I have been fortunate enough to receive many wonderful gifts from kind people over the years, and I usually don’t blog about them because I don’t want to turn their kindness into a public spectacle. But I got a t-shirt I’ve been wanting for a long time today:
Before you’re too horrified, this shirt was seen in Japan and documented by Engrish.com, a site that finds mangled English text in Japan. Much like many of the Asian tattoos that Americans get, Japanese people sometimes like products with American text on them even though they can’t read what it says, so sometimes manufacturers don’t really research or care what it says, as long as it looks cool. (Incidentally, most Japanese can probably read more English than most Americans can read Japanese, I’m just saying!) So anyway, someone saw a person wearing this shirt in Japan who had no idea what it said, and the idea of that was absolutely hilarious to me. And now I have it! Thanks, MM! Leave a Comment Comments
Engrish… that’s the language George W. Bush speaks!

I am so excited to see the picture of you wearing this! Now my daughter wants one too! She says she wants to wear it into her counselor's office at school..... Anyway, she loves you just as much as I do! Thanks for sharing the pix with us! Many happy returns and I can't wait to see the next episode of TLS....we are hooked and want to see as much of you as we can....you're so cute and sweet, I can't imagine anyone not being totally taken with you! Poor boys! Hugs, MM

I love it! Especially the hearts. Such hilarious contrast and SO much funnier than those tees you see at Target...

Sorry Calpernia, I hate that shirt. Many people do hate themselve and want to die. My mother was such a person. So throw away that shirt , burn it.
For the rest you have a good site and your a lovely woman. Sure mr right will come to you. on 03/12 at 08:04 PM
You are sooo funny! I saw a girl wearing this when I was in Japan a few years ago and I remember we couldn't stop laughing! The poor girl that was wearing it could figure out why we were laughing so hard either. I have to admit it is even funnier seeing it on someone that knows what it says!
