Engrish Makes Life Worth Living

If you haven't been to www.engrish.com, you really should go there. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that there is some lesson we can learn about the thought processes of the inscrutable Japanese mind by reading and pondering their takes on the English language (most of which are probably a damn sight better than what most Americans would come up with trying to use the Japanese language intelligibly).

We read engrish.com at work all the time. They now have a store!!

My shift is thinking of getting the "I hate myself and I want to die" tee shirts. Bright cheery red in color, with a lovely rainbow decoration.

It's one of my favorite sites.

Mentioned Engrish in another thread here a while ago. "Showing the vaginal area" is still my favorite.

Well, okay...but what has that got to do with Engrish?

Oh, wait...I see someone else has already made a lascivious remark about your comment...I withdraw my innuendo and apologize!
