I hate to be a party pooper, but lifeguard and vodka is not the combination I’d hope is on the beach when I’m caught in a rip tide.
lifeguard + vodka = good… but children or cars?? baaad.
What’s wrong with a lifeguard who has children or a car???
Because when he’s on duty, the children drink all his vodka & wind up driving the car into the swimming pool.
In my neck of the woods Lifeguard is a type of soap.
Vodka and soap…
Sounds like something a rugby player would drink for a dare!
Where is the Engrish?
Are you kidding?
This reads like a product for self-immolation when you’re not really sure you want to!
In answer to your question, yes; I think rfa IS kidding. It also sounds like something that would give you a massive case of teh sh!ts, Lifeguard is a brand of soap in these parts.
“Burn yourself out with this dynamite combinaton of VODKA and LIFEGUARD.” By God, if this isn’t Engrish, I don’t know what is!
I think that would be spring break at the beach.
I thought spring break was when students went off to AVOID burnout!
If you scroll up from the comments, you will see a picture. The Engrish is up there.
why i don’t smoke any more. i use to burn my self out all the time when i drank vodka and there never was a life guard there to rescue me.
Where is The Cleaner when you need him?
Well, it’s bad Japanese, too, then, because the Japanese literally says ‘Lifeguard powered by vodka.’
This isn’t a fail on their part. They actually meant to say that their ‘Lifeguard’ drink is ‘powered by vodka’. They probably mean the ‘burn out’ part too, as it is probably an energy drink.
But even given that, they still obviously didn’t understand what “burn yourself out” actually means in English. Burning oneself out often leads to quitting drinking!
Pfft. It’s only 7% alcohol, what’s the worry? My blood is 7% alcohol when I’m sober.
I miss the 7-11 in Japan, and all the crazy drinks and the delicious hot meals ;_;
Actually, 7% alcohol in your blood would be WAY past the “coma and death” threshold. 0.08% is legally drunk in most US states. 0.20% can produce coma in people without alcohol tolerance. Even I, who worked studiously on developing tolerance, probably never got much past 0.50%, which is a dosage that is often fatal, but because of my tolerance I survived without even medical attention. I once read a news report of a Lithuanian man who was pulled over for DUI and allegedly tested out at >0.70%, but I find that hard to believe, since that would require the consumption of about 2 liters of 80-proof liquor in a four-hour period for the man, who weighed about 200 pounds. I was a very serious alcohol junkie, full physiological addiction, and at my worst I went through 2 liters of vodka in 24 hours.
I really hope you’re just joking, but if you need a certain blood alcohol level just to feel sober, you’re in deep trouble, my friend. Alcohol is one of the most deadly drugs out there.
In Soviet Russia blood is in your alcohol system.
Unfortunately, the removal of Communism did not inspire the people to undertake a bout of sobriety, literally or figuratively.
Is it made from real lifeguards?
The soap, or the individuals pursuing the occupation? I don’t have a clue.
I like to think it’s the soap, blueJade. Just imagine all the young folks chugging soap and vodka and waking up in the morning with a nice CLEAN hangover – painful but no morning booze sweat.
I’ve always had a burning passion to jump into a fire with my lifeguard friend and a bottle of vodka, and now I can do it!
Just don’t make a habit of it.
Why? Are there any side effects?
Vodka certainly has many side effects, which I could detail ad nauseam, since in fact ad nauseam is one of them, but I’d say they pale in contrast to the side effects of jumping into a fire!
But if I rub vodka on me then it will burn instead of me!
Play with fire you will get burned.
This can also happen with that for which fire is a metaphor.
“Drop and roll jinxed. Drop and roll!”
I’m fine. Told you the “Lifeguard”® would protect me!
Not if you have children or a car!
yes please
If you are young enough to like Hannah Montana, then you CERTAINLY too young to drink alcohol!
I saw many lifeguards powered by vodka back when I was in college…
Burn your self out? hell, that’d burn a hole thru flat iron
Ah yes, as I’ve described myself before now: Mind by Melbourne University, body by Carlton & United Breweries. Or possibly the other way around.
