Maybe they meant “Yes, we sail” and those are the manequins from Old Navy.
If I remember correctly, my post wasn’t the first one.
Yay, they earased ShadowSplicer’s post and put mine first. The moderator really likes me!
Oh well….that comment kind of deserved it anyways….
SS, did you say something mean?
I might not be able to say it again….I just said I don’t like a certain “person”
Is this a thoughtful, rational, conclusion you have drawn? Was it an ill-considered, possibly irrational statement?
2 pieces of gum for this one. This is a key.
I actually was quite surprised it got taken down. He had simply indicated that he was not fond of the current Commander-In-Chief. I happen to think the one we’ve got is a vast improvement over the previous one, but I certainly respect people’s right to disagree with me, no matter how wrong the are!
They are.
He did also say that he wanted to hit him with a non-living-metal bat. So, that sounded more like a threat.
I do also feel that we are better off with the one we have than the previous one, and thank god we don’t have Sarah Palin up there with JMcC.
No wise person would post serious threats in teh intertubes, or even email. Remember, SS, it’s like graffiti carved in a rock, and “they” can find you if they really want to. Just make sure they don’t want to.
Ah, apparently the lad added something after I saw it, and in that case, I’m not at all surprised it came down. Back in the early days of the net, I had a very paranoid client who told me about what I took to be delusional material about how all e-mails and postings on the web were screened for threatening material by a certain government, and he even told me a name for the project that sounded quite surreal. I was later to learn that the project in fact had existed and did very much what he had said it did. One can get the feeling that this is an anonymous medium, and no one here knows who you are. That is deceptive, because while none of the ordinary mortals here do know who you are, the “them” DnT refers to do exist, and can indeed find you. It is probably a good thing that when I was a young, rebellious hothead, the net wasn’t around!
So the moderator, actually erased the comment to protect ShadowSplicer. Thank you thank you moderator, you do care about us.
I agree. It’s just not smart to run off of at the mouth. Stuff you write on the internet isn’t going to just dissolve over time… every keystroke is saved.
SS, why are you so pissed at Obama? What is your rationale? Be coherent, don’t just rant.
I can see that you people like “him,” so I will keep it to a minimum……He is trying to take our country, and make it like the Muslim nation….blah blah blah…….He is killing all the small businesses……….and tell me blueJade, did “mr O” give you bailout money for your business? Your business is being threatened, because the ‘glorious’ “savior” hasn’t gone through with the promises he made, and will never fulfill! (I mean this respectfully) He is trying to spend money we don’t have, and in the process, he is putting us farther in debt! And moderator, please, I ask, don’t delete this comment!
Do you actually follow politics, or are you just cursed with US Conservative Christian parents?
If the former, I suggest reading PunditKitchen for a few days. In the latter case, you may need to divorce them!
I watch a NUMBER of different news stations, and am VERY interested in politics, and NO, my parents don’t agree with me!
I don’t agree with you either, but my concern was more over whether your opinions were actually your own, or they were actually your parents’ being recycled.
I just said they don’t support me AT ALL! I am completely alone on the subject!
SS, don’t worry! he’s “just” a politician! like any other politician.
He happens to be non-white, and has a convincing delivery style.
All successful politicians are power-brokers. They are essentially amoral. There is a theory that successful heads of state and corporations are often sociopaths. If this is valid, all we can hope for as a head of state is to get an intelligent person with somewhat of a grip on reality.
I think you need to collect more data before you decide Obama is a Moslem, or that he’s killing all the small businesses. I have seen no evidence of either.
One thing I can point to as an achievement is he has improved the image of the U.S. internationally, and I’m very happy about that.
I expected nothing of Obama. He is neither a wizard, a deity, or the tooth fairy. They don’t exist. There is only people like us and the decisions we make. My business ate it because I blew it.
I need more gum, my mouth is dry.
Sorry I mentioned the business thing….I feel bad about that.
*gives a few packs of gum to blueJade*
It’s entirely possible that He Who Pleasures Us With Strong Funny might, just might, occasionally get a bit fed up with the silly/puerile/annoying remarks that, regrettably, a 15-year-old can sometimes come out with.
That’s strange, since none of us ever does.
…that’s a joke, right?
My fixed yellow frown does not allow for the easy expression of the wry grin with which I say much of what I say around here…
That’s why we have emoticons, which work even better on these sites that have gif generators.
Or just post with your bluejade avatar, the one with the huge smile on it.
