The trick is to lick one side, then turn your head for the other side.

If I could lick all the way down my back, I doubt I’d bother with my back.

Yes, you have to turn your head around and lick all the way down your back to ensure there are no tangles. You could also find yourself a pet human who is willing to use a grooming brush, but you should still go over your fur with your tongue afterward to keep the glossy shine. Does that help anyone?

Most cats are experts in self grooming.
As cat I would think that you would know quite a bit about that?
Perhaps you have some good tips on how to do it well that you would like to share with non-felines?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:55:48 +0000

Oh, I don’t let that stuff bother me, but sometimes I just like to send a zing or two their way, and they usually go back to hiding, and it feels good to put them in their place. I never fear getting into a war of words, because I’ve not only faced much tougher opponents than them, I’ve had to battle myself, which is the toughest fight anyone can ever have.

Judging from http://www.gzbani.com/kqom.html, it’s a glasses brand, which might explain why he’s wearing a pair.

You seem to have been taking on a rather more disagreeable tone lately. Have you got the actual MRI scheduled now? I know anxiety often gets expressed as anger, particularly for us males.

If I still had my full beard, and hadn’t cut it back to the ‘stache and goatee I have now, that could be me, although the nose would have to be much larger. (My point is, of course, that graying, bearded old men tend to look rather similar.)

What part of, “So apparently I stand corrected,” don’t you understand? It means, “I was wrong,” in case that’s just an American turn of phrase that is beneath you Brits to deign to understand. I do, however, feel certain that apostrophes are used on your side of the Atlantic as well to indicate possession, as in, “other people’s,” but then I have the privilege of speaking English, even though I am American.

“Funny foreign brand names when read in English” when also WRITTEN in English clearly qualify as Engrish! Or are we to believe that Roman letters have now been adopted into Chinese? And yes, sometimes we get material that makes us howl even before we read any comments; sometimes we get crummy material but with comments that make us howl, or at least giggle. I doubt there has been a single entry I’ve seen here with comments included that hasn’t at least given me a smile. I’m not “defending the failings of this blog,” although I do really love this place; I’m just trying to have fun, and to help other people have fun, with what’s here. As I’ve become so fond of saying, being a critic is easy; being funny is not.

hasasenseofhumour — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:23:54 +0000

OK, sometimes the Engrish isn’t great, but creative people can work with what they’re given. 45+ comments on this one shows some of us are still having fun, and to hell with the rules.

I’ve never seen capital spelt that way, not until I googled it JUST NOW to confirm your story. Turns out its some US government thing; but then I have the privilege of speaking English, not American.

Either way you’re wrong and blaming other peoples spelling is no argument in your favour.

By: hasabrain

hasabrain — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:03:10 +0000

Your point being what?

This isn’t ‘funny foreign brand names when read in english’.

The idea behind this blog is to expose poor translations and localisation’s. This is neither; so don’t feel you have to defend the failings of the blog, especially when so many of it’s posts are brilliantly amusing. Consider it the exception that proves the rule … only there are quite a few exceptions if you look around for long enough.

I’m sure it’s not only old men who wear glasses, even in China. Strange choice of logo.
