O Satan please send me, oti, strat, brian and chris to sasuke. We will sacrafice 6 freerunners in your name! HAHAHAHA! Awesome, hahahaha! All pre Sasuke pep rallies will now include sacrifices lol. Slowest free runner gets the ax, fastest free runner gets sniped! Sarcasm of course, hope no one takes that seriously! As far as translating goes, would it be disrespectful if we tried to just do a babel fish translation? I know it would come out sounding crazy but at least its the thought that counts right?? The G4 contact didnt say anything about paying for who ever they decide on. That whole process is still cloudy and I have no details on that. My whole hope is if we submit straight to Japan, M9 will see it and then bring it to the attention of G4 who will hopefully either 1) bring us over under G4's banner, 2) say its ok for us to come but on our own dime, or 3) say no altogether. But I think M9 will have final say in who gets to go or not. Cramming my video together this weekend. Lots of rehashing since this is going straight to Japan.

I was thinking about this seriously the other day. If Bablefish is really you only option I'd opt not to use it. I was thinking of Lee Yen Chi's entry and it had ENGLISH in it.. Maybe just use words here and there or proven phrases (here's an example of a few) japanese.about.com/library/blsjp.htm But full sentences you are not sure of and don't have someone to verify them.. try to stay away.. for all we know the bablefish might be worse.. LOL

A few weeks ago I was trying to find those 21 obstacle drawings on lee enchi's blog..

You can always pay to have your document professionally translated online. It's expensive, but it might be worth avoiding this:
"Sasuke me interest competition of the 24th Mangia G4 trials evidently avoiding reform Samurai."
Exaggeration? Maybe, but you have to admit, it's not far off.

Why insult him? Gah... you're getting me all worked up again... I had a HUGE friggin post on how irritating this thread is... and how much BS is in it that doesn't need to be... but the stupid computer lost my credentials and erased my post... doesn't mean I'm any less irritated. Can't we just lock this thread since it's obviously not being used how it should?!?

Why even make the joke though? Why bag on someone for a physical appearance you think is "joke-worthy"? How about a statement like "Whoa, what a catch!" or something positive instead of the negativity? It's hard not to, and everyone does it at some point or another, but try to not judge other people. It's not cool.
