"Miss Chinese Student"? What of fucks?

cathaarsix May 18 2005, 14:57:39 UTC

well, i was just changing the name for privacy purposes. i could have just put in some generic made-up name too, like Xin-li Feng or something.

Oh, okay. I thought it was really bizarre that it just said "Miss Chinese Student" on it, like it's not even a real Certificate of Champion.

i can verify the veracity of this Certificate of Champion. if only all the documents i dealt with were so meticulously certified...

By the way, did you drink the Hitachino Nest? If so, how was it? How about the other beer I got you?

the Hitachino Nest Beer was pretty interesting. it would not be a flippant exxageration to say that i enjoyed the taste and color. it reminded me of a biterer pilsner, and the color was a rich, unique deep red-amber. never seen anything quite like it.

as for the other one, haven't gotten to it yet. my do so this weekend, and i promise a report. (i imagine i'll like it; i'm a fan of Belgian triples, re-fermented in the bottle)

I'm glad you liked the Nest... it sounds intriguing. Next time I see some I'll pick some up.

Definitely let me know what you think of the other one (the name still slips my mind).

i can't remember the name off the top of my head either, but i'm sure you'd recognize the logo if you saw it at some fancy booze shop in Tally.

unfotunately not; if i had a scanner, i'd just have scanned it in the first place, rather than the above post. it's not that exciting; it's a small (photcopied) form with some fancy Chinese writing, and alot of scrwled hand-written Chinese, and then the English translation (which i reproduced) below it.

does your subject mean "required off color madagascar"?

cathaarsix May 18 2005, 20:39:41 UTC

no; it's the quirky coding we use. it means: "request official Master's degree (Master's transcript is final)"

MTX->R O/E looks like a programming language from the year 3250 in which we have gained the ability to program reality using only our brains and a fruity beverage.
