Some of the best:

a mysterious thirst-quencher known as “The Jew’s Ear Juice.”
extra-large sizes sometimes come in “fatso” or “lard bucket” categories.
Racist Park, a cultural attraction that has since been rechristened minorities Park.

Heh, well I hope they leave some signs intact or create a museum or something. It is such a waste to see such amusing language disappear completely.

The slideshow has some good ones, like this &, as previously mentioned,

To embed something with the [img] tag, it has to be an actual image and not .html smiley

Slow down Beavis. Give people five minutes to fix their post before going all Anal Vuzman on themsmiley

Sorry, but I'm so often on the receiving end of his rectal rummagings, that I couldn't help but abuse this brief window of oppurtunity to give something back. Also, while we're at it, the meme is "Settle down, Beavis" which I now will do! smiley

btw, I've fixed the spoiler tag so that it now also works like the url tag. You can write ['sp= to give the spoiler a title. It is also possible to place img tags inside the spoiler tag for the effect in the post above.

Love the article. I'm a big fan of weird english. I posted a BBC article on Chinglish and the Olympics a year or two ago (I think the topic is referenced in this article too).

However, I remember seeing a cool list of signs and notices from Moscow a while back. It'd be cool if someone would be able to find that. (I'll try myself when I have time)
