My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Blame This Morning's Hilarity on Holly in Tennessee

I don't surf. I don't hang out on silly websites. Really! I work! I mind my own business!

Except when Holly sends me somewhere, because somehow she always knows exactly what's going to set me off. As she did this morning, when she sent me here, to Engrish.com. (There's an adult section of the site where you can see how The F-Word is a favorite of people around the world, with nary a care about its function in a sentence. Subject? No problem! Verb? Sure! Adjective? Why not!)

These two made me laugh until I had tears running down my cheeks, which I probably shouldn't tell you but should just keep to myself, lest I ruin your impression of me as someone very adult and sophisticated. You did think that, right? Of course you did.
 It was the part about using the pool as a mouse that set me off.
The Hurted Ass Man. What more can I say? (Nothing, because I'm about to fall out of my chair over here.)

I love the Hurted Ass Man! I like how he's being launched off the toilet. What in the world do you think they were thinking when they wrote "use the pool as a mouse"? I can't imagine anything that would translate to that!

All I can think of is "don't use the pool as a toilet," but how that translates to "mouse" is beyond me, since I'm severely mono-lingual-ish (I've got some Spanish, but that's about it).

This is a fun way to start a Monday after a long weekend! Translation programs are great and sometimes offer some wonderfully funny and odd things.
I've been enjoying catching up on your latest sewing projects.

I hold you in higest esteem for laughing out loud at these lovely translations. I especially like the powerful toilet. My husband and I were talking about fancy toilets last night and I don't him in no uncertain terns, never buy me a toilet that washes and dries!

The illustration for the toilet makes it look like some kind of fun ride! LOL
