Okay, here we go, here are some favorite ones I found in my travels in Japan, China, Malaysia, and Singapore:

IP_SEC

OMG leo that was great! alt

You took those yourself?

Yup, those are all my own pictures. I still have the Marvin Martian pencil container and the expansion rotary anti-spattering machine which we just had to buy. A few comments on some of these: "My goal in life is to be able to HAG my enemies". I'm sure if this is supposed to be HANG or SHAG. The manniquin is dressed up as a soldier with both a Communist star and a U.S. Amry pack that says "We were soldiers" (I guess the Stars and Stripes don't like them Commies in their forces). The television screen that says "For universal viewing, suitable for every level of society" (which is a rating system that preceded television shows in Malaysia) sounds just a tad Orwellian to me. Maybe otherwise some shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" are not suitable to some lower levels of society. The One Stop restuarant "most probably" serves the finest Indian food in Penang. They are not sure if they do, maybe someone else serves better food than them. "Love between mother and girl"... that was on a package of pantyhose. Nothing says "love between mother and girl" like a silky pair of pantyhose. And who knew that the scouring pad is great for cleaning joggers? Gotta scratch away all that grime and sweat!

I encounter engrish everyday, that I am at work. On a tank of water, on a heating element, it's warning reads, "Those with fear of fire do not touch! Very Hot!" Some of the fault codes, are still in broken engrish. Sometimes it is very hard to decipher on the machine faults that don't occur very often. Whenever anyone goes to Japan or we have visitors from there, they usually bring us a gift. Food and candy. I like Black Black gum. A very strong tasting licorice gum. Numbs your taste buds for awhile.

I ruv the transrated engrish. Especially the directions for gadgets etc. I had a CD player to install in a computer rong time ago and at the end of the troubleshooting section of the instructions was a message that read something like..."if player still to be not working please be more careful of next purchase." Can't argue with that logic.

I saw a japanese band on some tv show years back and they were singing the Beatles Eleanor Rigby in that distinctive japanese way. "Ahhhh, rook at ahhhhl da ronerey peephole..."

Just noticed the soldiers uniform and the canteen made me think that the army should update uniforms a bit. I'm guessing that a spongebob-squarepants canteen would be all the rage or at least a nice yellow happy face.

Sorry to butt in. I'll go away now.

You can make your own Engrish if you go to babelfish and translate from english to japanese and back to english again, it's fun. The more you run it through the translator the more absurd it becomes.

"Hello I am sacrificial loon and I am demonstrating the translation function."

Translating from english to japanese to english becomes: "Today as for me it is sacrifice loon, translation function has been shown."

2nd pass: "Loon of sacrifice, in regard to me who am translation function depending upon today it was shown."

3rd pass: "Loon of the sacrifice regarding me, AM translation functional that it is influenced by today was shown."
