We also have "Veal Prune"

I was a little shocked when I got this ice-cream at Paul and Maki's after-wedding party. Then I realized, of course, that Rum, lamb, ram and Lum (the cartoon character) are all pronounced the same and voila!

*moan*

I Put a Spell on You!

Be careful of those Sand Witches; especially the ones from Denmark, they're vicious!

Lunchtime!

It's pretty standard Engrish to the right, but what caught my eye was the Lube Sheep to the left. Sounds like a horrible perversion of nature... and is it just me, or do you read that copyright as "Putrifresh" the first time??

Modest Cookies

Of course, this makes perfect sense.

Chatty Checker

I recently got a lot of lovely farewell gifts, some of them sporting funky Engrish, but I thought this bag was the funniest of the lot. This check-out guy needs to lay off the speed!

Have we met before?

Of course we have, you old Familiar Pocket you! Nuzzling my fingers into your warm recesses ...ooh! This gem is on the way home from Flower Town. It's a personal favourite of Ms. Bec and I.

Hello to you too, jerkface!

One of our students brought in these awesome cups yesterday. They all have different designs with gramatically correct but bizarre or rude English on them. This one was my favorite.

This flavour just stays and stays and stays...

Comin' at you straight outta Canada! I notice they also serve "Desert". Do you suppose it's more of a Sahara or Gobi dish?

Best! Mascot! Ever!

No funny Engrish/Nihonglish on this one, but I just thought this gay barber was the funniest mascot I ever saw. You can see him in person if you walk up the hill from the center of Sanda to Flower Town.

Worst. Mascot. Ever.

Yeah yeah, no weird English here but, sweet jeezus! Bec and I have been fascinated by these Mer-pandas with their unholy lips and weird beer-holding arms... available at our local 7-11. I finally broke down and bought a package of this insanely bizarre snack. And here is a picture, so countless generations-to-come may know the Legend of the Genetically Freakish Panda Things. Gah.

Corny post ahead!

Why would you name your shop "Corn"? Unless it specializes in the aforementioned vegetable, and is not say..... a hip men's shoe store.

What Flavor is Your Sanity?

Mine is Cool Mint!

Seriously though, if you were going to choose a flavor for your sanity to be, 'Cool Mint' would be a good choice; definitely better than say, 'Brussel Sprouts' or 'Flan'.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall...

Why do you suck??

An Oldie, But a Goodie

I posted this on my blog a good while ago, but it seems appropriate to Let's signing and I don't have anything new to post, so I give you: Stealth Grapefruit REDUX!!!!!

いらっしゃいませ!

Welcome to "Let's Signing", a blog created basically to house various photos of signage around Japan. No, not just strange English, but anything that tickles our fancy. Lets kick things off with a personal favourite, from a vending machine in the fine city of Takarazuka.
