Best of Chinglish

One of the things that makes me chuckle from time to time here is the Chinglish ranging from incomprehensible gibberish on a t-shirt to accidentally insightful poetry plastered over a city wall.  Here of some of the highlights...


"START KILLINGWHALE"
                  A wonderful t-shirt.

"Minutemen meatpuppets descendents angst."
                  Another great t-shirt.

"IF"
                  My favorite Chinglish t-shirt.

"When you come with burning lamp of pain in your hand I can see your face and know you as biss."
                   This gem was written all over my bedsheets when I first got to Kaili.

"Distinctive feature mutton the minority did eat."
                  This was a text from a Chinese friend who couldn't really speak English and just tried to googletranslate his text.

"Fuitable for men, women and childrenchoiceness raw material produced meticulous pleasant to the palate give first choose treasure."
                  This was on a box of cookies.

"Collect myriad dotes on the infinitely superior to one body."
                  This was the motto of the construction company building the shopping mall by my house.  The other motto was more grammatically correct, but meaningless all the same...
"Because the only, so the first."
