Lost in Translation

From when I was in Japan, there were definitely some bad translations around...but I have to imagine that by now, this has become enough of a bad internet meme, that many of these engrish's are photoshops.

My favorite Korean one was Dong Bang Express bus.

Then there was the CostCo selling Hot dog and cok, and the innumerable bars selling Jack Cok.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Oh kharma. Fresh off laughing at the Chinese and their poor English I just got a confused email back from someone I'm trying to buy a fridge from.
Turns out I typed not 冷蔵庫, reizouku, a fridge. But 隷属, reizoku, slavery. I want to collect his slaves...

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I had a third of a molar crack off once, so I feel ya. Jaw clenching is not the best stress reliever lol
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Mine was at work. Heard a pop and felt the loose tooth piece. Didn't hurt surprisingly, even though the dentin (I think that's the term) was exposed. Dentist said I was lucky not to need a root canal.

Hmm, seems like they're actually building that bridge to Germany. Lovely.

Next part of the "Brits are stupid because they don`t do stuff like Hungarians" series is: salami.

WTF your supermarkets are selling German and Italian stuff which although acceptable, would barely register on the low end in Hungarian supermarkets. Y U NO EATING PROPER SALAMI!

Tamas, you really need to be doing an AAR or at the very least a thread, about your experiences of coming to the big city.   :D

Punch the guy from Sam Adams in the nuts. Hate their commercials.

Punching takei in the nuts is a hate crime.

I don't care if he has a creepy voice, Jim Koch rules.  And he's a local boy.
