A trifle is a kind of pudding made with layers of liqueur-soaked sponge cake, fruit, jelly (jello), custard and whipped cream.
Are we all eclair on that?
This pudding is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late pudding. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace.
This sounds like a Woody Allen riff: Superman has Kryptonite. I_Am_Iron_Man has milk allergies and lactose intolerance. “His enemies killed him with a milk shake, ranch dressing fries, a double cheese burger, and 4 cheese burrito with sour cream.”
If this be the truth, or, excuse me, the Truth, does that mean Bill Cosby was the second coming? He kept preaching about that Jello Pudding, and even suffered the little children while he did it. I’ll never look at a Jello Pudding Pop the same again… maybe I’ll wear a little gold one around my neck, to commemorate seeing the Light, or the Chocolate, or whatever.
Actually, it’s not really Engrish in the usual sense of the word….
“No (fill in the blank), No Life” is apparently a common meme for a slogan in Asia.
Among other things, it’s appeared as song titles, etc. (example, “No Rock, No Life” by Honey Bee, the closing song from the anime Sumomo Momomo, about 2 years ago). So, it makes me think of a J-Rock song.
Still, it IS funny with the caption referencing “The Wall”….
On a similar note:
“Without music, life would be a mistake” – Friedrich Nietzsche
At first, the slogan “No (fill in the blank), No Life” sounded a bit Zen or Mahayana to me, so I can understand why it may permeate throughout Asia. Problem is, though, is that as I understand it, in order to live life, one needs nothing, earthly things are ephemeral and lead you astray from the spiritual path instead of farther along toward Nirvana. Therefore, a life that needs some thing to be full or complete and is incomplete without it would be rather materialistic, and no better than all the Westerners who want stuff, need stuff, feel that who dies with the most stuff wins(!).
Here I am in a forum where I’m s’posed to be snarky and just a wee little bit funny and I’m getting all serious and thinking in depth, I guess partly in response to part of the seriousness of your tone, though my take on Buddhism might be considered superficial, oversimplified, simple-minded, half-assed, or snarky… I’m used to a rough crowd.
All this thinking reminds me of Yosemite Sam in a cartoon where he says, “I’m a-thinkin’! And muh head hurts!” I’ve always been more Warner Brothers than Anime.
Instead of pudding or meat, I’d rather be comfortably numb. With the Jimmy Reed song playin’ in muh head.
…and smoke it?
I’m not sure if smoking pudding would work….or have any benefit…but there’s only one way to find out! *hits the pudding* *coughs* MMMM….chocolate flavor LOL.
Of course, the actual article is always more satisfying than just reading about it. Applies not just to pudding. And you’re right, about the impotent pudding; there’s nothing quite as sad as a Yorkshire pudding gone all limp and floppy and fallen in, it’s much more impressive when it’s just come out of the oven, and it’s all puffed up and rampant, ooooh, just thinking about it makes me want to grab the meat and start eating…
Boring into pudding would certainly be boring. So if you spend your life boring pudding, I’m sure your life would be boring. Try drilling into an ice cream cake for a change.
Really, you need a second bowling bag for your shoes. The shoes will smell like cheese and the cheese will smell like old bowling shoes. (win-win? fail-fail?)
There comes a time when you need someone with a chain saw, drain snake, portable generator, volt meter, network analyzer, sawzall, assorted welders, car jack, engine hoist, tools, animal trimmers, and/or network analyzer and know how to use them. I am the guy that can look and honestly say “The drive motor’s 3 phase variable frequency inverter has smoked an H-driver.” (Maytag Neptune) and fix it with one part (driver board @$180). I have learned to smile and receive hyperbolic gratitude from others graciously and professionally. Every time another woman tries to get close to Superman it causes big trouble for both of them and I have my Lois Lane. In fact, I have accumulated all of these tools from all of the times I heard her say “Honey, would you please come and look at this.”
Went to a popular bar tonight – woman by herself at the bar, looking bored – sat next to her and said, “Excuse me, is it possible that your drive motor’s 3 phase variable frequency inverter has smoked an H-driver?”
Long story short – are you a lot taller than I am? – ’cause it didn’t work for me.
Women see men as another big problem and are only interested in them if they see them as a solution for a bigger problem in their lives. Find the problem and be the solution. If she was at the bar getting change for the laundromat because her Neptune smoked itself and was wearing a swim suit for underwear, she would have been all over you.
this may be late, but i got the reference! Another Brick in the Wall part II . . . woot! “If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”
Have any of you ever eating Japanese pudding? it’s f*cking amazing, and no that’s not a sexual innuendo. I’m talking about the milk-derived dessert you can get in supermarkets, specialty shops and school cafeterias. It’s a lot like the flan you can buy in Mexican super markets but with better ingredients.
Still, the best pudding I’ve ever tasted is German, hands down.
must be damn good pudding
And if you don’t eat your meat you can’t have any pudding. Take that, vegetarians!
(*not meant as an attack to vegetarians, of course*)
We don’t need no puddingation…
We don’t need no sauce control…
No life, no pudding, that’s our motto…
Pudding, leave my lilfe alone.
