Marvelous!

The touch of the legs is really nice even if they look like they don't have any bones in them.

Darcy કહ્યું...

I think it's a little creepy. Is the woman dead? What's going on in that gondola?

Fascinating, though.

Balfegor કહ્યું...

Interesting that some of the matchboxes have horizontal text reading right to left, and others (like the one here), reading left to right. I guess the switch must have been occurring in that time frame.

"What's going on in that gondola?"

We say "gondora."

Is this image continuing yesterday's blog theme?

Japanese saying "pork barrel."

It eventually wears them down.

Just keep out of reach of children.

Sex. Booze. Food. Mountains. Sunsets. Tea rooms.

I thought this had been posted by James Rileks.

So, I guess that transliteration process actually includes the lack of "l"s in Japanese?


Gondora = Gondola

Gojira = Godzilla

Howl's (Moving Castle) = Hauru

wv: sessesse
(In Catalan theththeththe.)

Ah so, you are surprised I speak your language?
You see, I was educated in your country at, U.C.R.A.?

Coplas!

Vintage Eastern European matchbox labels.

That's what I was wondering. Shouldn't there be crime scene tape around that gondora?

Darcy કહ્યું...

I'm glad someone else sees that, Eric! Or are you teasing? ;-)

Yep. You can see the syllables used here. No L's.
