Hora, keetay, keetay

oide, oide oide yo

gaijin nan'ka pa

konnichi wa!

Nani sh'teru no yo?

Walkin to the fuckin bar

for a long drink

and a slow think ...

Isshou ni ikenaino?

Boku ka? Yeah, why not?

Hajimete, soreya!

I dont fuckin bite,

not so often anyway.

Nanto to yuu no namae ka?

Suzuki Hiroshi to moshimasu.

Get the fuck in there, beer OK?

Arigatou. Nihon ga nagai?

Nagasugiru.

I understand very little Japanese other than what I have picked up via sushi anime and Zen- But somehow in this amusing piece comes loud and clear! Well crafted and well played Ded! ;-)

Are you using standard romaji or is this Japlish

Hi Brennan, Even though I don't understand the language the frustration comes through loud and clear. I say frustration rather than anger because you still use words of respect, a formal greeting and near the end a Thank you... Everyone knows konichi wa and arigatou. Of course the English helps understanding the rest. And "gaigin" stood out... foreigner A word I would not have recognized but I have read your blog and learned a little something. I smiled reading this, been there too long? The moment will pass... :rolleyes:
