The Engrish Thread

Alright, everyone. Go to Babelfish or your favorite translation site. Enter something in and translate it from English to Japanese. Then translate it back. As an example, I translated Clavus' recent post about a gift for his wife (because Clavus is awesome).

I have a few things that I have been making for her, and since I already owned the raw materials, I'm asigning a cost of $0 to those gifts. One of the items is a small box. What can I get for $5 that will fit in a 3" X 2" X 2" space?

Ideas?

Out of 35 applicants for the job, 2 names stood out in bold for all of us on the staff. We welcome maleficent and tecoyah to the Mods. They're two outstanding and level headed people that we think will do a great job with helping us keep the TFP as the great community that you know and love... and perhaps even improve it even more.

I would like to thank everyone who applied. Everyone was considered and many of you got many votes of confidence. I just want to tell everyone that even though you may not be a moderator, you're still capable of helping us out. Make some time to help out newbies and users who aren't using the board to it's potential. Everyone is responsible for keeping the TFP up to it's standard.

Thanks everyone!

So, no one told you life was gonna be this way.
Your Job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But -

I'll be there for you ... when the rain starts to fall.
I'll be there for you ... like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you ... cause you're there for me, too.

translated.

I'll is for you... cause you're here for me here, also

Load up on guns and
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
And to pretend
She's over bored
And self assured
Oh no, I know
A dirty word

hello, how low? (repeat)

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yeah

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

And I forget
Just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
It was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

translated:

In order stacks the load with the gun, to lose in your friend It' If it has the pleasure of s, She' The excess of s you make be bored, in order to shake no of Ohio state which is guaranteed by oneself, as for me today when the word where A becomes dirty is known, how you are low?

William Butler Yeats - He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Babelfishs eng->jap->eng version

Me heavens' It was;
The gold and the silver make light/write of the cloth and the night when it is embroidered,
Enwrought and the light/write and the half light/write of the blue,
dimly dark cloth,
I expand the cloth under your feet:
But in I, being poor, there is only my dream;
I expanded my dream under your feet;
Being to step on with my dream, step on quietly.
