Venturous, that photo just made me laugh uncontrollably.

I must be slap-happy.

If hanging out with you lot is lunacy, then sanity is thoroughly overrated.

OMG. I am SO glad I found this thread! I could use a laugh after all these crappy work from school emoticon

 emoticon I've been laughing to the point that I started crying or almost lost my voice--BEST 60 minutes, EVER!

Is the more? *hopeful look*

EDIT: By the way, about the whole elephant thing emoticon it must be common in these...badly dubbed DVDs. Here is a screencap from the Star Wars: ROTS dubbed DVD:

Re: Funny Subtitles on the Chinese DVD


Elephants abound!

Our Vixen Last Domino, a chinese speaker, clued me in on something interesting. the word for "Elephant" and "Vision" sound very close in chinese. I think elephant often means something to do with seeing, sight, or, as in the "elephant machine", a seeing device, a camera!

 emoticon hmmmm, I guess I should finish this little project, eh?

**dusts off screen cap software**
**rolls up sleeves**
it's a tough job, but someone has to do it! emoticon
