thing bout reparations that is odd is nobody speaks about the northern reparations. Qing dynasty China had all the way to up to the mountains in Russia and the port city of Vladivostok. Buncha treaties in the 1860s took all that away. unequal treaties? i don know what that means. Ya win, ya lose. That's how things go.

You need to get in there and dicker. Dicker long and hard and dicker the thicker, like you was John Holmes OD'ed on Viagara.
Either that or it's because you're a round-eye lao wai. Didn't you hear? You owe reparations. Which is what you get to call resentment when you got a PhD. Mark it well with a big ol' M (as in Marcuse, who cooked up a lot of today's stew.)
"The Jing" sounds smutty. Like a Paris streetwalker's lingo. "You make the jing-jing with Fifi, yes?" Try "The Bei." One envisions clipper ships gliding into a placid harbor, with Joe Conrad wiping his brogans after an ill-timed turn round the poop deck. "Lord Jim! Can't ye straddle the rail like a civilized swabbie?"
I used to jing regularly with Betty Lou down in Alabama. Only cost me 10 bucks and doctors fees.

the problem with translation APPs is that i tend to say half my words in English and half my words in Chinese. so it doesn't know if i am speaking Chinese, thus to translate to English, or if i am speaking English, thus to translate to Chinese

I could never figger it out. My ol' bachelor Uncle Ed. Ate spareribs and kielbasa like a pack of taiga timberwolves. But, regular as the rain in Spain, every month when he got his pension check, he'd be off to Bay City "to get my salad tossed."

#1. I am funny (maybe) because it amuses me, not for pay. That way lies the long descent into turning children's party clown.
#2. You have to agree with me, at least in broad outline. I'm either right or I'm dead. But the days of discussion is past. "Reasonable compromise" is the tip of the camel's unlubed you-know-what.
Well might have to think about that. Being funny for money is the hallmark of advanced civililization. All civilizations actually. And the height of culture. Courst jesters i.e. It needn't be any kind of descent. Haven't you checks the brakes on yer shoes lately?

That's a sign from Heaven you're a son of the divine. Either that or you got R&R'ed--- roofied and rolled.

Finish my pint and decide to go because laundry was probly done in dryer nex door. Injun sittin beside me says... `no, no don't leave, I'll by ya nother beer' I says no thanks, gotta go... by time in laudry mat 5 minutes later I was so fucked,... couldn't move, couldn't think and etc. (by the way, I know ya ain't spossed ta say `Injuns' but when you lived for a month at Takla Landing an bucked logs with Charles West all day, ya can call em Injuns) They got as much sense o humour me and Jiaocoma has.

the whole world knows that Candanastan started out as a penal colony for Great Britain's underclassed grammar-thugs. Types for whom unnatural spelling acts were a morbid delight.
