Anyone familiar with Chinese lettering?

[Bat Boy]

I need to see "Pork Fried Rice" written in Chinese characters.

And once I've seen it, I'll tell you why...

[spinbaby]

1. Kind of a hard thing to type

Don't you think?

[Bat Boy]

2. Well, yeah.

But I was hoping for a jpeg or something similiar.

[Zomby Woof]

3. AlI could find was...

Pohk Flied Lice. Doesn't look the same.

[Bat Boy]

5. Ah, you were looking in the "Cartoon Chinese Stereotype Dictionary."

I actually need the real thing.

But thanks...

[Zomby Woof]

7. well, yeah

I borrowed it from you last year... sorry it's late.

[Bat Boy]

10. Do you still have my "Cartoon Italian Mafioso Stereotype Dictionary?"

Been looking, can't find it anywhere.

[Zomby Woof]

12. Fucking Coppola stole it

It is the main reason (besides his daughter's acting) that the Godfather Part 3 sucked rotten cannolis.

[Bat Boy]

16. At-sa no good!

Mama Mia!

[Droopy]

6. LOL!

That's bad, dude. Funny, but bad.

[Zomby Woof]

11. it was fucking tasteless, rude, and immature

All the hallmarks of a ZW post.

18. I worship you!

I bow before your google prowess! You humble me.

So here's why I want it...

I have seen an inordinate amount of my co-workers getting Asian tattoos. "Peace," "Joy," "Tranquility."

They get the tattoo and preen about as if they've become suddenly masters of Eastern mysticism.

I'm going to try to convince one of them to get this tattoo.

[Zomby Woof]

19. BRILLIANT

"Peace, Joy, and with 6 You Get Eggroll!"

Preening... I can only imagine.

[Bat Boy]

21. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

[democracyindanger]

20. That is comedic genius nt

[Bat Boy]

23. Not really...

It's just plain old snarkiness allowed to run unchecked.

I have no social editor. I do, however, have a great deal of fun.:evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

24. our social editor ran off

It was an impossible, thankless job, and we paid shit.

[Bat Boy]

25. You were too generous.

In my experience social editors are prissy little busybodies dedicated to the eradication of good clean fun.

They should be abused whenever possible.

9. Babelfish says...

Simple Chinese: 猪肉油煎的米

Traditional Chinese: 豬肉油煎的米

[Syrinx]

13. apparently there's no such thing as simple chinese

:)

[sally343434]

17. The first character is different

[Syrinx]

22. yeah, you're right

Not real obvious though.

[Bat Boy]

14. And herein lies my problem...

I can't install the Chinese Language pack, so all Chinese lettering appears as blank rectangles. And somehow I don't think that's it...

[koneko]

27. Babelfish

That's a great tool.

I do Japanese, and the characters between the languages overlap.

What Babelfish has given is a literal translation.

Here's the meaning of each individual character, as the Japanese would interpret it. I'm willing to bet that the Chinese probably also see it this way -
Pork Meat Oil Heat Style "Raw Rice"

Another poster posted handwritten characters for BBQ style. The final character of that one is the appropriate one to use for rice that has been boiled/prepared. (It also means "Meal", since rice is their staple food.)

Anyhow, I'm jumping down from my Japanese lectern & hitting the hay. I hope that I didn't spread more confusion. ;-)

26. Ahh...so you want this to happen to some unfortunate

28. What an interesting coincidence

That's funny. How did you find that?

[koneko]

29. When bad tatts happen to good people

I have seen a couple of completely non-sensical characters tattooed onto peoples' body parts, but one story kicks ass.

I was at a party this summer, and this really buff guy had several characters on each arm. One of them was a great meaning, the other one said "ass" - not as in jack-ass, but as in bare-ass.

Then, along comes me, a.k.a. drunken-ass. . . telling him, in front of his friends, what it really meant. I still feel bad about that. :shrug:

32. Asked an "exotic dancer" what her tattoo said...

three chinese (?) characters on the small of her back...

She told me it said "Do Not Enter" but not sure if I believe her. :)
