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!
