Happiness of delivery

January 26, 2005

The woman and I have been getting delivery more often lately. We’re sick of Domino’s pizza so lately we’ve been trying other cuisines. Our latest gourmet meal on wheels is a place called Fanders. The food was alright but a little pricey. Two katsu bentos cost 2300 yen damnit. It wasn’t bad but the restaurant in the covered shopping area downstairs sells the same shit for a lot less.

Here’s a scan of the box. Can someone translate this into English for me?

    What a coincidence, I used to have a pencil case with that exact saying on it!

    Oh come on Justin, your pokemon pencil case never said that! It said, “Collect all! Buy all the pokemon! Very be the number one train pokemon man!”

    yeh, why people bother to add english is beyond me. You should read the package of taiwanese rice crackers we have lying around the house. “Digging into boring pie, getting out of boring time”. yeh. Enough said. I don’t see why they don’t hire English speakers to translate/create their slogans for them if that’s what they want.

    One reason that I’ve heard is that people are “proud” of their so called English. It’s something they can relate to somehow and they don’t really care if it’s right or wrong.

    I’m guessing it’s the same as morons who tattoo chinese characters on themselves when they don’t even know what it means.

    My friend once asked me, “Do Chinese people get english words tattooed on them?” I said we weren’t that stupid.

    Hahahahahaha

    Are tattoos even cool anymore?

  8. Michelle said:

    Tattoos are only cool to me…as long as they don’t say stuff like “White Power!!!” in chinese or anything…

    I’d fuckin laugh if some white dude just wrote the words “gwai lo” in chinese on his arm. Now *THAT* would be pretty fucking cool.

    Maybe some white dude would laugh if we put “chink” on our arms?
