Comments on: Maybe it’s because you’re wearing a grocery list

I believe that the point of all this is to remind people to be caring towards one another. Just like you remember to write down the things you need at the grocery store, you should also write down the things that you need for yourself. People often forget about the simple things that really make someones day a good day.

What about your tail?

What a sad, sad shirt. I really feel the pain of the person who wrote this grocery list. The hug is a sad, forgotten gesture making a melancholy plea for attention…

“Please… a hug. One simple hug. Can’t you find ten seconds of time amidst your busy orange juice shopping?”

you make me sad. All I’ve ever found are obsessive, possessive selfish jerks who I wouldn’t let touch me with a 10 foot pole (or anything else) because they don’t know the difference between the two.

Whenever my husband has a day off from work, and I do have to go to work, I leave him a list of things that need to get done around the house. He doesn’t crumble it up or throws it away. When I come home most of the items of the list, just didn’t get done.

And some are atheist.

Women are complex mechanisms and make computers relatively as complex as rocks. Most men have never spent as much time understanding the details of women as they have of their computers. Mainly, men have never read the chapters on women’s identifying characteristics, maintenance, repairs, operations, and diagnostics. If it seems to be working, don’t mess with it. Repairing anything enough times will break it.

My husband likes it when I leave him lists of things to do. He does, he really likes those lists – I think what he likes is the lovely crisp scruncy noises they make as he screws them up, then the satisfaction of scoring a “three pointer” as he throws them into the bin from the other side of the room.

Not Engrish, this be poetry.

It is a reference to the morning routine at home.
Breakfast is tea / juice with a donut and sometimes a hug.

This reminded me of an episode of That 70s Show when Leo wrote a love letter to Kitty.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Coffee, milk, sugar

The context, first of all. Why would anyone put those words on a shirt if they knew what they meant? Secondly, the passage as a whole. No, there are no errors of spelling and few of grammar, but WTF do tea, orange juice, and/or doughnuts have to do with hugging? For that matter, what do tea, orange juice, and doughnuts have in common except that they are all consumable items? And that last “sentence,” “Some time(s) you hug me and some time(s) you don’t.” Well, duh! It would be somewhat difficult to get through life if I spent every waking minute hugging my wife, or my daughter, or my mother, or my dog, now, wouldn’t it? Hence, the meaning of this whole thing is most inscrutable, therefore putting it comfortably in the domain of Engrish.

JohnB — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:02:53 +0000

I agree! (Great save, that is.) Yes, I truly feel sorry for people who have never experienced that deep sense of communion with another person that takes place when two people are deeply in love and deeply making love, where personal boundaries almost seem to disappear and the two really do become one in a sense. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying that physical sexuality is not pleasurable. Of course it is. But truly making love takes us to a level and a dimension that is so far beyond the mere physical pleasure of secks, that if you’ve experienced it, mere secks is no longer a big deal at all.

And for the record, I have never faked. The only reason I responded that to PG is because it seemed like a relevant response.

I agree with you. I believe that a couple should communicate well with each other and let the other person know what he/she is doing well or wrong. It feels great to make love to someone who already knows exactly what you want.

I also agree completely with the comment you made a while back about why have sex when you can make love. When people have casual sex they become selfish and are looking for their own satisfaction. When you make love, you are looking to satisfy the other person, just as that other person wants to satisfy you.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:24:36 +0000

Why should we even suspect you might be faking? If I believe my wife is deriving immense satisfaction from our lovemaking, and she really isn’t, that is a real betrayal, because I very much want to do whatever it takes to give her pleasure, and if I should be doing something else or something different, I want to know about it!

Since I’ve been reading Engrish, I pay more attention to people in the United States wearing clothes with foreign characters on them and wonder if they say something absurd as the above example.
