Title: aragosta. lobster. same thing.
Post by Aragosta on Feb 9^th, 2007, 2:44pm

A few have already asked about the name change.

Years ago I started gaming under the name 'Shrike'.
Hyperion (Dan Simmons novel) came out, then everyone in the world started calling themselves 'Shrike'.

So I changed it to Rock_Lobster, cuz the B52's rock.
And life was good, as there are not too many people going by the name Rock_Lobster.

Now games are out that require a unique handle... and while Rock_Lobster is uncommon it is not rare enough to actually snag.

Thus comes Aragosta... my Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 tag. Aragosta is 'Lobster' in Italian.
I will prolly change it back to Lobster here though, cuz im lobster and all that.

Very, very little. My parents were from around Naples, I am US born and raised. They along with my grandparents spoke italian when they didn't want the kids to know what they were talking about... after years of that I kind of have a slight ear for it and I don't have a problem pronouncing it.. I'm just not fluent... and that just about kills me, because it's such a beautiful language.

Where was your family from?

with warm regards,
Tony

My grandmother (nonny ;;D ) was from Italy and I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure where exactly. BUT I am not ashamed of my nack for lasagna, meatballs, and cooking skills thanks to her.

I am not fluent at all. I know more French than Italian, my other side of the family is French (grandparents from that side are called mamae and papae well actually mae and pae for short). I just know a few words, and when I read the Italian I immediately though, "understand?" in italian, I heard that word alot as a kid lol.

My father was born in Naples, and lived in the Vomero neighborhood. I go visit my aunts/uncles/cousins, etc as often as I can, usually every 2 years or so. Great city, with awesome food, and close to nice beaches (amalfi, capri, ischia, positano) in the summer.
