(Washing instructions on duvet made in China. It's supposed to be machine washable.)

"law heat", exactly how hot is that?

placenta pickpocket

BEIJING, April 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Tom Cruise's fiancee Katie Holmes gave birth to a baby girl last night, expanding the Cruise family to three.

In a statement issued through Cruise's publicist, the couple said that they "joyously welcomed" the baby.

A publicist for the celebrity couple revealed that the baby is to be called Suri, a name her parents found in a book of baby names, meaning "princess" in Hebrew and "red rose" in Farsi. But it could also mean "pickpocket" in Japanese.

sexual cushion

trixie-puff-puff — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 17:07:26 GMT

This:

"As for insertion angle
The hole moves up and down, the tightening of the hole changes in tightening condition of both crotches of the man.
Please finish while it is the piston, the pushing, rolling and the thinking."

Is a translation from this site:

Happy Valentine's Day in hysterically mistranslated Chinese

http://www.boingboing.net/2005/02/14/happy_valentines_day.html

This edible Valentines' Day treat is wrapped in bright foil stamped with exotic Asian characters for extra-sexy flair. Its giver probably does not know what those characters really mean. Tian says:
"[W]hen I first saw this... I was stunned and speechless. It literally means "crazy diarrhea" in both Chinese Hanzi and Japanese Kanji."

wacky korean stuff

Thu, 27 May 2004 01:16:46 GMT

I added 5 new pics to page 4. (I'm new here, BTW. Hi!)

They are actually Korean items, but still entertaining. Most interesting, I think, is the dark, unhappy poem on the bright "Happy Wedding" album.

(These were gifts from my friend Andy.)

What can I say?

trixie-puff-puff — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 20:11:18 GMT

This stuff cracks me up. Inspired by Jillana, who treats her guests to an afternoon in LA's Japan Town Mall, where many pee their pants.

I don't even have any right now--I'll have to make a special trip to my local Japanese Mall, but that's a worthwhile mission.

Most memorable from my fondly remembered (1st) afternoon with Jillana in JapanTown, is a tea towel, in packaging that labeled it as: "Towel Fukin" I bought one for my boyfriend.

insurance

trixie-puff-puff — Sun, 15 Feb 2004 04:30:20 GMT

on a stroll through chinatown, I saw a sign for:

"HangOn" Insurance & Securities. Maybe it's not a translation and it's intended to be "catchy," but either way it was funny to me.

Try your hand out on this Japanese puzzle I ran across on the net. This does have something to do with Tribe, the translations are form Japanese to English and they are slightly wacky. Solve the puzzle and join the short list of us (including myself) who have solved the puzzle.
