Ok fellows. Somebody with a "down south" book tell us what's on Harold's hat.

I have an idea but am mum

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #1 on:** January 25, 2003, 08:47:41 am »

Tom,

Looks like it's been shat upon

Noble

Tom · « **Reply #2 on:** January 25, 2003, 08:51:59 am »

I don't think it's Shatupon, It looks more like It's Missed than Hit. Yaupon doesn't grow that far south either.

DanG · « **Reply #3 on:** January 25, 2003, 09:24:21 am »

Hmmmm. Poison Sumac, perhaps?

Jeff · « **Reply #4 on:** January 25, 2003, 03:13:04 pm »

I'm not sure maybe honeysuckle? What ever it is it must me fresh. Look at all that sap running out of it.

dewwood · « **Reply #5 on:** January 26, 2003, 12:50:00 pm »

It looks like it could be low cussed!

Texas Ranger · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2003, 03:53:58 pm »

Hope it's not pisselum.

ADfields · « **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2003, 11:57:54 pm »

It shure looks like Sumac to me but Arizona's Sumac is the onley kind I have been around and it's not poison that I know of. Could be if you eat it but if you get it on you not at all, not like Poison Oak and sutch. I do know folks from the east would stay WELL away from the Sumac thats found in Arizona saying things like "When I was a kid in Jersey" and the storys ended like "and I could not walk for a week.

I got a book that shows pictures of

black locast
mesquite
velvet ash

all look similar

Tom · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2003, 02:38:40 pm »

you'll not find those in Sebastian, Florida though, Sawbilly. What Harold has on his head might be a local plant or may be an import from across the ocean. You never know in S. Central Florida. I having a little trouble figuring out where his head stops and his hat begins.

Jeff · « **Reply #11 on:** January 28, 2003, 03:41:39 pm »

I think this is one of the areas of the forum that ole Harwald has never found.

Tom · « **Reply #12 on:** January 28, 2003, 04:49:57 pm »

Yeah, me too, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Tom · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2003, 05:26:03 pm »

I know it isn't Mango the leaves are too small and I don't see any strings hanging from his teeth.

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2003, 05:57:51 pm »

It would serve Harold right if we started making light of his hat

You never know what you might miss if you don't read every post on every thread!

I am trying as hard as I can but you should help with a Noble effort.

What's that on his head? hair brush?

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2003, 07:09:06 pm »

Well OK Tom here goes, I'm just glad Harold will never see this. He's mentioned going to Costa Rica so I suppose he knows a little of the lingo-----probably picked up some in Fla as far as that goes.

I think it's a dingleberry bush cause it has a 'pelota de mierda' under it.

DanG · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2003, 10:22:30 am »

I'm thinking its a schmartt ash.

CHARLIE · « **Reply #19 on:** January 29, 2003, 12:01:14 pm »

Looks like wateroak to me. They require a lot of air to grow. At first I thought it might be a loggerhead, but realized that was not a tree. Maybe it's a ...loggerhead under the leaves.

Jeg bruker nøyaktig det samme programet Harold, I bare sier ja og ingen i Spanish I gjør ikke en gang tror at det oversetter godt

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2003, 07:22:17 pm »

Harold,

That explains why you use such clean language

If you go to Costa Rica make sure those guys are smiling if they call you a 'pelota' (little ball).

Tom,

I hope she was looking for a plant like the one growing on Harolds hat. I just love those jungle gardens.

I'm going to send a note to our member in South America to log on and translate for me. Ya'll better start editing if you need to...

Noble_Ma · « **Reply #35 on:** February 02, 2003, 07:09:01 pm »

Hey Jeff, I think they're using the language translators that are available on line. http://ets.freetranslation.com/

Copy and paste and see what you get. Good one Harold

I figured they were. I hope those translaters do a better job with spanish them German. I have translated German to English and you can come up with some funky stuff. The translators are generally word translators not grammer. Grammer can be so different that some things make no sense, or mean something different entirely.

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #42 on:** February 03, 2003, 04:44:21 am »

Actually, JB, that's what makes learning an udder language so difficult. In Spanish, for instance, the subject is at the end of the sentence. Bout when ya think ya have a handle on it, ya cuss somebody out !! THAT ain't fun, specially when he's holding one of them 24 inch butcher blades !!!!

Tom, everyone down here calls it Fl holly. Might be a "name" thing, like grouping together several oaks as "red" oak

Tom · « **Reply #43 on:** February 03, 2003, 06:58:35 am »

Ah yes, Brazilian Pepper. We always called it a Pepper tree and it will take over the world given a little opening. One of the worse imported plants ever to enter Florida. It has been banned from being sold but its fruit is love by birds and spread far and wide. The wood is useless, it makes thickets and is just generally a nuisance. I've climbed in a many a one of them.

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #44 on:** February 03, 2003, 07:20:13 am »

Well if you want my opinion, I think Harold's hat and Harold himself are both quite a curiosity in any language

The problem with different meanings in a strange language reminds me of my wild college days.

My best friends were Argintines-----they taught me to talk naughty in Spanish but were very little help otherwise in the linguistic department.

One time my best friend's little brother came to Iowa State for a visit and a group of South Americans took him to a Go-Go Bar in celebration. They invited me as well although they should have known I wasn't into that type of entertainment. The little brother had had a couple of drinks and was slouched back in his chair with a smile on his face and his eyes wide open observing the go-go dancer. Of course I was paying little heed to the stage but , being of a more serious nature, was trying to develop my Spanish skills. I described the picture of Daniel (the little brother) in my best Spanish. The group burst out laughing followed by a bunch of jabbering. They finally decided I described Daniel well no matter if I called him a hombre felis (happy guy) or a hambre felix (hungry cat).

SEE ?? That's the problem with Spanish. Normally a cat is "el gato". As in "El gato, negro". The black cat. Best thing, I guess, is getcha a Spanish girlfriend to interpret for ya !!