But it’s not Wednesday afternoon!
Oh, you can be a bluejade anytime. It’s not like it’s going to get used up.
Nevah!!
Do you think the manequins are republican or democrat?
I don’t know about the girls, but the guy looks like a preppie to me, probably republican.
Hate to burst bubbles, but this is in Holland, at a store called WE.
So it’s a WE SALE.
That still doesn’t make sense. Let’s use the same lingo with an American store. “Yes Macy’s Sale”. Nope, still sounds like Engrish to me.
What’s with all the bubbly?
Is it vintage or not?
Does the bubbly come with sparkly?
Only if you live in twilight.
If I’m not mistaking, this picture was taken in Denmark. The shop is New Yorker in Rosengaardcentret, identified by the floor and wall (I’ve worked there for quite some time o_O;;) But yeah, maybe WE and NY is part of the same franchise?
OMG that’s totally Hauptplatz in Graz, I have to change trams there every day on the way zum Deutschkurs!!! I also thought about posting it, but I was too lazy. Horray for whoever you are that put it up, you’re awesome!!!
Oh wait, it looks like it’s in a mall so it’s probably not Hauptplatz (got too excited and hasty, sorry), but we have the exact same display in the same store here too!
Saw the same in Innsbruck (Sillpark mall). I was to lazy too^^
We are saling, we are saling,
Home agaaaaaain, ‘cross the seeeeeeeeeea…
We are saling, time you bought some,
It’s much cheaper, but it’s not free.
I ate someone’s shorts there too!
Hmmmm…..just wait a minute……
Dummy!
Whatever you say….
I wish I hadn’t……
There are things I wish I hadn’t written in this site. You can’t take it back. If it’s any consolation, your comment will probably not have a long lasting effect as when I said the S word, which still haunts me until this day.
I’m sure we’ve all said something we’d like to take back, either for what it was or because of how it made someone else feel.
I understand exactly how you feel. Sometimes I say things that I don’t mean, and it emotionally hurts someone. The best thing we can do is monitor what parts our lips.
My avatar seems to be quite opposite my composure…
Hmmm… That seems a little awkward also.
This avatar seems to fit as well as a fine suit!
All of us who are regulars here are obviously trying to be funny, and there are many here who manage to be funny on a regular basis, which is not easy to do. But being funny is always walking a knife edge between being spontaneous versus being calculating, between being silly versus being stupid, and pushing someone’s buttons lightly–which is usually what makes something the funniest–and giving someone a painful poke. And by being a regular here, I think we are giving our implicit consent to be poked a little, and I try to make that consent more explicit by being self-deprecating, because I don’t take myself or what I say too seriously, even when I’m being the ponderous professor that I can be. So for the record, I don’t feel the slightest resentment towards anyone here, even if I get annoyed at times (as we all do), and appreciate that there’s a very clever and very witty crew here that puts considerable effort into being funny and into letting me make them laugh. And I will state firmly that it has never been my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable, if I have caused offense. And I’m sorry for all the times I’ve missed the mark, although I think that to be funny you always have to take some sort of risk, if only that of not being funny.
What about irregular people? Are they not funny?
Don’t make fun of erroregular people! THEY ARE ERROR!
Irregularity can certainly interfere with one’s sense of humor! That’s probably why there are so many remedies around for “occasional irregularity.”
long may we pleasure each other with strong funny!
…
I could probably have worded that better…
Saw it in a mall in Bucharest, Romania, on Friday. Thought about taking a picture and posting it but was too lazy. Ya’all must be reading my mind
)
Laziness causes Engrish, but won’t get it posted.
I find myself thinking, sometimes, of all the malformed Engrish signs, memos, etc., that I have received over the years and wishing I had taken pictures of them all.
That’s New Yorker stores everywhere. So embarassing…
ah, yes, that’s why this picture is so familiar to me, i walk past those stores nearly every day
I saw this Exact same sign in
germany on sunday. XD
Next to it there was a sign saying ‘I’m not fall’… :/
I wanted to put this picture up. D:
I’ve seen this in the Newyorker
Holy crap! It’s a shop in germany… in a center where I was last saturday!
I was into saying this is defo H&M’s in a mall next to where I live… But now that so many people say it’s New Yorker… OK, agree. And I don’t know in which mall. But probably somewhere in Germany. Our way to say “Screw you, grammar, we’re making money and you DON’T”.
