Slave To The Network Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Tré is so fucking insane! I love him!
The Snark Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 The fact that Frankito is now grown up seriously shocked me! And that car...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Treleparc: Thunk! #NBA#sunset#beachbasketball Tre commented afterwards saying: "Frankie sinks another one!"
Yaz. Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I'm getting old, I thought that Frankito was blonde... what happened??
DannyDirnt Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 So now we know Tré used his time off to go on holidays to an island with his son. How cute
Schlappy Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I'm getting old, I thought that Frankito was blonde... what happened?? maybe he was as a baby
gerardsangel4977 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Very cool pics! Wanderlust isn't really an English word derived from German though, it's a "loanword" from German. There isn't a word for it in English so we borrow the German word instead. Like how we borrow deja vu from French. So we are kind of stealing it in this case. First, I was not talking about the term wanderlust, specifically; I was addressing the general sentiment that English and German have words in common. Second, to clarify, Germanic languages aren't derived from German; They are derived from the language spoken by the nomadic tribes who eventually settled parts of Europe (including what is now England and Germany). English and German (along with Dutch, Swedish, and others) are examples of Germanic languages. They are linguistic cousins and, as such, have many similar qualities, but neither language, as a whole, is derived directly from the other, which brings us to the example of "wanderlust".... Wanderlust is a bit of a strange case because it's sort of a loanword-that-isn't. Technically speaking, the usage of wanderlust in the English language was originally borrowed from the German term, but the definition of wanderlust, as it is used in English, is ascribed from the meanings of the English words "to wander" (meaning "to move about aimlessly") and "lust" (meaning "want" or "desire"). Hence, we get the very literal definition of "wanderlust" as a desire to travel, often for the sake of traveling. In fact, wanderlust, itself, is now considered an English word because, as others have mentioned, the German wanderlust is no longer used and because the meaning of wanderlust still makes sense within the context of English language (as opposed to a more obvious loanword, like "kindergarten" or "schadenfreude"). Now, the root words, in either case (wander/wandern and lust/lust) are prime examples of precisely what I was referring to. They are related terms that simply exist in both languages because of their shared base. Make sense now?

But I bow to your greater knowledge! Thanks for the explanation.
moonflower93 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I like that they have an Instagram, but I miss the random facts Billie posted on Twitter. he tweets now like once in a blue moon... i love the random facts as well

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, it is technically classified as a loanword, so you're not wrong, in that sense. It's just a very complicated and unusual example of one in that it was so closely related that we were able to literally make it part of our language, rather than just borrowing it.
DannyDirnt Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Mike seems to have lost interent in Instagram
Marrymebilliejoe Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I am just saying if Tre wasn't a drummer, he could have pursued some photography job xD I applaud him ^__^
tammy_cool Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 The fact that Frankito is now grown up seriously shocked me! And that car... Yea the grown up thing got me too. The last time I saw him was on that Pop Disaster diary thing as a baby. Its so weird
Femme Gauche Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 "My grandpa Jay Jackson's fiddle I just restored. He would be 130 years old" bj_unoxx
Cori Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 "My grandpa Jay Jackson's fiddle I just restored. He would be 130 years old" bj_unoxx Dang. People on his mom's side of the family must have a habit of having children later. That's a very nice fiddle, too. I wonder if he knows how to play already or if he's going to learn?
Femme Gauche Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I dunno. I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a challenge for him to learn the basics of it, but restoration seems like just something to do for the sake of itself.
Firecracker Lell Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Billie's pretty good at restoring Nice fiddle though! His Mom was born late ( 130 - 81 = 49 ) Same as Billie Joe Ah whatever

Annie, get your gun Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 ^ Aw (His shadow is like a giant... giant)
Firecracker Lell Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Mike's shadow reminds me of Daddy Long Legs
gerardsangel4977 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 "My grandpa Jay Jackson's fiddle I just restored. He would be 130 years old" bj_unoxx That is awesome! Billie definitely has one hell of a musical family....I think it's great Yes I understood that . But wasn't she one of several kids too? Not that it is really important. Yeah, she was like one of 12 or something like that.
