Not really Engrish, but fun anyway.

Not bad.

This is another fine specimen from my local Tesco Lotus. I was tempted to buy it, but it’s a bit too coherent. Clearly, this was the result of some sort of watermark or copy/paste mishap. Copyrights and intellectual property are still just weird things that only foreigners pay attention to throughout most of Asia.

I frequently stop at the Tesco Lotus hypermarket on my way home from the gym. I like to go between 7 and 8 a.m., when it’s just me and the bored sales clerks. They sell clothes, and I often browse the garments for exceptional mutilations of the English language. Occasionally, I can’t resist. I bought the one below yesterday, and I’m quite pleased with it. I like to see the world, sure. My favorite part is “Authentic Commentary Association.” It’s not the most stunning Engrish specimen that I’ve come across, but I like it.

More to come soon…

Because blogs get updated. I’ve been super focused on my writing lately. Yesterday, my old friend Gail contacted me to ask what happened to my blog (Hi, Gail!), so I decided I would at least keep posting specimens of particularly amusing Engrish that I find around Thailand.

Are there other lurkers? Leave a comment and I’ll give you a cookie!

Cheers,

Chris
