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

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)