Hey! Pudding! Leave my life alone…
No dark sarcoplasm in the class room!
Epic wins all ’round, I’d say.
And they wonder why we run for shelter…
Unless it’s a biology class.
Wow! Sarcoplasm is a real word! Sounds like something from a Python sketch.
Sarcoplasm – when your own muscles start to make smartarse comments about your fitness. Usually happens right in the middle of a heavy set.
Too classic!!! My husband and I say that to each other, and to the kids, all the time!!!! LOVE IT!
Is this like “No shirt, no service”?
Or no woman, no cry?
Or no pain, no gain?
“No Pudding, No Life”, by Floyd Marley.
Bwahaha!! I was about to say something similar.
This must be the little known “Pudding of Life” that is used to put out the fires of “Curry of Life”.
Ah, but remember, barbecue will find a way!
I already have no life! Why don’t I have plenty of pudding?
Stop pudding yourself down!
yes, has all your good sense desserted you?
Very a-mousse-ing!
and just a little kooky
A trifling quip, but profound nonetheless
Jello, is anybody in there? I believe you mean truffling.
A trifle is a kind of pudding made with layers of liqueur-soaked sponge cake, fruit, jelly (jello), custard and whipped cream.
Are we all eclair on that?
Absolutely! Don’t truffle with trifles!
There is no pudding. It has a 6 month shelf life. There is no life supporting substance in the package. It is all snack cake filling.
Pudding is a lie?!
Try not to think of it as being a pudding. Try to think of the pudding as an extension of your arm.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
The Twinkie and I are one.
The Twinkie and I are onnnnnnnnnnnne.
I met that fried banana cream pie in a previous life.
I can’t see the phrase “snack cake” without thinking “snake cack.” I suffer from Spoonerism.
I’m surprised you don’t spooner from Sufferism.
There is no spoon.
It’s not the pudding in your life that counts, it’s the life in your pudding.
No, it’s what you’re pudding into life that counts!
And you shall receive your just desserts.
Just desserts? I was hoping for a full meal!
This pudding is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late pudding. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace.
It pines to meat the fjords.
It puds no more.
It’s resting. (In a warm place, for 15 minutes.)
Great though, isn’t it, the Norwegian Bombe? Beautiful plum-age.
The only ingredient is cream of reprocessed wood pulp. Isn’t it good, Norwegian wood?
I don’t know if a Norwegian would, but a ter mite.
WIN! Oh, and *clonk*
Who gets the clonk, or do we have to share?
There’s plenty to go around!
*clonk clonk clonk*
We’ve got a snail….
(Great replacement if you’re from france)
Hmph. I find all of this very off-pudding.
Why is pudding getting all philosophical on me?
That’s a very philosophical question!
I’m Japanese, and that’s exactly what the Japanese above says. This poster is advertising a theme park.
A pudding theme park? Come, ride the giant tapioca balls!
Haha.
NON-ENGRISH DETECTED
No pudding, no life.
Know pudding, know life.
(think I once heard similar claims made about Jesus and peace)
Oh, Jesus, yes, I would like a big peace of pudding!
Well, life without pudding would be unbearable. So, I agree “No pudding, No life.”
this seems to be a play on the Japanese tower records slogan “no music, no life” I think it’s a stretch to call this engrish.
We don’t mind. We’ll stretch Engrish until it breaks.
Like No glove, no love.
Maybe this my problem. No pudding, so no life. Give me butterscotch or give me…carrot!
Carrot pudding? Yergl… mind you, I do have a recipe for carrot, banana and zucchini loaf, and it’s delicious.
Actually, this is a fair translation of the Japanese above it which says “without pudding, one can’t live”
Why is pudding so damn important?
Pudding thinks it’s G-d or something……
…. pudding’s not the boss of me….
Pudding has a lot of bowls, doesn’t it?
I’ll ponder the ramekinations of your comment.
Are you basin that observation on this photo?
Tub be basin it on the photo would be foolish, since there is only one bowl there.
I have a question.
I’m allergic to milk, so do I have no life due to my lack of pudding consumption?
I don’t speak Spanish, but I sense the possibility of a riff on “Soy pudding” here.
Anybody?
This sounds like a Woody Allen riff: Superman has Kryptonite. I_Am_Iron_Man has milk allergies and lactose intolerance. “His enemies killed him with a milk shake, ranch dressing fries, a double cheese burger, and 4 cheese burrito with sour cream.”
There’s always black pudding. I think you could make Yorkshire pudding without milk. Maybe a traditional Christmas pudding, too?
This could be a philosophy for life. It’s just as profound as “barbeque will find a way”.
If I could nest comments, I’d've added “No ute, no circle work”.
JohnB, maybe if you have no life, you actually *are* the pudding.
I’ve been called many things in my time, but never pudding! Could I at least be chocolate pudding?
If this be the truth, or, excuse me, the Truth, does that mean Bill Cosby was the second coming? He kept preaching about that Jello Pudding, and even suffered the little children while he did it. I’ll never look at a Jello Pudding Pop the same again… maybe I’ll wear a little gold one around my neck, to commemorate seeing the Light, or the Chocolate, or whatever.
I keep hearing this as a blues song now for some reason. To the tune of “Bright Lights, Big City”. Rhythm or meter works, I reckon.
Actually, it’s not really Engrish in the usual sense of the word….

Here, have some pudding.
There is nothing you need except the realization that there is nothing you need. So put that in your pudding!
I actually think it’s meant to be a play on the catchphrase for Tower Records Japan – “No Music, No Life”.
…and smoke it?
I’m not sure if smoking pudding would work….or have any benefit…but there’s only one way to find out! *hits the pudding* *coughs* MMMM….chocolate flavor LOL.
What is the meaning of this existence without PUDDING?!?!?!??
What is the meaning of this pudding without EXISTENCE?!?!
It’s called pudding in potentia, also known as a “recipe”.
Ah, but you do not satisfy your hunger by reading a recipe book Besides, who wants and impotent pudding???
Of course, the actual article is always more satisfying than just reading about it. Applies not just to pudding. And you’re right, about the impotent pudding; there’s nothing quite as sad as a Yorkshire pudding gone all limp and floppy and fallen in, it’s much more impressive when it’s just come out of the oven, and it’s all puffed up and rampant, ooooh, just thinking about it makes me want to grab the meat and start eating…
Yeah, but if your pudding is impotent, chances are you don’t have to worry about that.
Existence without pudding? There’s only one explanation: you’ve died, and gone to hell.
You mean there’s no pudding in Dreadful Pun Hell? Thank God for the revolving door!
Why do you think nobody ever stays there?
Boring pudding, boring life?
Boring into pudding would certainly be boring. So if you spend your life boring pudding, I’m sure your life would be boring. Try drilling into an ice cream cake for a change.
I just finished boring 3 finger holes into a bocconcini the size of a bowling ball.
I love you, you know that, don’t you.
Really, you need a second bowling bag for your shoes. The shoes will smell like cheese and the cheese will smell like old bowling shoes. (win-win? fail-fail?)
Only on the Internet would this be a response from a guy to a woman saying, “I love you, you know that, don’t you.”
There comes a time when you need someone with a chain saw, drain snake, portable generator, volt meter, network analyzer, sawzall, assorted welders, car jack, engine hoist, tools, animal trimmers, and/or network analyzer and know how to use them. I am the guy that can look and honestly say “The drive motor’s 3 phase variable frequency inverter has smoked an H-driver.” (Maytag Neptune) and fix it with one part (driver board @$180). I have learned to smile and receive hyperbolic gratitude from others graciously and professionally. Every time another woman tries to get close to Superman it causes big trouble for both of them and I have my Lois Lane. In fact, I have accumulated all of these tools from all of the times I heard her say “Honey, would you please come and look at this.”
OMG I’d pay so much to have phone secks with you.
In fact, if you have a biscuit joiner and can TIG weld, I’m going to hunt you down and molest you.
I do and can. Fair warning. I have the wife and poodle very spoiled and they are verrrry possessive.
Went to a popular bar tonight – woman by herself at the bar, looking bored – sat next to her and said, “Excuse me, is it possible that your drive motor’s 3 phase variable frequency inverter has smoked an H-driver?”
Long story short – are you a lot taller than I am? – ’cause it didn’t work for me.

You won’t be able to keep it up if you keep smoking those H-drivers!
My intentions were to smoke a sharp cheddar to go with the wine and appetizers before the pudding.
What about the main course???
Maine Seafood Boil?
Don’t cut yourself while you smoke that sharp cheddar.
Oh, isn’t it always the way… I’ll just have to make do with my own husband. Maybe I could ask for a biscuit joiner for my birthday?
My biscuits often come out joined when I bake them. Does that count?
Enough of this romance – hand over the cheese!
100% NOT Engrish
Am I the only one that got the Pink Floyd reference?
Yup! All the posts above that reference “Another Brick in the Wall”were generated by a computer program assigned to reply to pictures on this site.
Pink WHAT? Never heard of them.
this may be late, but i got the reference! Another Brick in the Wall part II . . . woot! “If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”

No wonder so many Americans have no life!
Ja, vee haff wayz uf making pudding. Und yah, Deutschland chocolate uber alles! Und Schweiz, zey don’t do too bad vis choclate either.
Sorry, I forgot my umlauts…
No, tone down the accent. You spat them into the pudding.
Thë püddïng ïs nöt plëäsëd wïth thät. Jüst sö ÿöü knöw.
“Life without Yum-Yum- why, it seems absurd!”
How do you kill that which has no life?
Take away its pudding?
“プリンなしでは生きていけない”
PURIN nashi dewa ikite ikenai

There is no Engrish here. It is exactly what is stated in japanese above. Just a strange comercial, i guess ^^
CAKE OR DEATH!
Class to much
I need this sign. It reminds me of the triviality of life, but that we need that banality to live. deep!
Not as good as the “No pants! No LIFE!” one.
no woman no cry?
