no clue wtf they were talking about...

I look Polish....

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

Poles are part of the Western branch of Slavs, and considered Eastern by people in the west, so it evens out and makes us Central European...

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]


Drugs are made chemically....this just happens to be a grass that has some effects if it lights on fire. Whether they are controlled flames, or wildfires, people and animals will get high...

Used to be considered a family friendly recreation back in the day. Cowboys noticed that cows ate it and got "loopy" so they ate it, some smoked it, and shared it with the world. Used to be called Cow-weed or cow-grass, not sure, but people used to think it was actually fun for the family. Of course, the government has told us otherwise.

Travel / Fishing in Poland - where to go, what to catch? [79]

That's what it was. I couldn't think of the name.

:]

Lol


In Alabama they catch those with their hands. No lie. It's a freaking sport to those guys. They put their thumbs through their mouths and gills, and then they lift with the legs and see how big it is. Then they let it go.

Maybe you can start this new sport in Poland?

In the Brazilian Amazon they have 6 ft catfish that have been known to swallow children whole. Just recently they found a catfish that choked on a small local boy that was swimming with his brothers and died. It washed up on the shore and was estimated to have been 6.5 ft long.

Just a fast fact for yuh :]

Coordinated attack. Who on Earth can honestly say they've seen a pack of 1,000 wolves. That is something different.


Yup. Ask the loacals. Many men in Poland are outdoorsy so they'll relate to you and possibly even take you to a good spot. I know my uncles would. You going anywhere near Lapsze Nizne or Nowy Targ???

F*ck those wolf killing b@stard cousins of ours!

Travel / Fishing in Poland - where to go, what to catch? [79]

My father tells me that the wolves actually got pretty smart. They've learned that while they are in Poland they are safe, but in other places they will be killed. He says that they've learned to cross over and eat livestock in other countries like Slovakia, where they would normally be shot, but when they are done they run back to Poland and get away with it.

Sucks for everyone else :P

New laws have made Poland a sanctuary for animals compared to other animals in Poland. Wolves, bison, and other key animals are making a comeback, and in some cases are only left in Poland. 1% of Poland is protected land.

I know this can't possibly help you out when it comes to places to hunt, but I don't want it to look like Poland is such a lawless place.

I'm not sure about small game, but my father and uncles would always hunt in Poland. They would get pretty big fish (not sure where or what kind) and they hunted deer and other larger game animals. Overall I think it'll be a fun place for any outdoorsman. Hope you have fun.

Mid air collisions are the worst.

So anyone have any other Polish legends? I like reading about stuff like that.

Laying low. Waiting for a rich oil merchant to walk by and he's gonna steal his Visa, ATM, and passport.

Found pictures of him, and the river, but no footprint.

I like that story though, thanks. :] (they were all good reads by the way)

Anybody know any others?

By "his," you mean Janosik?

I like that one. Never heard of it before. Good post. :]

All good reads. Thanks. Are there any good haunted places or Polish ghost stories I could read about?

Life / Polish folklore/legends [58]

Hopefully. I'm sure as hell gonna give it a try. I'm trying to decide between University of North Carolina or Ohio State. Both have excellent football programs, but don't really know which one has a better Architecture major. Oh well. I've got time.

So any other children eating legends? Does bigfoot sneak into Polish villages and kidnap the women???

Like the baba-jaga! :]


Great. I got to spend some time with NCAA coaches and trained with a couple of Pros. down in West Virginia for 2 weeks. One of the greatest experiences of my life :]. Well worth the trip.

How have you been?

Life / Polish folklore/legends [58]


I wouldn't consider myself Polish if I didn't. Their like Poland's Romulus and Remus. Except 2 of them form other countries and nobody dies. :]
