But somebody is out there googling ‘bottled cunts’, and I need more answers, dammit. Who? Why? What do they hope to achieve? What are their other top search results?

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the read.

You had me at SAND BOX.

Still grinning & ridiculously pleased to have stumbled on this blog (not via bottled cunts though)

Yes! I’m so glad we got an authentic Russian speaker onto the site to clear that up. “Movable smoke consuming apparatus” indeed. Thanks Cherny. Could “invisible idiot” refer to Dick Cheney?

My favourite Engrish I saw was in a Thai hostel: “Please do not touch the yellow-brown cat. She is anger and is biting you hurtly.”

My favourite one on the internet is from Japan. “You cannot enter the castle because you are too dangerous.”

… there’s an urban legend that the CIA built a English – Russian translating machine in the late 50’s, when the phrase “out of sight, out of mind” was entered the machine translated it as “invisible idiot”.

Hahaha some of the translations are atrocious, it’s like the Russian equivalent of Engrish. The last one for example actually reads: “portable exhaust fan”.

Could it be that “A class division” is part of the new Russian way of doing things, rather than no class divisions?

Hah! Geoff you’re a champion. That last comment made me laugh out loud in the office at work. Tho I don’t think they’d understand if I tried to explain it.

I like the sound of a portable foam applicator. I’m sure that could come in handy at some stage.
