I dunno, that Crap Fork does look pretty crappy. What the hell is it anyways?

I guess it serves a similar purpose to this:

Awesome sausage you've got there, I'll better

Things I've witnessed during my trip through Japan:

Hokkaidou:
A garage named FPOE (in blue letters). For those who don't know it, FPOE is the Austrian right wing nutjob party.


Akihabara, Toukyou:
Dialogue:
in a manga shop:

friend: Dragon Half ga arimasuka? (Do you have Dragon Half [manga])
shop keeper raises eyebrows
shop keeper: Nani?
friend: Dragon Half ga arimasuka?
shop keeper stares stupidly
shop keeper: Nani?
friend: DoRaGoN HaRuFu ga arimasu ka?
shop keeper: Ahh, Doragon Harufu!

Well what do you expect... You weren't saying it correctly...

Similar thing happend to Faf and I last year during E3 when having a conversation about another B3D forum member. Only I couldn't figure out that he was talking about DeanoC simply because his pronunciation for Deano was quite a bit different from mine...

They meant Crab Fork

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

How do you know?
It may have been a fork to scoop poop out of people's butts.

They meant Crab Fork

 

[rabidrabbit]

I thought it was one of those spoons to scoop crap from one's ear, but as it's a fork it is not.

 

[Simon F]

How do you know?

I don't know. There is the small possibility that it's a device that may have featured on "The Endurance", but, it seems to me that Occam's razor says my answer is more likely.

I once spent half an hour in a shop looking for Aloma Oil for my Japanese girlfriend, before realising she meant Aroma Oil.....

 

[Dresden]

You! Invaders! Get you the hot bullets of shotgun to die!

 

[DuckThor Evil]

I don't think the symbols in the fork picture are japanese, but maybe korean.

Here's a pretty funny clip from a Japanese game show. It's a little long, but it gets "lol" funny at some parts.

I am surprised that the Endurance piece doesn't link to Takeshi's Castle.
