"All-New" North Korea is Best Korea!

[Russell]

McMaster starting to talk about preventive war against Best Korea...

[matsuki]

Two recent ICBM launches by North Korea prompted a call for action by many UN members.
With 15 votes in favor, Resolution 2371 was passed unanimously.
The resolution targets North Korea's primary exports, including coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood. The sanctions also target other revenue streams, such as banks and joint ventures with foreign companies.
The sanctions will slash North Korea's annual export revenue of $3 billion by more than a third, according to a statement from Haley's office.
The resolution represents "the strongest sanctions ever imposed in response to a ballistic missile test," the statement said.

Na, na, na, na, naaa, Lit’l Kim misses again.

North Korea launches missile over Japan
CNN Updated 8:18 Am, September 15, 2017
---First missile launch since September 3 nuclear test
---Alert warnings set off in northern Japan
(CNN)North Korea has fired a ballistic missile over northern Japan for the second time in less than a month, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Friday.
The unidentified ballistic missile was launched from the district of Sunan in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, home to the country's main airport, the South Korean military said.
The missile flew about 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) and reached an altitude of 770 kilometers (480) miles. It landed in the Pacific Ocean, South Korea said.
The US Pacific Command said its initial assessment indicated that North Korea had fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile. There were conflicting reports from Japan on the type of missile fired, though the government stressed that analysis was ongoing.

Hmm, yesterday Kim said that he will sink Japan, so it could get a little wet around here one of these days. I have already cleaned my wellies, as I want to die in beauty.

[Coligny]

I DON'T WANT TO DIE A VIRGIN !!!!!


(Sumbody... help !)

Also... I don't want to die until Apple fix the fucking text selection clusterfuck on the IPhone..

[Grumpy Gramps]

I think, Kim will do things in his own sweet time, so you might have a few hours left to lose you hymen. Go for it, it's not that hard, we all went through this a few times in our lives. And please report back, how it went.

With Apple, though, it's much harder. Aren't they just about to be launching their 8th or 9th fruitile attempt to make a phone that actually works? Don't hold your breath.

The Korean original statement said "늙다리 미치광이," literally meaning 'old beast lunatic' which was translated into "dotard."

Frack, I was one of those who searched for this word...

Earlier in the week, Best Korea compared Trump's speech to the "twitching of a dog licking its flea-riddled scrotum". How colorful, that language. Methinks they deserve the IgNoble Literature Prize for this.

As an aside, I've never seen the twitching of a dog licking its flea-riddled scrotum, but apparently many Best Koreans are familiar with it. Any guesses how this looks like?

Probably when it does the clenched teeth nibble thing

As a dotard I know

[Mike Oxlong]

I first came across the word here, as it seems to be a forum fav. search.php?keywords=dotard

[Wage Slave]

Yep. Only other place I have seen it is courtesy of Tacky on here. When it comes to pejoratives of all kinds he's done his language acquisition. It sounds pretty archaic and medical to me but perhaps has been revived some by the popularity of retard as used outside a medical context.

North Korea often seems to deploy a sort of oddly not quite right Colonel Blimp style Victorian English in it's translations. I think they just got lucky with this one.

[Russell]

Could it be that Kim Jong Un is posting here incognito as Takechan?!?

[matsuki]

Any of you getting concerned? Nukes launched or not, things don't look good for Kim internally and these escalating threats aren't helping him externally...what comes after Kim?

I find it kind of worrying that Kim wants to explode a hydrogen bomb in or over the Pacific. The only way he can deliver it there is through the air space over Japan. Just imagine if something goes wrong and the missile comes down early...

Maybe he reads books, English literature is replete with dotards

Chaucer

For certainly, old dotard, by your leave,
You shall have cunt all right enough at eve.

Donne

I come not to call pity from your heart,
Like some white-liver’d dotard that would part
Else from his slippery soul with a faint groan,

Pope

The throne a bigot keep, a genius quit,*
Faithless thro' piety, and dup'd thro' wit?
Europe a woman, child, or dotard rule,
And just her wisest monarch made a fool?

Wordsworth

Of life's uneasy game the stake,
Playthings that keep the eyes awake
Of drowsy, dotard Time;--
O care! O guilt!--O vales and plains,
Here, 'mid his own unvexed domains,
A Genius dwells, that can subdue
At once all memory of You,--

Tolkien

'But I say to thee, Gandalf Mithrandir, I will not be thy tool! I am Steward of the House of Anárion. I will not step down to be the dotard chamberlain of an upstart. Even were his claim proved to me, still he comes but of the line of Isildur. I will not bow to such a one, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship and dignity.'

Recent history shows things don't end well for deposed dictators

[Grumpy Gramps]

Not too many English books on my kindle atm, so I had to google, too.

And tomorrow is the planet X apocalypse anyway, so we can worry about Kim's H-bomb later.

[Takechanpoo]

its because both upper korea and down korea just shamelessly translated the whole of the english-japanese and japanese-english dictionaries compiled with long-time difficulty by japanese scholars into their e-k and k-e dictionaries without any single permission from j-side and they pretend to originally compile those dictionaries by themselves. its the exact same with their other european language dictionaries.

All contemporary stuff eh? OK, so an archaic medical/literary term as beloved of dictionary compilers in this part of the world and North Korean translators that somehow resonates. I still think they just got lucky rather than were clever.

You must have read The Lord of the Rings, or at least watched the movie

Bernard Hill as Theoden, best portrayal in the whole series in my opinion, also brilliant as Yosser Hughes in the boys from the Blackstuff

[Wage Slave]

Read it when I was about 17. Haven't seen the movie. Although it was written fairly recently (between 1937 and 1954) I wouldn't describe the writing style as contemporary. - more deliberately archaic. And dotard is, if not archaic, pretty close to it. As non pejorative it is even more archiac.

Generally experts say that the best sign something serious is going to happen in Korea (rather than yammering and posturing) is when families and non-critical personal are pulled out.

Voice of America's Asia Bureau editor/reporter, Steve Herman, (@W7VOA Oct 21) is reporting:

Tonight's Nelson Report (a reputable newsletter on NE Asia): Removing personal assets from #ROK now advisable, say sr. admin. officials.
