these first three pics are from an English teacher in beijing, who mentioned these in the comments here, but didn’t leave an email address. I hope she doesn’t mind - they were too good to not share with the rest of the class.
and in keeping with that spirit - the perfect pants to match - get in, get out, no one gets hurt. Except maybe your shoes. Or the storm drain. Or anyone behind you. Or downwind of you.
This next one sounds like random words thrown out in a game of Super Password. “Um… is it ODouls?”
Hi there Safeway checker. You were nice to me, so I’ll lay off. But your tattoo is off, babe. Like a capital A with the crossbar missing. Get your money back, or have it filled in, cause it’s driving me nuts.
okay, if your job is to sell something, one of your first notes to self should be, “How do I spell that?”
wait - I thought YOU were making it - no?
Kung Fu tournaments are very interesting events. Not only for the amateurish posturing and honest goodnatured competition, but also for the wide variety of adolescent tattoos. Classy tat, bro. I bet you drive an IROC.
courtesy of a reader - sorry for dropping the attribution - email me again if you care. It does have me salivating.
the above and below are from Tian over at Hanzi Smatter. We’re both exploring the mistakes of our adopted cultures. Well, for me it’s adopted. He straddles the fence. As does this soup. How is the Beef allofasudden Vegetarian?
Thank god - I was looking all over for the right version of Nyquil to fight “wind-cold evils.” I’m also tired of going, “Shit, Doc - my waist hurts like hell - can’t you give me something?” How do I know if my skin is purulent? update - once again, they’re using the BIG dictionary. Manglish teaches ME another lesson. Purulent, adj. - consisting of, containing, or discharging pus.
My sister’s quest to own one of each thing snoopy has ever appeared on uncovers these Asian pirates selling great “Snoppy” stuff on ebay. Oh, I’m sure that will totally save their asses from getting sued.
is this French for “of the asses?” Is it donkey-flavored?
Nothing says, “eat this” like the name of a bat-infested African nation.
Tell me you don’t see it. You know what i’m talking about. GOATSE!
ps, if you don’t know what that is, don’t go searching for it. Just trust me on that. Once seen, it can never be unseen, like Connie Chung singing on CNBC.

OMG!!! Goatse?!??!? I had finally removed that imagus horribilus from my mind, and here it is, a reference popping up on Rahoi, of all places.
Curses to you, Jon!!! May your sphincter stretch to Goatse-like proportions.

Priceless! All of them! These translations always keep me laughing. I found a few myself (Chinese to English…or, rather, manglish) that I’m hoping to post one of these days.
In defense of the Ghana bars: Ghana happens to have THE BEST cocoa in the world…sadly, they can’t export it to very many places…if they could, they would have WAY too much money and maybe the gov’t wouldn’t be in such turmoil all the time. Even if it IS bat infested
LOL
And, yes I know what GOATSE is (the therapy is going nicely, thanks) but I don’t see it…the ponytail perhaps?

oh…wait…now I see it…it’s the hands holdingopen the…ok, back to therapy for me…

Took me a minute to see it ’cause i don’t know what Goatse is. And as much as i like a challenge, i’ll trust you on that one and not satisfy my curiosity.
I’m also at work right now.

One gallon tomatoes? Shit, those are some big bastard tomatoes then.
7 Kaiser Sosa // Jul 30, 2006 at 6:03 am
Tomato is the correct english spelling.
8 jon // Jul 30, 2006 at 9:43 am
tomato is correct, but tomatos is not. Looks like Dan Quayle forgot the E.

-cringe-
And here I thought I would never have to think about that old man goatse that I saw.
-__-; To anyone who doesn’t know what it is; heed Jon’s warning. You /don’t/ want to know.
But, otherwise, I’ve gotten through all of 2006’s archives and this site is great. Laughed for 2.5 hours straight last night. My parents kept on telling me to shut up. xP;

OMG. I had never heard of goatse. Curiosity got the better of me. Looked on Google. Immediately wished I hadn’t. Thank you for leading me to a discovery I didn’t want to make.
Kudos for the rest of your images - I will send you some I have taken in Japan but nothing as good as the “cunt examination” one…hahah
