Sir, you’re making me reconsider my faith in your basic English skills. What does one do with a base? One puts things on it. One bases things on it. One bases things on it. Repeat after me: spin off. Base on. Spin off. Base on. See what I (along with hundreds of years of English writers) am getting at, here?
And what the hell is an “appearance of posterity”?
Having said that, I have to concur with Fact 1.
But what the hell is it with Japanese preschoolers with hair down to their knees? Are they born with waist-length hair or something? It must really be horrific to work in a Japanese maternity ward; every delivery would be like that scene out of The Ring, with added amniotic fluids. (I mean the original one, not the Merkin remake, which I’ve never seen.)
I’d probably also edit “it speaks foreign” and “You’re welcome for the knowledge”. They are overly literal translations with phrasing that a native speaker would never actually say.
This would be even more hilarious if I didn’t know for a fact that Dark_Sage is indeed a native English speaker (of the Merkin variety, like myself), even when drunk.
Anyway, all good Merkins know that Foreign is a language, the one all them foreigners speak. Duh. (In this case, it looks suspiciously like Dutch.)
Plus, if you merely rearrange your second example, it makes perfect sense: “For the knowledge, you’re welcome.” But I agree that “You’re welcome to the [or this] knowledge” is simpler for the easily confused.
Isn’t it “Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai!” not “Papa no Kiki wo Ikuto”? Unless you meant to say “Papa no Kiki wo Ikuto” purposely because it means something else (something I can’t understand since I’ve never heard “kiki” and “ikuto” before except in “Kiki’s Delivery Service”).
This is great! xD Also a good reminder why you nev– I mean, ALWAYS give someone with alcohol issues the admin keys.
Takes me back to when a drunk admin decided it would be funny to wipe the groups IRC channel (+300 people in it at the time) to see how much the servers could take… fun times.
The caption reading “An excerpt from Rhyhorn’s pokedex showing it speaks foreign, not English” is poorly written. A better way to word it would have been “An excerpt from Rhyhorn’s pokedex entry.”
Also missed was the fact that Pokémon is spelled with “é,” not “e.” This error was repeated for the entire article.
Pokémon? Get your Americanized shitsubs out of here, I will settle for nothing other than the original name of “Pocket Monsters” as it is known in glorious nippon.
Thank you for the deep insight, Master Sage.
This successfully fulfills my thirst of knowledge on why this show made me fap so much. Your truly magnificent intellect blesses us mortal simpletons!
These articles keep getting better and better…
Indeed a good show.
Lol… fantastic.

Oh, and hi! I’m still alive!

I know, I was kidding. And also comma splicing, like a boss.
Wait, comma splice where?

Oh, look, Dutch.
Damn you, animegio. You beat me to it by one minute. ONE FRACKING MINUTE.
Anyway, how’s things? Big congrats on your victory in the GotWoot story contest.
> Anyway, how’s things?
Busy. You?

Thanks :) I choose wisely and ended up with some anime on BD :D
What the hell this is like the third anime that Haruhi has starred in, give it a rest Japan -_-
Lost it on the first line.
Dark_Sage, you are a gentlemen and a scholar of fine tastes. You have my respect.

Yeah but the é is just gay. Do Japanese people even know how to pronounce that?
