The grunion memes are running. Some are good, some are bad, all of them are serious introspectives. Time to inject a bit of levity! I give you the Engrishmeme:

The questions:

1) You think of that any one will make really this meme?
I think somebody already did. It's like, here now, you know?

2) Has your father the cheerfulness which is known you?
My cheerfulness knows no bounds but Dad has a bound or two in his cheerfulness limit so I've got to say no to this one.

3) It is many the dog and the cat it spreads out how, it has?
They generally spread through population expansion, just like bunnies.

4) How many licks it adopts obtains to the tootsie popular music center?
I think the answer is "one" and the subject in question is "Christina Aguilera".

5) Which thing fairies for one life?
Leprechauns. Definitely leprechauns.

The gimmicky part:

1) When you post this on your blog get rid of the first question, bump up all the numbers and make a new question for #5. In other words, you are going to be answering your own question #5 and not answering my question #1.

2) You make a new question by writing it in English, translating it to a foreign tongue, and then translating it back to English. Don't tell anybody what the actual original question was.

3) Trackback to this post or return here to make a comment and let me know where you are because I'm keen on seeing what y'all come up with.

4) Make sure to trackback/comment to the person you snagged this from too because they're going to want to see how you answer their question #5. Responses to the Engrish questions are hillarious when you know what the original English was.

Fini:

1) That means it's the end and there is nothing else.

2) You're done.

3) Pretty pointless, this section.

A very genteel Southern lady was driving across a Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day.

As she neared the middle of the bridge, she noticed a young man ready fixin' to jump.

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said,

"Please don't jump, think of yoah deah momma and daddy."

He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

She said, "Well, think of yoah wife and children."

He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids."

She said, "Well, think of Robert E. Lee."

He replied, "Who's Robert E. Lee?''

She replied, "Well, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee."

Do you know what the difference is between Northern fairy tales and Southern fairy tales?

Northern fairy tales start with "Once upon a time, in a land far, far away..."

Southern ones start with "Y'all ain't gonna believe this shit..."

The various branches of the armed forces rag on each other incessantly. It's generally done in good humor and taken well by the target. At the root of things anybody serving has a decent respect for other folks who are serving.

We pretty much ignore the Coast Guard. I guess that's because picking on the Coast Guard would be too much like kicking a puppy. As a Navy man I've spent years casting aspersions on the grunts and the jarheads but my favorite target has been the Air Farce, mostly because my Dad was a Sergeant in the USAF and picking on Dad is always good fun.

With all that in mind, here's a little treasure sent to me by Lovely Wife:
