Thursday, June 1, 2006Mistaken Identity
Apparently in Indonesia there is some sort of columnist whose name is ewink. Here is his blog.
If you didn't already know, my Yahoo! Messanger ID is ewink. I don't know why people don't read profiles (as my picture is on mine and it's obvious I am not from Indonesia) but I am constantly bombarded with messages from people from Indonesia!
The problem is that I don't speak Indonesian, and most of them speak little if any English, so it's hard telling them about their mistake!
And I can't be as rude as I'd like to be, so I can't just tell them to bugger off!
So, if anyone knows some Indonesian, I'd love to learn how to say 'I'm just a fat white American. Sorry.'

Dyckerson feels your pain. There is actually another Mighty Blog. But it's in English. And it hasn't been updated in 30 years.
Yes well....I stole mine from a TV show of the same name. It's not bad because I get the hits from people looking for them.
However when I searched on the net...there were more. Oh well, we just all think the same.
Can't help you with Indonesian, but here's Portuguese.
'Sou somente um americano branco gordo. Pesaroso.'
Russian:
'Я - только жирный белый американец. Жаль. '
Norwegian:
'Jeg er akkurat en fet hvit Amerikaner. Trist.'
Dutch:
'Ik ben slechts een dikke witte Amerikaan. Droevig.
German:
'Ich bin nur ein dicker weißer Amerikaner. Erbärmlich'.
French:
« Je suis juste un gros Américain blanc. Désolé. »
And, of course, Spanish:
'Soy apenas un Americano blanco gordo. Arrepentido.'
I'll keep working on Indonesian.
Found it:
Saya adalah orang Amerika putih saja yang gemuk.
Maaf.
