Saw two Engrish quotables today, right here in Sonoma, California.
1) Real Estate sign outside property reads: "For sale with owner". Geez! Could I get it cheaper if I buy it withOUT the owner? Do I HAVE to take the owner along with the rest of the deal? How expensive is the upkeep on that owner?
2) From local paper's on-the-street interview column, today's question, "What foods do you like to barbecue?" Answer nr. 3: "Ribs and oysers, along with some good company." Okaaaaayyy ... I like ribs and oysters, but I sure am glad I'm not invited to YOUR barbecue, buddy!

More Engrish, presumably from native speakers
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

I can't find the original Engrish thread... did it get pulled? I didn't get a chance to check it out.
MaryDon't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches
