  1. griffinlady says:

    Now THAT is my kind of fire making!

  2. JohnB says:

    I prefer hardcore scenery to be at least a little fiery!

  3. JohnB says:

    Perhaps both!

  4. David J says:

    The music is worse in the Hardcore scenery area. It just keeps repeating itself.

  5. Meowth says:

    Please make your fire in the areas with more tame scenery.

  6. Alice says:

    How am I supposed to level my cooking?

  7. KinkyTom says:

    You have to go to the softcore area to do that .

  8. Sprite101 says:

    I prefer softcore scenery myself.

  9. KinkyTom says:

    If it didn’t say anything on the sign and i saw it while walking by I would think it meant no fire baseball : P

    or no hitting fire <_<

  10. mudkipz says:

    Holy f–king sh-t! That scenery is f–king hardcore!!

  11. cobrasnakenecktie says:

    you know I can usually guess what something in Engrish is supposed to mean….this one however has got me quite stumped.

    • paws4thot says:

      It’s not how a native English speaker would normally say it, but the only thing that’s wierd rather than “unusual syntax” is the word “hardcore”.

      • JohnB says:

        Dreadful Spelling Sprite notes that “weird” is spelled weirdly.

        • hollyr57 says:

          Dear Dreadful Spelling Sprite,

          Why doesn’t “weird” conform to the I-before-E-except-After-C rule? I have often wondered this to myself and now am lucky enough to be able to wonder it to the DSS.

          Sincerely, Wierd Hol Yankee Witch

          • bobzilla says:

            To be summed up in three words (one being a contraction),
            because it’s dumb.
            More: Vein, reign, neighbor, beige, deity, feisty, eight, et cetera…

            • hollyr57 says:

              Bobzilla is one of my husband’s several nick-names. You surely are not the bobzilla in my house, are you? You don’t use his speech patterns. Very astonishing coincidence.

            • Droll not Troll says:

              Old MacDonald had a farm,
              EIEIO…

              • JohnB says:

                The way I learned the rule was:

                I before e except after c,
                or when sounded as “a” as in sleigh or weigh.
                Exceptions: Sheik seized weird height weir either neither leisure.

                • hollyr57 says:

                  So it was my educators that let me down!! They only gave me part of the I before E mantra. Thank you DSS and bobzilla and, well DNT didn’t really help me with this conundrum but she made me laugh! So thanks!

                  • Droll not Troll says:

                    Hey, Holly! I’m male. Or did you make a typo?
                    I never heard JohnB’s exception before, either; I just seem to be able to remember the exceptions. I don’t like to get hung up on the correctness, though, since these words can be a rich source of LOLZ.
                    I still remember my young brother, one Christmas many years ago, reading from the side of the box the tree lights came in: “These lights are weird…….”. What it actually said was “These lights are wired in series”. To this day, one of us is likely to use his version, any time something with lights isn’t working right.

                    • hollyr57 says:

                      Sure about the gender change, Droll. Those folks without a gender specific name – well, I usually assign them one on the basis of how interigent they sound (giggle and snicker). Because you’re so quick-witted I gave you the wrong gender. **waiting to be hit with cries of “Sexist”. All in jest, guys.
                      I liked your Christmas memory. All families have them I think. When my two daughters were growing up they complained about the fact that there were no Halloween carols. So we made this one up and still call each other and sing in each Halloween:
                      (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)
                      *Jingle bats, jingle bats
                      flying through the air,
                      in your little red felt hats
                      you look so debonair*

                  • JohnB says:

                    Thank Mr. James R. Peskor, my 10th grade English teacher, and the first teacher I ever had who really taught the most important thing, how to think.

                    • crazydave says:

                      James R Peskor?, Walt Whitman HS? He was awesome!

                      • Eric Becker says:

                        Beyond awesome. A genius. He loved The Doors and Chaucer. What more could you want out of a HS English teacher?

                    • Eric Becker says:

                      You had Peskor. I had him twice: English 11 (1979) and Nature of Language (English 12 elective, Fall 1979). The man was brilliant. I teach HS English, and he’s my role model. He never got up from his seat behind his desk and still held us entranced–a genius of a teacher.

                • paws4thot says:

                  I’ve never heard the “or when sounded as an ‘a’ ” bit before.

              • dr handle says:

                Old MacDonals was dyslexic,
                IEOEI

      • cobrasnakenecktie says:

        and the whole cricket bat in the fire part. that is quite odd.

        • Droll not Troll says:

          I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a thermometer, but why they thought it belonged on the sign is another mystery.

          • JohnB says:

            I’m sure you’ll feel foolish when I point this out, but it is, rather obviously, a burning match.

            • Droll not Troll says:

              I think you nailed it. That makes a lot more sense, although I wouldn’t call it obvious. I just realised it’s been quite a while since I last used a match!

              • JohnB says:

                The drawing is not terribly high-quality, but it appears to be a square (in cross section) wooden kitchen match, of the kind most of us used to keep around the house until electrical stoves came to replace gas in most homes. I still find them indispensible in camping, for such tasks as lighting Coleman lamps. We haven’t been camping in several years, actually, but the Coleman lamps came in handy last February when we had that awful ice storm and were without electricity for five days (and we were lucky to have had it out only that long! Many folks in Kentucky went three weeks or more…)

            • polish girl says:

              I KNEW THAT !!!

  12. Funny Blog says:

    Funny. Funny. Funny.

  13. dukethepcdr says:

    Is ‘fire making’ a euphanism for something hard core?

    • JohnB says:

      Dreadful Spelling Sprite would be glad to correct your spelling here, if it were entirely clear whether you intended to say “euphemism” or “euthanasia.”

  14. Onion says:

    The grass is shaved off in the hardcore park.

  15. powermuffin says:

    I did not realize that I was going to be in a hardcore scene.

  16. T.OC says:

    That’s bull. I’ve seen plenty of bats in hardcore scenery making areas. And in the ‘scenery’ too.

  17. Shawn Welch says:

    I believe that X in a square is a Wingding

  18. Mark. Gooley says:

    hardcore scenery = especially attractive scenery? Colloquially that makes sense though it’s a strange way to say it, but on a sign it’s still downright comical.

  19. disques durs says:

    Ya offcourse Hardcore always rock and HARDCORE SCENERY AREA is my favourite, its really a fantastic area..

  20. The Fail Nerd says:

    dude… i wonder what the goings-on are at a hardcore scenery area…?

    Engrish sexy
