    I make a bet that tofu gives you cancer

  2. pony boy says:

    ok, someone give us the actual translation, STAT! Because I can’t even begin to figure this out…

  3. Anarnomoose says:

    I hate to be one of those that explains things… cause it’s not funny any more. So, I won’t explain it. Cause I don’t know.

    I wonder if cancer is being used as “crab” like waaaay back in the picture of the crab on the subway or train… or whatever it was.

    So… I don’t know… “I’ll make a bed of dry bean curds filling of the crab”? Maybe he’s putting beans in crabs? I’m probably waaay off here.

    Damn! I attempted an explanation anyway, didn’t I?

    • Grrr Power says:

      Is it one of those signs that deaf people wear when they come around to your house selling stuff?
      Obviously, in this case, he is not a mere seller of greetings cards or artwork, but a qualified chef of some experience… :-/

  4. wyldkard says:

    I’m gonna take a guess of crab on a BED of tofu

  5. Someone says:

    So, if I understand correctly, cancer tumors are basically dried bean curds?

  6. JohnB says:

    My money says the cancer can grow faster than you can stuff dried bean curds in it, but I’d like to see the bean-curd-stuffer first, if possible. You’ve got to watch a horse’s demeanor before you make your pick. I live in Kentucky, land of the Derby, and so I’ve seen a few horse races.

    • dr handle says:

      Don’t let the stewards find out – they’ll scratch your crab from the race if they find out you’ve been doping it with dried bean curds. It’s blatant abuse of performance-enhancing substances that’s ruining the once proud sport of crab racing. That said, I’m hoping to become a qualified crab urine sample collector and tester – it’s tricker than it looks, but the pay is really good once you get your ticket.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      How does it go- de meaner de horse, de faster it runs?

    • buckinarut says:

      Duz that possibly mean that “Filling of the Cancer” is the name of the horse in the race? I’ve heard worse. Horse names always sound Engrish to me.

      Do the 3 dots on the chart mean 5-3 odds? Or “Win/Place/Show”? I make bet of dried bean curds then, too!

      Are bean curds to become our currency once the dollar dies of cancer? Prognosis, from what I hear, ain’t good.

  7. Joe says:

    五目飛竜頭の湯葉あんかけ

    • JohnB says:

      Well, I ran that through Babel Fish and I got, “Five items fly 竜 の Tang Yeあ ん か け,” whether I used Chinese-traditional or Chinese-simple. So wtf?

      • Jennifer says:

        My Japanese translator on Google says
        Plan only if the bean curd skin飛竜頭五目

        The Chinese translator says
        Five Dragon first flight leaves soupあんのかけ

        • JohnB says:

          No wonder we get so much Engrish to LOL around with!!! Let’s put them together as, “Plan only if the Five Dragon leaves the bean curd skin soup at first flight.” Those first few pictograms apparently have Babel Fish stumped!

          • Jennifer says:

            Joe’s avatar is quite appropriate here…
            Challenging with the furrowed brows, and haughty with a half-suppressed smirk…daring us all to figure out the meaning of his message :)

            • Joe says:

              I usually find rikaichan is best for finding the true japanese translation. You can see the component words yourself… mixture…. filhos (a type of Portugese Dessert)… sheet of dried tofu…. thick starchy sauce with kuzu or katakuriko flour. I speak a little Japanese, but I’m not familiar with any of these words. It’s basically a list of ingredients in the dish.

        • L0st says:

          Five Dragon first flight leaves soup

          now thats what i call good soup!!!

          • JohnB says:

            If Five Dragon left it so hastily, I’d think it’s a soup you’d want to stay away from!!! Run, run, run!!! The soup is coming! The soup is coming!

      • Tantt says:

        It’s japanese

      • dr handle says:

        Fring items now?

  8. Mark. Gooley says:

    Okay, in German they use Krebs to mean both crabs and cancer; someone once URL’d me an automatically-translated version of a web page about Germans going to the US and eating at restaurants specializing in crab, and it was all about eating freshly-steamed cancers and so on. So it’s probably crab and dried tofu in some combination. I hope it’s not just crab shells filled with tofu, or tofu with crab-flavor surimi. And how come Crab Rangoon at Chinese buffets generally hasn’t crab in it, usually not even surimi?

  9. Hebime says:

    Its the name of a dish.
    Mixed fried tofu and vegetables with yuba(tofu skin) with a thick Chinese style sauce.
    The dots underneath are allergy warnings.
    It contains eggs, milk, and wheat.

    But no cancer.

    • Mark. Gooley says:

      So, no crab in this dish? So what does “cancer” refer to? Does it have anything to do with the dish at all?

  10. dr handle says:

    When we were kids, we played cards for matchsticks. Never thought of using dried bean curds as a form of currency.

  11. I'm the chief says:

    cancer in Las Vegans

  12. PointsOutTheObvious says:

    Tofu for Cancers ONLY! All you Virgos better STAY OUT! Same to you Pices!

  13. Duffy says:

    You are what you eat?

  14. lero says:

    Teu cu em chamas
    Os bombeiros de greve

  15. lero says:

    Your ass in flames
    The fireman in vacations

  16. earthlingmike says:

    Betting on whether someone will survive cancer, with dried bean curds? That’s not cool.
