Not all manglish is foreign born.

Natural flavor with other natural flavor? Thanks for clearing that up. “Um, we got some of this, and a little of that…”

And here I find it funny that a synonym of archness is waggishness.

No trucks and absolutely no amorphous blobs.

What the hell do they do, cast spells?

When your thesaurus leads you astray - it’s a gift wrapping kiosk, I think. Gift can have many denotations. Didn’t they make it past the first one in the dictionary? The girl looked at me funny when i gave her a can of soup and threw some change in her tea.

I think he prefers to be called, “Pooh.” But this zoom-in is even better:

Yes, we play together good, I guess. As long as you’re multifunctional intelligent.

if we don’t like it, you’ll recoil in horror? And wait, I still don’t even know what your product IS.

What’s a fashion weel?

yeah, my doctor sighed when I bought my mountain bike, too.

Christmas Even with a twist. Flamboyance! Mrs Claus has no idea, does she?

I told you not to trust those shifty goddamned legos.

Mommy Mommy tell me again about the Likability Fish in Seabed World! Pleeeease?!?!

in other words, “get me the hell out of here!”

Cool fashion need cool taste! Amen.

wait - I’m going to breed my hair? you mean like “put it out to stud?”

is this how he does all of his own stunts?

“Hey nice haircut phyllis - where do you get it done?”
“Oh, you know, down at the four eye hair porch!”

God I love Manglish - and there’s no one in the WORLD more qualified to sniff it out - I gathered all of this on ONE DAY along with a hundred more. One excursion with a camera. Combine a Boggle obsession with latent Aspberger’s and a Jesuit Education and you get me, a freak. I’m sitting on TONS more from the last month, too - stay tuned, and have a Merry Chirstmas!

You are the king! Don’t ever stop. Also, do you mean latent Asperger’s?

hells yes i meant latent - thank you Philip! it’s been a rough month for me, as I’ll write about soon. My English took a hit, and so did my health - China is polluted as hell this time of year. Clear blue skies and shit brown horizons. The sunset looks like a CrunchBerry. And I couldn’t stop coughing. blah blah blah - new year means clean slate - be well and happy new year!

The first pic reminded me of some South Beach Diet Peanut Butter cookies I bought a few months ago. I was sitting in front of my computer, staring at the monitor and feeling down so I was shoveling cookie after cookie down my maw. Finally, I look down and on the package it gives a warning: Excessive consumption may cause laxitive effect.
For one full second I stared at the message, not comprehending what it meant. Then I started laughing, hard. Then I remembered I was feeling bad. Should I cry? So I decided to eat the last two cookies since I knew I was screwed anyways.
Later that day I told my friend what happened. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
