the Starbucks Delocator
Lets say you would rather go to a "mom and pop" coffee shop instead of a Starbucks. You enable popups for this site and put in your zip code. It tells you what your options are if you don't want to go all corporate. It also lists the Starbucks, if that's your thing.

Just in case you need to look something up. (no pictures, but may not get past some office or school content filters)

Contains many terms missed by Webster and the OED.

Many

I was able to open that URL, but searching for "blumpkin" immediately provoked a blocked webpage message.

This is kind of freaky

I know it's a lot to read, but it's really interesting. I don't know if I believe it or not, although some of it seems true...

I added Ma's donuts to the site they have the best coffee on the island, and I like the owners- they deserve some free advertising.

taking all the fun out of engrish/chinglish

This page shed some light on the reason why Asian attempts to translate things into English are so hilariously inaccurate. Turns out they have cooler, artier languages than us...

Still, I reserve the right to laugh at stuff like this:

Good one wolf! Very instructive. Now maybe I can increase my chances of knowing when some hanky panky is going on. My friends (married now) once use the phrase "baking cookies" as a euphemism for sex. Probably just slipped right by parents radar. I have two older teens in the house, and I'll keep tuned to a couple of new phrases. Of course I couldn't digest the whole dictionary, but it was fun browsing around.

On a different note, these kind of puzzles just drive me mad. I'm part the way through it and I took a break to pass on the link. I'll get back to the puzzle when I finish this post.....

I went to my local police to complain, but because my boyfriend lived in the Kinki Region ...
heh heh heh ... she said Kinki.

Probably unintentional humor aside ... that is a terrible situation, but I amazed the Japanese are only just discovering this. The amount of ex-revenge of this type occuring here is probably pretty massive, judging from the amount of amateur porn available.

Vin Diesel killed a hooker one winter, disemboweled her, and lived inside her evicerated body for 3 months until spring.


Quote:
It has been proposed by some people that Vin Diesel may not actually exist, and is simply a myth told to children to keep them in line. The reason these allegations are not well known is due to the fact that everyone who makes such allegations is found nude in a field with their skin removed and replaced by "Keep on Trucking!" bumper stickers.
