I didn't either until I noticed the website mentioned on the photo.

It is humor found from finding English being used in an Asian community. Engrish.

There are other examples. Both there and in USA companies attempts to write in another language. Like the car that means no-go in Spanish or Portuguese or whichever language, country that was in.


Oh yes...The Chevy Nova. :p

Soji - great pics...fire - nice and cozy; food - yummy; kitties - very cute. Thank you. :)

And oddly, Rioko looks unfazed by the shishkebab thing...:p

Thank-you. Yes, looks unfazed.

Can't leave out the third kitty.

Birman. And named Soji.

The tabby with the bells on is the one I got from the pound and is like 20 now (or 17). The other tabby is a Scottish Fold. With straight ears.

You are beautiful... :)

May I elaborate...

in all the time I have lurked here your voice is the most calming presence around.

You are level-headed but most of all you are kind.

Thank you Kaimi

Wow...I've had a good time popping in and out lurking today. I just want to say again all y'all are a-ok in my book. :)


I'm knee deep in wrapping paper, my supper is in the oven, and my clothes are ironed for service tonight.

Thanks to all for the good wishes today. Midnight service here is always a mix of sombre and joyful. Tonight will be more so.

Oh and GRATS!!! on 7,000 Mo! (yay...an excuse for another hug! *hug*) :)

I couldn't agree more! When Kaimi speaks...it behooves all to listen. She is made of pure win.

I'm sorry about your friend, Jerry.

As I do some preperations for tomorrow's gathering here, and crack open a new bottle of Jameson's, I will share some of what I am listening to tonight on the Ole Victrola

BLEH!

I think I'm the only person who wouldnt mind working on Christmas Day! :)
I've done it. I didn't mind at all... heh heh double time pay.



From: Jerboa Haystack



This morning finds me in mixed emotions. I recieved sad news this morning. I play in a band on Sundays. Last evening, our sound engineer lost his fight with cancer. It wasn't completely unexpected, but he was expected to make it through the holidays.
[/url]I'm so sorry to hear this. *Hug*



From: Lexxi Gynoid
I will also have a smaller Christmas gathering. It will consist of myself and . . . myself.
Let's hope you don't get talking politics and start a fight with yourself.

Every time I see non Asian looking people with Asian characters tattooed on their bodies I wonder if it really says what they think it says...
