J: Good! Pretty good.
P: I’m sure you mean well. I see we’re wearing our grammar sweatpants today.

Maybe they broke up.

Lucky for me, there’s enough material in-house to start my own. Yesterday, P received a gem of an email promising him “55 Steps to Seduce Girls: A Guide for Meen!” He considered this offer. “On the one hand, seduction of girls! But fifty-five steps is waaay too much work. I’ll pass.”

I’m sure some other Meen! will jump on this offer.

Here are the most notable ones I encountered during my former stint in foreign rights.

You decide which is the stripper, the band or the STD. Personally, I’m wanting to vaccinate myself against both Chungbum AND Vagionakis. Both sound unpleasant.

Chungbum (Korean)

Vagionakis (Greek)

Iztok Zapad (Bulgarian)

This last one always reminds me of Zaphod Beeblebrox, from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which is the only sci-fi I can tolerate.
