is there no wonder why my "ingrish" is not so good? this is a t-shirt i saw. there really is no reason for this kind of bizarre string of english words, yet this phenomenon continues into the 21st century. lots of folks wear coats, sweaters, and shirts that have meaningless logos and words; sometimes, with no recognizable words. i've even seen this on billboard ads and signs. there is an adidas ad campaign here with the motto: "impossible is nothing". i do not know if this is intentional or not.

Yeah we have the same inane adidas campaign here. An ad involves a battalion of lillipution-like soldiers trying to a basketballer from a slam-dunk by tie-ing him up with tiny ropes. I think it's the little guys who are attempting the impossible (and failing).
I'm enjoying your blog dude, thanks for the great pics, M.

Sorry, that should read "trying to stop a basketballer". M.
