a much more fiendish buffet value!

i wish there were fewer bad and xenophobic implications re: having a laugh over language. like, i love mistranslations. i was obsessed with the website 'engrish' as a kid and i thought it was the funniest thing i'd ever seen. i would go around showing other people, laughing at HEAVENS. and one day i showed our neighbor, who was asian, and he was like, wait, what the fuck? i still feel ashamed. i hadn't imagined that some people's language differences are used as reasons to mock them as a race, seen as evidentiary support of stupidity/ foreign-ness/alien-ness, or else, i didn't see what i was doing as perpetuating that. but it was! i'm sorry, andy! i was a dumbass twelve year-old. if i tried to speak any language but english, i'd fuck it up worse than anybody on engrish.
