There is a small list on "prohibited" words on this forum that can cause great axiety and pain to all involved:
- Zero vs. Wildcat (and Zero bonus)
- Bismarck
[:D][:D][:D]
Leo "Apollo11"
+ Tiger/Sherman debate.

How about the Tiger vs. Yawaraka (soft) tank??[:'(]

oh no now i'm gonna have to try to translate those too...
chapter 2 was a little easier to understand for me than chapter 1. here it goes:
The soft tank's heart is whole,
It wants to survive, it wants to survive,
However it doesn't have one weapon (pretty sure that's what they say)
Since they were born they kept loosing wars
Elementary school kids raised them as pets
Middle school kids drew them hairy eyebrows
It's got a weapon,
oh yes it's got a weapon,
On it's head,
A CHIKUWA! (note: chikuwa is a sort of japanese fish cake, you can see it sort of looks like a gun barrel)

Really looking forward to chapter 3 with all the character development...[:'(]
i also showed this to a young lady at work who is half Japanese. While she thought it was hilarious, she doesn't speak the language herself but got the URL to show to her Mom (who DOES speak Japanese and works with computers...)[8D]

the third chapter:
Tank 1: I'm the youngest brother!
Tank 2: I'm the middle brother!
Tank 3: I'm the oldest brother!
All: We three are here!
BOOM
...
Tank 1&2: We are both here!
BOOM
...
Tank 1: ...what the heck?
End of intro.
Yawaraka(soft) tank: (didn't get the yawaraka tank's first part that well, but here's most of what I gathered):
Today's another full advance. Hello, I do not like to try very hard when it comes to fulfilling the duty I was manifactured for... I am Yawaraka tank!
(looking at tank) Oh! Here comes my superior, 90madeshiki (?not sure about the name)!
Tank: Yo, baldy.
Yawaraka Tank: Hello sir, you look fresh and eager for battle as always!
Tank: Yeah well, I trained for this you know... I'm a weapon so, me being eager to win is normal... Actually it's your over-soft body I'm concerned about! You never fight anybody! With you it's always retreat, retreat, retreat... the hell? (Yawaraka tank is not there anymore) HEY! Listen to your superior until he's finished speaking you impolite jerk!
Yawaraka Tank: But sir, I'm doing what I'm best at doing...retreating!
INTRODUCTION OF FANMAIL:
Tank 1: Introduction of Fanmail! ...oh? My brothers are here!
Tank 2&3: We're back!
Tank 2: Ahh... it was so haaard... I landed right in the middle of Chiba prefecture... (then blabbers off incredibly fast can't make out what he's saying, but its of little consequence since halfway through he gets eaten by a kitten)
Tank 1: Today's letter is from someone in Saitama City, Saitama prefecture, named Kouriki Tou-san(not sure)
"Hello, Yawaraka sensha (tank) always keeps me amused. The other day, when I was making sweets, I decided to make a Yawaraka Sensha!"
Tank 2: Looks delicious doesn't it? What is it made from?
Tank 1 (reading from letter): This is made from white chocolate. Look, I even installed the tracks!
Tank 1&2: It's pretty similar to us, so we'll retreat together! (not 100% sure about the last part)
There, all done! I love that kitten [:D]

The question we have to all ask ourselves is this...
How in the He$$ did these people kick our butts for as long as they did back in early '42?? I mean really, furry yellow cats that say Picachu and soft tanks??
ARRRRGGG ( running off to the bedroom to hid in shame )
