I have applied for an editing job at DrMaster comics (http://www.drmasterbooks.com, formerly ComicsOne). They import Chinese and Japanese comics, and they need editors to "clean up" the translations ( Read more... )

Not a rocket. A yard-a-pult. Definately a yard-a-pult.

My ass is available for biting, at your convenience.

Check THIS ... your one-stop resource for high-standard japanese translation.

By the way, my son has a little plastic toy-hammer, and it has this sticker saying "New Edition Flashing Enter Promethean". Is that like... freemason stuff?

No.
Forget you ever saw it.

I have a label from a package of tapioca balls (the things in the bottom of Bubble Tea) on the front of my current favorite notebook. The instructions read as follows:

1) Use medium high heat to boil water (water quantity is six times of Balls).
2) After water boiling up, put balls in, stir and cover pot to cook 30 minutes.
3) Cease fire, stays as it is for 20 minutes.
4) Drain off hot water. Rinse cold water, stir. Scoop up cooled balls, mix a little sugar to serve with drinks.

Oh yeah, and "Please keep at dark, cool place."

Had a presidential debate party at our house (our guy won, but he lost) and the balls had us laughing all night.

No, no, silly monkey, the job is to make sure that when they want to get readers in the future, same readers will not encounter things like I did in our first purchase.

or, on page 3,

Also Sprach Master Kong:

"This humble monk has heard that warrior Zhune has been comitting acts of violence in order to shock the circle of warriors. Your master - Vigor Fist, out of hiding, to face you so that you can take revenge for him killing your family..."
