Hot diggedy dog

I've never really been in favour of putting clothes on a dog for reasons other than warmth, so I can't decide if this is a cute or cruel way of dressing up a dachshund:

I don't have Chinese fonts installed on my computer, so you'll have to write that out in hanyu pinyin.

Having said that, I can assure you that I can't imagine having the linguistic faculty that making a pun in Chinese would involve.

So the other day I saw this daschund and as it passed I said to my friend, "Doesn't it look lovely? Like you could eat it. In a bun." And the middle-aged woman walking it turned around and said to me, "Yes... In a bun... mmmmmmm." I think I should just keep my mouth shut in future.

Well, it would probably be a bit too heavy for the dog, so, a bit cruel, It looks sorta cute but, Unappetizing . So, no. I don't want to eat it. But really, if you saw a dog dressed like that walking down the street, or running in a park, You'd probably be... Scared. Probably not necessary to dress dogs anyway, but. People will still do it, no matter how silly thier dog looks.

50 Cent's crib

This New York Times article on 50 Cent's life in the sleepy suburb of Farmington, Conn. , is quite wry - But a cook at China Palace said Mr. Jackson could save 10 percent on any order over $30... Ah, the privileges of fame... 10% off Chinese takeout! For the party, Mr. Jackson ordered more than $5,000 worth of liquor, including "a lot of Baccardi," according to the owner of a Farmington liquor store who spoke on the condition of anonymity "to protect his privacy." Sipping Bacardi (ooh, caught a Times misspelling) like it's his birthday. How anonymous could a liquor store owner in a suburban town be? It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...

English words that are borrowed from Malay

I really like studying etymology and the origins of words, and I'm interested in the fairly omnivorous nature of English, which has a huge "borrowed" vocabulary. (Random fact: "bugger" is related to "Bulgaria".) So I thought every now and then I'd put up random lists of words English borrows from various languages - well, besides French, German, and Spanish, or I'll exhaust myself from typing. I thought I'd start with Malay, national language of Singapore. Wikipedia already has a partial list , but I thought I'd come up with a list that also included a few other loan words. The obvious ones are words for things that are indigenous to the region - plants (durian, rambutan, bamboo, sago, camphor ), animals (orang-utan, pangolin, cassowary), and cloth ( gingham , sarong). But there's a whole bunch that're less obvious, even to native English speakers from this region: amok . If you asked me to name one English loan word that'
