Engrish Instructions

wolf · 10-21-2008, 10:11 AM

Buncha years ago, I had one of those toys, the little tiny rubbery things that you through into a glass of water and magically grow into a great big rubbery thing? This was probably the mid-80s or so, and they were new.

The instructions were all in terribly botched Engrish, but the one line that I remember (because I and my friends repeated it in unison for days) was "It is for the observation and amusement of the swelling."

Ok, get your screw driver ready and "Open the clock ..."

"Date: can be changed from 1st, January, 2000 to 31, Dec, 2099." ... and hopefully any date in-between.

"The alarm sound is 'beep'" O RLY
