Engrish

Time: 7:52pm
Mood: Happy (I just laffed my ass off for 15 min straight.. you'll find out why soon)
Song of the moment: The Killers - Mr. Brightside

This morning, as I was preparing for school I found a card that Rita had sent to me a while back. On the front of the card read:

Comfortable
Just for you
Love is a nature's way of giving a reason to be living
my heart is gladder than all these because... my love is come to me...

There's a picture of a cake on a plate. If this didn't make any sense to you, try reading this after a night of drinking! That's exactly what had happened when I first got this card.. I came back home after getting pretty tanked, read this and thought "This makes no sense.. oh it's probably because I'm drunk". But when I read it the next morning.. I realized.. it was Engrish.

So what is Engrish? It's when asian countries attempt to translate their language into english phrases, with MAJOR grammerical or spelling errors. The above is a prime example of what I'm talking about. So today, I happened to come across this website FULL of Engrish stuff. www.engrish.com. This page has had me laughing so hard, I almost peed my pants. I even found a picture of a sign I saw in Taiwan. Brought back memories... :D.
