@achewood The bus is crossing Klickitat St., home of Ramona Quimby. It's pretty swank these days. No sign of Nosmo King.

Japanese Textbook on Adult Subjects
« on: February 09, 2005, 04:34:29 pm »
This textbook is used to teach the Japanese the "proper" (tongue-in-cheek) ways to handle adult subjects in English. Let's just say there's something a little bit... shall we say, missing in the translation:

I suck at the internet

Although now I know how to write "If you leave me, I'll kill myself!" in Kanji.

By the way, that picture is awesome for an avatar.

Just the other day I was talking about purse pussy and octopus pussy. I was talking about it a lot. My friends and co-workers were weeping with delight.

This is not the first time Bobby has caused me to deploy adblock on an image of his.  I trust it will also not be the last.

What Asherdan said. At work, anyway.

Now I want to write a careful formal Japanese essay about "asleep style." This could be nearly as bad as the time I attempted to explain to my Japanese professor a fairly lame bio-department pun about "because sex cells."

Yeah, I saw this on metafilter.
The astounding part is that it's really coherent, syntaxically, so there is no way to explain any of this away as zany mistranslation.

I think the Japanese invented asleep style, as well as rape style, bukkake style, giant anime ***** style, bathroom style, used panties from vending machines style ...

Onstad, if you are reading this, I will commission you to make a painting of Phillipe and Ultra Peanut in this pose.

Much better.

And yes, the avatar limits apply to everyone.  One of these days I will install that plug-in that automatically limits the avatar size...

Yet, what is the limit? Is it the 80 x 80 pixel that the UBB says? Because yours is 64 x 97 ;)

I'll probably make it 100x100px.  The width matters more than the height.  This is true of most things.
