The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I am starting a contest in my journal - see if you can un-Engrish the famous saying or proverb. Depending on the difficulty (in my opinion) you could win 50 to 200 favor for your society from Limbus Patrum.

Here is the way it is basically going to work. Using Google Translate (http://translate.google.com) I will take a famous saying or proverb, translate it to Chinese, then to Japanese and then back to English.

Whatever the results of that translation YOU need to figure out what the original saying or proverb was.

For example:

Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

In Engrish becomes:

To go to bed early, early early humans, healthy and abundant smarter.

Your job is to come up with the original saying based on the Engrish. No hints will be given.

Answers need to be sent as comments in my journal - first one that wins gets the favor. If you're not in a society yet, no worries, just remind me when you get inducted and I'll send the favor to your society.

Any questions?

Oh yes, and for the lazy, the game will be in my Journal in this section.

Only one guess so far? Common' people, it should be easy favor!

We have some good guesses but no right answers yet.

Brush up on your history, folks. Give it a try!

Still no correct guesses. I'll let it roll one more day before moving on to the next Engrish challenge.

Ok, no winners on the last one. The answer, as well as a new game is posted in my journal.

Sulks already won the new contest and thus 100 favor for Chateaus Orleans!

New contest will be posted soon!

Ok, game #3 is posted in my journal. Enjoy!

#3 went too fast. Extra credit question is in my journal.

#4 Game is up and ready for your guesses - go to my journal to play!

Sulks won that one in mere seconds.

Extra credit bonus Engrish is up for your perusal.

Game #5 is now posted in my journal!

Wow.. Pagan already won that one. I have to make these tougher and less Googleable. :p

Extra credit Engrish will be up shortly.

Game #6 is in my journal...

Ok, posted an extra credit Engrish... enjoy!

Extra credit question #6 has everyone stumped so far. go take a look and see if you can un-Engrish the lyrics:

Hint: The band originated from San Francisco in the late '70s and early '80s, and gained popularity as a pop/hard rock band in the mid-'80s. The Engrish lyrics are from their most popular song, which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Charts in 1984.

Still looking for a correct answer.

Keep your ears open...

More people needed!
