Salad Express

I remember Dad loved the "Salad Express" so when I saw it this week in Osaka I made sure to snap a pic!

Orgasm

This is one from a while ago that I'm just getting around to posting. The funniest thing is it was worn by my student who is very demure and was shocked to find out what it meant.

Pregnantwoman

You'd better watch out pregnantwoman has gotten on and she's about to start giving birth to little hearts all over the place!

The Adversity

I love the definite article here.

Baby Timothy Leary

I was tickled to see this slogan on some baby underwear and I thought I'd share it with all of you.

A Hungry Man is an Angry Man

A cute t-shirt we saw at the mall this weekend. It was on sale for ¥280 (about $3.00) so I got one in blue for Rin.

Grin Like a Shot Fox

Found this great t-shirt at AEON

All Kneel Before the Highway Baron!

We saw this bus in Sannomiya a few weeks ago and I thought the text was just so high-flown and hilarious I had to take a pic. The driver kind of looked at me funny, though!

That feels so good...

I want another massage, and another, and another, and another....

I feel so lucky!

I saw this can in the vending machine in the bowling alley when we went bowling with Alex and I knew I had to have it! I think the best part is thye "with kira kira sparkle". What exactly is "kira kira sparkle", and what will it do when I drink it? It sounds like I might gain some kind of super-powers.

"Kira-kira Sparkle Beam: Activate!!!!"

I was convuled with raughter...

...when I saw this t-shirt. Nathan tacked these phrases up on our 'weird English' board at Okaba back in the day, and I always found them hilarious. Then, Lo and behold this Friday my student Yuriko came to class wearing this exact T-shirt! I was overjoyed!

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?
