with a sense of humor. I have very dear Greek friends from Astoria - recently bought a camp up here in the Adirondacks. Well, to celebrate, they and 3 other Greek couples came up and spent the weekend (yep, cooking lamb in the yard) & singing and dancing. What is the name of that dance? What a time we had! Well, as a present I would like to make up an 8x10 framed poster to hang on the door. Would appreciate if someone could type up in Greek the following (in as big a font as u can so I can copy and enlarge it, centered if that's possible)
!! Warning - Private Property - No Trespassing !!
Greek spoken here
All trespassers must be prepared to eat, sing, and dance (whatever the name of the dance is)
Enjoy my hospitality, or risk being shot - with Ouzo & fine wine!
and then underneath,
Ompah! ( however it's spelled )
If anyone can do that, I would truly appreciate it! Thanks so much

Fido dear, I asked help from Greeks, not Geeks! That 1 letter sure does make a difference!

Thanks so far. Wish I knew how to type those foreign characters on my keyboard, they look so beautiful. The reason I'm trying to keep the word "Shot" in there is because it's a hunting camp. Alot of the hunters up here have signs on their camps that read "We shoot every third trespasser. The second one just left. So come back with a Bud!",(meaning Budweiser, not buddy). I wanted something a bit friendlier than that since the Greeks are noted for giving, not asking. Hope that clarifies what I'm trying to say.

Oops, I left out Jack It should read come back with a Bud and Jack (as in Jack Daniels). If you can do shots of Jack Daniels, can't you do a shot of Ouzo?

Dear John (no, it's not that kind of a Dear John letter). Thank you. I'm gonna trust you on this one because I haven't a clue what you wrote down there! But it looks very much like the stuff that's in the Greek newspapers they bring up with them! All I know is originally they are from a small village in Greece that means eight (Octo something). That's how many people were left in the village I think, after the war. If I had a map I could point it out. So I'm sure they're familiar with formal Greek. Thanks so much! You didn't say anything that'll get me in trouble now, did you? Ha Ha! Thanks.
