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!

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??
