I did a search before posting - really I did. But HanziSmatter search returned no posts. Should have realised that Taro would beat me to it.

But topics now merged... :oops:

Can you imagine reading something while "hitting it" from the back?

Too weird.

Shucks. Get some AND go to bed with a good book.

Oh the possibilities. And there would be no complaints of "you came too soon".

Is that a complaint you hear often?

I've honestly never heard that one. I was thinking of that Richard Pryor skit.

IHT: Body art with botched messages
LOS ANGELES Shad Magness wanted to celebrate the love he felt for his young son with a grand gesture. At a Los Angeles tattoo parlor four years ago, he had two Chinese characters etched in a prominent spot on his left forearm. He assumed that the translation in the sample book the tattoo artist showed him - "one love" - was correct. The first sign of trouble came six months later, when Magness was shopping at a Staples office supply store and the checkout clerk informed him that the characters on his arm meant not "one love" but "love hurts"...more...

That's what I'm talking about! What a great job blending the tats from Tochigi hiragana into a red fire barfing rat or whatever that is (Notice I was extremely careful not to say a GAY rat)!

I wonder who is responsible?

i think it's freaking hilarious, personally :rofl:

it's just as amusing as the kanji i see splattered around on tshirts, hats, bumper stickers etc. almost none of them have a translation so the poor suckers who buy em have no idea what they're fancy shmancy cool kanji says, which is usually something embarassing, nonsensical, or stupid

that being said, i do have one tshirt with kanji on it, from jlist so at least i know what it says: Sake-bito

The sonno joi shirt would probably be more appropriate for FG. Too bad it's so ugly.

It only translates properly for the manniquin and my girl friend. She's a 38-d cup when she wears a tee shirt. When she gets home and hangs it on the chair at night and puffs her chest out as far as she can get it, she's a hard pushed 32-b, if she can even make that. The translation fits perfectly.
