Today I'm editing a subtitle translation case. It's actually probably my favorite case thus far in my four years of working here. It's for a Mainland Chinese TV series, very melodramatic, quite riveting. There's one character who's a Chinese girl who's supposed to have grown up in the US. As a result, she peppers her speech in Chinese with English words and phrases. And every time she does, the English is spoken by a dubbed-over voice that is COMPLETELY different from the actress's own voice. It's actually very funny. Presumably the actress couldn't say the English dialogue without an accent, which is why they went for the dubbing method. But now every time she speaks English, it's sort of like when you watch a Disney musical and the singing voice is obviously different from the speaking voice.

I am shocked that China lets you guys translate anything for them. Are they not paranoid enough to realize you're government propaganda dispensers peppering all your translations Taiwanese mind control drugs

Wait, is this a euphemism?

I'm too scared to look up "stroke" and "have a stroke" in the urban dictionary...

I may have used it wrong. I'm running on very little sleep.

I asked him if his brain melted. Again.

I'm simply raising suspicion of possible double and triple entendre, you are actually using the correct phrasing for what you intended, I'm just twisting it for my own amusement.

Get some sleep!

There are other people at this salad bar, now what are they gonna use for croutons? Typical shellfish behaviour, typical Sami Zayn.

That feeling when you spend the entire morning embroiled in political debates and then have to go SSJ4 to get everything done in the afternoon

Dei · Jul 21, 2016

Let's be honest. If you weren't engaging in political debates, you would have been on imgr anyways. [emoji14]

Imgur's a lot easier to multitask with. Copying and pasting doesn't take as much time as typing out stuff.

I thought this was going to be another one of those "guess what else the water treatment plants don't remove" stories.

To all the people across every nation
Turn it up and give me some more

A local TV icon has passed. Bill "Chilly Billy" Cardille of WPXI in Pittsburgh has died at the age of 87. You may know him as the TV reporter from Night of the Living Dead, but for years, he was the host of Chiller Theater on Saturday nights. The show was so popular, it delayed Pittsburgh getting Saturday Night Live by several years.

A little sample with Barbara Feldon, another Pittsburgh native...

I felt the same when I found out Sir Graves had passed. That's a chunk of someone's childhood that just ended.

The amount of THC in the water means that anyone who moves there because of it believes in Stoner Homeopathy.

Gruebeard · Jul 22, 2016

Well, yesterday was my Friday, since I do not want to work during what may be Southern Ontario's hottest day in decades.

. . . But it's only 31 (88) degrees outside right now.

I see our heat finally made it to Ontario. Give it a few days; you'll be deluged by the rain we're getting this weekend.

Gruebeard · Jul 22, 2016

Well, save some for us. And I guess we ought to hope Winnipeg doesn't hoard it all in the Red River.

Emrys · Jul 22, 2016

Meh, they need something to whine about.

Dave · Jul 22, 2016

-heh- Here in Omaha right now it's high 90's with heat index from 102 to 116.

I'm going to play softball tonight now that I know I'm not going to keel over and die.

Cheesy1 · Jul 22, 2016

97 today, then in the 100's for the next week.

Every day when I take a shower, I have to share with at least 3-4 of them.

Yeah, with the humidex, it's supposed to feel like 107. That's the bit that hasn't been reached here in decades and why I'm skipping work.

All he cats wait patiently outside my shower. For Strider the Legit Boss Cat, told them "The large human is cleaning itself. Soon it will feed us."

Tinwhistler · Jul 22, 2016

it was supposed to be 100 today, with a heat index of 110.

It's currently 90, and doesn't really feel that hot out to me. Then again, I'm from Texas
