Sorry Folks, I have to keep this short - just a few tidbits from the archives. I had these posted in another area - intrepid readers may have seen them - if so, my apologies. If not, enjoy yourselves.

Why would you buy anything from a monopolist?

Well, we WOULD seat you, but there was this mixup at the bar, and, well, you have to eat on the floor.

A most controversial image. My travelling companion and I argued about this one over and over - In Malay it reads, “Restaurant 9-1-1.” And in Chinese, it says something like “delicious food center.” However, the “center” is the same as in the Chinese for “world trade center” and my friend CJ INSISTS that’s a plane slamming into NYC on the left. Considering this was less than a year after 9/11, I wasn’t sure he was entirely paranoid. If anyone’s in the area, it’s right across the street from the Batu Caves outside of Kuala Lumpur. Or at least, it was.

Screw it, all the good names are taken.

Can you? Can you stomach the chinese cuisine?

it seems I’ve posted this one before. Wait - you’re going to punish me? Im sorry - I was just walking dwn this sidewalk. Now i’m scared.

Um… OK.

The most appropriate manglish ever.

Sign translated Manglish ensued enjoyed.

God, I haven’t parapeted in, what, like eight years now?

I’m here to have my unit serviced?

Oh no you didn’t - I know you didn’t just tell ME to hush up!

“here we go, let me see - don’t…lean.. out… AAAAAAAAAAH!”

more soon folks, and thanks for keeping me honest. You know who you are.

    Jon, did you realize you are impacting society? My daughter used some things from your blog in a paper for school. She is in an honors class on Globalization at the university and referenced you in her final exam!
