A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere

[tarkalak]

Sorry, sorry. Courdn't resist the mix of Rs and Rs.

OT: A long time ago a friend of mine have brought me to a lecture about the work of the 4 Greatest architects of US, Loyd included. It was pretty impressive work.

Although the major thing I remembered was the lecturer's complain that the coffee was too strong and he had to add in water. I didn't had the luxury to fix mine when I was in the US.

Tarkarak-san read this AAR first thing on forum. Very amusing. Morare go up. Work onry srightry down.

Even adopted Engrish at work. Row Rever Romanian Manerger, Meringey, ... Boss-san raughed once. Not sure why. Probabry boss rever mandatory humour removar operation stirr pending. Or maybe Row Rever Romanian Boss-san show sons-of-Dracura thooths to resident surgeon.

[Cap Mandrake]

One time Mandarake-san say "HAI!" every time vote yes at board meeting. Everyone raugh but eventuary kick Mandarake-san off board and put womans on board because too many testicurhs on board or something.

[Cap Mandrake]

Here good idea Takarak-san for company Christmas party. Takarak-san ask Romania-mens boss if OK to sing Frosty Snowman at party...then sing with Gypsy accent and stearh some of presents. Romania-mens boss probabry give Takarak-san big raise.

Hai, that-ah not even worst part. Worst part when start use idiotic business jargons...rike "Drirr down" or "burning pratform" or "IB&R" (Incurred but not recorded) or perhaps most idiotic "sociarize" which-ah simpry mean to terr everyone something. No, wait, Mandarake-san think of worse expressions rike "best practice" which basicarry mean take away arr of support staff and put in fancy buirding with indoor prants where nobody answer damn terephone...or absorute worst......"upgrade" which mean put in new software nobody use yet at 07;30 on Monday morning and compreteary screw up entire system so everyone work with cray tabrets and sticks arr day.

Not a good idea. Rear Romania furr of actuar Gypsy. Stear erectricar cabres to serr as scrap. Son-of-Dracura-san think Tarkarak-san make fun of him. Show sons-of-Dracura thoots immediatry.

But Tarkarak-san has better idea. Great CEO Boss-san is Indian. Once in two years come visit office. Everyone put shirt on and pretend very busy. [:(]

Next time that ah-happen Tarkarak-san pretend Indian: wash in Gang, go to work with Brown-mens crouthes and shoot CEO Boss-san in regs, rike rear Indian.

Wah back on. Mandarake-san forget what say aftah rong vacation but just say what-ah hahppen on 7-31-42(d).

Japan-mens make up pran to bring prosperity to Tonga Isrands. It-ah just seem rike good idea and besides, smarr Arrried-dog garrisons probabry good at buirding things aftah give up. Arready have Mexican standoff on Vavva'u with Arried-dogs in controrh but airfierd pretty much broken. Japan-mens pack up troops from Suva and Pago Pago and head for Eua. This-ah when fun start.
