Bigger WTF: Bat-Cow was co-created by Grant Morrison.

Grant-Invisibles/Arkham Asylum-fucking-Morrison.

Morrison's... mildly insane. Dude played a song at comic con oh wait, some other convention, that he claimed came from John Lennon's ghost.
Not much he does surprises me anymore.

Given an official contract offer guideline to translate and send on commission, acting as the interpreter between American and Chinese companies. When I read the inquiry back to the American contractor over the phone, he says that he didn't explain the details well enough and needs to go over the particularities of the situation better. I tell him it's "culturally insensitive" to send a flurry of half-cocked e-mails when you're fishing for a work contract, and not to ask me to do this again without getting it all down first. ಠ_ಠ

Hour and a half wasted. Face-fucking-PALM.

But it doesn't take any work to translate stuff! Hell, I can put a bunch of scribbled notes into Google translate and get an instant result! What kind of lazy translator are you?? 

Is there even a Chinese equivalent gesture/saying? I'm trying to think of all the "frustration" slang that I know of, but it's more swearing than facepalm.



EDIT: I just put that text block above into Google Translate, translated to Chinese, and then back into English.

However, this does not need any work to translate something! Hell, I can be a jumble of notes to Google Translate, and get instant results! Is what laziness translation is that you?

In my experience, dearest King, there is no equivalent to the English "facepalm" gesture/saying in Chinese. Just mostly swearing and middle fingers.

Let's see if I can make this more understandable to you via Google Translate...

"In my experience, the most dear king, there is no equivalent to the English "facepalm" gesture / say, in China. Just curse and middle finger."

Do I smell more loanwords?

Yessssss.... dance my little linguistic pretties. soon all the world will speak the horrible abomination of languages, and unity will be upon us! And then we go to the stars.

And from there, we conquer reality.

In a brief bit of WTF/RAEG, I was just given a lecture by my dad. The topic? 'You can't just treat the computer as a friend!'. I know that! YOU ALREADY HAVE GIVEN ME THE SAME LECTURE 5 FREAKING TIMES!

So... You're also supposed to treat it as a lover?

[The Darkling Wolf]

I assume he's referring to treating them weird internet people like they're not all confirmed paedophiles and murderers trying to get personal information so they can stab you to death then perform acts of intimacy with the stab wounds and steal your credit card to drink drugs off.

No, its more along the lines of 'you can't just stay in front of your computer all day, you have to make plans with people.' etc, etc.

Seriously, fuck people. But not literally.

People?  Who needs people.  People just want to chat about stupid things like football scores and women.

Seriously, fuck people. But not literally.

Why not? I hear it's fun

We're back to penile fractures. Dear god, how did this topic manage to cover those TWICE?!

Read the thread title.

Somehow the WTF thread has this way of producing its own levels of WTF. Meta-fuck, if you will. I dare not analyse this further, lest it produce meta-meta-fuck, and madness lies down that road.
