I found this song on youtube that was made in the late 30s or early 40s and it's apparently about NKVD Head Beria, however i can't find any lyrics or about it because i don't speak foreign languages, let alone one from the Caucuses. does anyone know what these lyrics are?
A successful propaganda campaign by the Georgian government has left most Mingrelians and Svans in Abkhazia wanting to rejoin Georgia. An armed revolt has broken out in the Mingrelian and Svan parts of the country, which takes up about 7/10. The Mingrelian Independence & Liberty Front (MILF) is leading the cause, with adequate funding from the Georgian government.
Many have taken to the streets, and Georgian soldiers will be assisting in the armed revolt, aimed to break Abkhazia one final time.
My boyfriend and I just found a cassette tape in his collection and the text is either Georgian or Mingrelian. Google translate can do the former and not the latter, and I have to hand-write the characters. Stroke order seems to be an issue though. If I don't write the characters just right, GT won't bring up the characters I'm looking for. And the dialect may not even be Gregorian. I'm only managing to get partial translations to English. Can someone help translate the text here? I at least just want to know the artist's name. Additional translations would be a bonus though. http://i.imgur.com/liDAx6P.jpg
Now that LGBT Pride is well established by USA/UK ngos all over Tbilisi, with imported ideas from abroad, it's time to establish the long overdue MINGRELIAN PRIDE WEEK in Georgia as a domestic in-country movement that celebrates the largest and most interesting ethnic minority in the country of Georgia. I find the women quite often very attractive, and the men too, not counting some of the itinerant peasants and IDPs who commute almost daily between Zugdidi and Gali, over the Abkhazian border, to sell trinkets and knick knacks among other activities. The sound of the Mingrelian language is so musical and strong and a concert for my eager ears. Throughout the thousands of years of shared history, the Mingrelians have saved Georgia from foreign invaders countless times! It seems their men fight better when required to defend the territory. It has been written by many historians that Mingrelians are the descendants of the marvelous Colchis peoples, who may have been the ancient Trojans also, there have been links established by archeologists and anthropologists in the last several decades of academic research. Let's give the MINGRELIANS a super large measure of applause at least one week out of the year, and open up new and plentiful Mingrelian Museums also, to highlight their achievements over the millennia, in every city of Georgia. Such tributes MUST start today.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!
They were cooked in Greece.
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
If yes, which one and could you talk about the current situation of that language?
If there's one that you'd like to learn, feel free to share too.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyโre on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
