:: Shirts and giggles ::

I picked up a couple of T-shirts (the ones with the wacky English) for folks while in Japan. They read as follows:

(1)

The day filled in the benefit.
The day when the heart was set to one. We

step toward a leg,
and
we follow marks and enter in the light
of re-union

Listen to my talk. Two talks.
One is the glory
which fell. One
is the tale of
affectation.
It got angry
and the
roof in the
world was out
of order.
But
we
looked
good.

(2)

feel + inclined
it was love at first sight

Stood before the door repatedly ,and it knocked. how is the door of your heart opened if it carries out? Many key are fitted over a keyhole. Until a duplicate key is found. I want you to accept me. I want to turn out to be you for each other.

Look at him. He loves buying wacky Japanese shirts more than anything else in the world.

And yes, those shirts are awesome.

Man, I remember the good old days when cokes cost a nickel and peculiar slogans on Japanese T shirts were short and to the point. Example:

Funk!
Spin me
Pizza Hey! Chill

I still have that shirt.

Did you try the P-Colon? I hear it makes for a delicious snack while traveling alone through the Orient.

Sure, make fun of the wacky Asian's English. But can we consider for a second the millions of Americans who not only wear shirts with Asian characters and have no clue how to interpret them, but worse, choose to permanently write in indelible ink random characters on their bodies? For all they know, those characters could say (instead of "Peace", "Energy" or "Joy") "fuck you, you Aryan piece of shit" and yet we make fun of Asians. Hey at least Asians are technologically advanced. Chew on that, you racist.

I'm sure it's just as funny to them when we do the same thing. Somewhere in Tokyo, my doppleganger laughs heartily, as we bask in each other's mutual mocking and respect.
