      The towel sticker hardly qualifies as Engrish.
      Your comment on the other hand…

      The song “Convoy” consists of three types of interspersed dialog: a simulated CB conversation with CB slang, the narration of the story and the chorus. It is about a fictitious trucker rebellion that drives from the west to the east coast of the United States without stopping. What they are protesting against (other than the 55 mph speed limit), is shown by lines such as “We tore up all our swindle sheets and left ‘em settin’ on scales.” (The reference is to log sheets used to record driving hours; the sheets were referred to on occasion as ‘swindle sheets’ as they were often created to show that drivers were getting proper sleep when, in reality, the drivers were driving more than the prescribed number of hours before mandatory rest; ‘Scales’ refers to Department of Transportation weigh stations on Interstates and highways to verify the weight of the truck and the drivers’ hours of working through log books). The song also refers to toll roads: “We just ain’t a-gonna pay no toll.”

      The conversation is between “Rubber Duck,” “Pig Pen” and “Sodbuster,” primarily through Rubber Duck’s side of the conversation. The narration and CB chatter are by Fries.

      At the beginning of the song a “Kenworth pullin’ logs,” being driven by Rubber Duck, is the “front door” (the leader) of three eighteen-wheelers (tractor and semi-trailer) when he realizes they have a convoy. Following the Rubber Duck is an unnamed trucker in a “cab-over Pete with a reefer on” (a refrigerated trailer, hauled by a Peterbilt truck configured with the cab over the engine), while Pig Pen brings up the rear (the “back door”) in a “‘Jimmy’ (GMC truck) haulin’ hogs.”

      The convoy begins toward “Flagtown” (Flagstaff, Arizona) at night on June 6 on “I-one-oh” (I-10) just outside “Shakytown” (Los Angeles, California, due to its earth tremors). By the time they get to “Tulsatown” (Tulsa, Oklahoma), there are 85 trucks and the “bears” (police) have set up a road block and have a “bear in the air” (police helicopter). By the time they get to “Chi-town” (Chicago, Illinois), the convoy has been joined by “Sodbuster” (another trucker in an unspecified make of truck), a “suicide jockey” (truck hauling explosives) and “eleven long-haired friends of Jesus (11 hippies) in a chartreuse microbus” (a Volkswagen Type 2), and the police have called out “reinforcements from the ‘Illinois’ (Illinois) National Guard.” The convoy crashes another road block when crossing a toll bridge into New Jersey, and by this time they have “a thousand screamin’ trucks” in all.

      The song’s running gag has Rubber Duck complaining about the smell of the hogs that Pig Pen is hauling. He repeatedly asks the offending driver to “back off” (fall further behind). By the end, Pig Pen has fallen so far back that when Rubber Duck is in New Jersey, Pig Pen has only gotten as far as Omaha (a reference to the headquarters of American Gramaphone, which released the song).

        CQ CQ CQ From VE6 Land DE Mr. Frykas, QSL? HI HI!
        (And you thought l33t5p33k was bad…)
        73!

        • JohnB says:

          VE6 Mr. Frykas, this is an N8*** living in 4-land, originally a WA2*** back in ’69, changed when I upgraded license in WV in ’94. We’ve also got someone on the site who thinks he’s a cat who’s also got a ticket. So QSL 5×9, alws gud 2 hear from another ham! 73 for now.

          • paws4thot says:

            I happened to have looked that entry up when “SW” invoked the Ordinal Post rule.

          • Mr. Frykas says:

            JohnB DE VA6*** (Mr. Frykas doesn’t give out his callsign to just anyone don’ch-ya’know) RST 599… Using single rockbound 6AQ5 homebrew rig on 40M… Barefoot 7W to G5RV, not quite QRP, but close. Waiting for solar cycle to rev up…

            Meet me in VE6 land sometime for an eyeball QSO, Meet your XYL, HI HI!

            WX is cold, time to stoke the furnace.

            73!

            • JohnB says:

              Mr. Frykas DE N8***, gud copy here. Currently I only fool with a handheld on 2m FM that I run with a brick in the car. Still haven’t set up my only HF rig, an old Heathkit HW-8 putting out three whole watts, although with only a dipole at about 12 feet elevation I was able to work 35 states and 16 foreign countries back in the early ’80s solar peak on 15 & 20m. Haven’t had it on since we moved so I don’t know if the old bird is still working! Built it myself back in 1980. Had one integrated circuit go bad on it once and had to replace it, but otherwise it’s worked fine. Don’t get up your way very often. (In fact, I’ve only been to VE land once, about 40 years ago!) Well, 73 for now, and don’t let that WX freeze ur buns! It’s down to 37 degrees here tonight in Kentucky, so I imagine it must be WAY colder up there!

    This merchandise is made with a North section and a South section. Judging by the colour, I think we’re looking at the Northern part.

  3. v000 says:

    Oops, “Nobel Quality” under the pic should read “Noble Quality” – if it’s alright with Mr. Nobel.

  4. JohnB says:

    I knew we had come a long way with synthetics, but I had no idea clothing could be made entirely from helium, neon, and argon.

  5. adnoxious says:

    Is that old timey Cinderella carriage supposed to symbolize luxury? Get with the times Korea- put a Bentley on there instead.

  6. Steve says:

    Drop an L and we’d have some literal Soft Wear.

    bad pun.

  7. la conejita says:

    Size: 160X220CMS 26, this must be a madlum.

  8. PoodleGroomer says:

    I want a 64″ x 88″ luxury bath sheet. It is getting to cold to have any bare wet skin.

  9. PoodleGroomer says:

    Be careful around the upper border. There are armed guard posts, barb wire fences, and mines.

  10. emptyshell says:

    When I first read “The same shape? Size? With Koreans in it? I need to know!” my mind went in a TOTALLY different direction, so by the time I got to the actual picture I was just confused… :-D

  11. dr handle says:

    Made as Korea – see, it’s red on one side.

  12. Rizz Rustbolt says:

    Maybe it’s a metaphor for Korea.

  13. amethyst says:

    Think this is actually a blanket–dimensions are too big for a towel.

  14. Peping01 says:

    “Made as Korea”: The same way? By dividing it into two pieces, each occupied by different people and then letting it be one surrounded by water more and the second one less? I want that one
