Re: Whilst out shopping...

uh oh don't make me think more than necessary about it, it's already hard to get the piccie of (a) Knob Creek out of the back of my Mind

other than that, I am wondering why the pic is so ginormous, I didn't do that on purpose....the male population is already adding enough to this topic of sizes etc

Re: another try

There's a guy at work who'se surname is Jirkofsky. I was chuckling for a good day about that. Poor guy. I'm not even sure if he knows.

check out www.engrish.com
It's the next logical step after a thread like this one.

Re: Whilst out shopping...

I met a person who's last name is Bimbo. A female PhD scientist... Rather unfortunate in the English-speaking world.

Re: Whilst out shopping...

My favourite teacher at school was named Rosalind Bottom. I don't think too many people called her Rosy. Shame on her parents.

Re: Whilst out shopping...

OK. To get this thread back on topic. Here's a few humerous snaps taken with my mobile whilst out shopping recently...


I'm wondering particularly about the beer...

Re: Whilst out shopping...

This is in response to this entire thread....THANK YOU for giving me the best laugh I have had since moving here 8 months ago. I have the hiccups I am laughing so hard. I am desperately trying to laugh quietly so i don't wake up my daughter.

I am a new member and wow, I'm sold.

Why are people not writing ****dorf???

Its a place name, on an english language guide book do you think they would put **** in instead of ****

Edit... I don't believe it the forum does it automatically!!!

I so much want to put in some other words to see what else gets changed to ****!

...only had time to take a snap with my mobile phone. Would someone please tell me what Murmeltier Fett (Marmot fat) is used for?
