Gee, thanks, Pythagoras! What a feat of arithmetic wonder. Gosh, if you hadn't spelled that out, I'd have had to go back and fetch my abacus. Also worth noting, and I'll elaborate at some point - notice the number 168. That is a very lucky number to the Chinese, because "one six eight" is a homophone for "be rich from here on out." Also lucky are 8, 18, 1818, 38, etc. I would bet that most numbered domains (eg 168.com, 163.net, 1818.com) are registered to Chinese companies or people for this reason. Sometimes people insist on paying **MORE** just so the number equals something lucky. This is the most fascinating battle between the two most visible Chinese traits: Pragmatism vs the Quest for Luck.
Vegetarian Goose?
ALL geese are vegetarians, right? Bring me a Carnivorous Goose and you'll have my business. And I think I'll skip ANYTHING at a Chinese restaurant with the word "BARK" in it. Do they also put cow in "MOO" shu pork? Now I wonder. And I think I'll have some PAWNS with my salad sauce. No, better make that a ROOK. I'm watching my figure.
This is what happens when you have one thing to say, but a lot of space to fill. Repetition is the mother of redundancy's son.
I was ready to make fun of this but as part of my "due-diligence" I figured I'd check to
make sure. "haslet, n.: The heart, liver, and other edible viscera of an animal, especially hog viscera." Will someone please make the Chinese translating dictionaries LESS specific? At least for us ignant yanks.
VERY VERY different from the last time I ran into a "Leather Nurse."
What is that person massaging? and is that their BRAIN? This "sign" belongs on the fridge at a school for special kids, not as part of a sidewalk marketing campaign. I love how they tried to get specific with the bones of the foot, then drew an amorphous blob for the person. R E L A X.
Quite possibly the best window display of all time. Not only do you have the flaccid gloves drawing people in, you have the huge, glaring signs insisting there are NO DEPENDS WITHIN. One with the cross mark OVER the name, one behind, just so no one is left out. But the best part is the URINE SAMPLE in the bottom of the window. How much does THAT go for?
How much for a treament again? Screw that, I'll just get the PARTY HAIRDO!
Hey man can I borrow your STICK for a minute?
Walking and shopping are happy by a vivid Manglish product.
Wishs you luck repeating remedial English.
Found in the Castro district. On the left "We all have HIV." On the right, "Christianity is the real sin - Stop the Churh." I'd agree with them, except I have no idea what a churh is.
