Thanks for feeding my habit…

You’re welcome snowman -_-

* I meant o_o
Can’t emote properly, I’m drunk.

But let’s start with a beer

Finally some truth in advertising.

I may have too many but I’m an ice drunk.

Happy to oblige. Sorry about all the yellow snow.

Sheesh i’m piste

Habitual drinkers should get nun.

Go home, sign, you’re drunk!

We put the sign here for your sake.

The only Google hit I got for ‘AERU’ is the ‘African Elephant Research Unit’….the world is a bewildering place.

They have since re-named it The Sapporo Yellow Snow Festival.

PROSHPASHER WORL BE TRESHECUTED

As was said at a Dean Martin roast, Dean Martin drinks moderately.

Dino; “Yes. I always keep a case of Moderately under the bed.”

2019 Sapporo Snow Festival will begin on
Thursday, 31 January
and ends on
Monday, 11 February
All dates are in Australian Eastern Standard Time.

However Wikipedia goes on (Doesn’t it just) to say:
The Sapporo Snow Festival is a festival held annually in Sapporo, Japan, over seven days in February. Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome are the main sites of the festival. Wikipedia.

The disturbing thought passes my mind, that even the Nips don’t know, until the last drunken Japanese attendee, pees on the switchboard and puts the lights out. One might say; “Effectively trimming the wick.”

My favourite quote from the Kanga: “Fadhila za punda ni mateke”

Edit: jugador. Not drunk just tired.

Speaking of Tyred.

Quote: If it has tyres or tits, it will probably, at some stage, cause you trouble.

People have been throwing snowballs at the sign. Habitual drinking spoils their aim.

@Running Comment 4:57,

I would have been happy to translate AERU for you but the webmaster quite unfortunately pasted the “www.engrish.com” right over the top of that first character and I can’t read it clearly. My guess based on experience living in Japan is that it’s an acronym some sort of neighborhood chamber of commerce comprised of local businesses which support the snow festival. Will try to translate the rest in a day or so.

BTW I put a new reply to you about spanferkel and the Fed in the previous post, just FYI.

Thank you for alcoholism, please die safely.

@Running Comment 4:57 am,

FOUND IT FOR YA!!!

Beautiful scenery, too!

OK, here’s the translation: First 2 rows at top mean: “Lots of gratitude to those who love drinking very much!” The 2 kanji characters in the middle mean: “Sponsored by: ” The next line is the sponsor, Kirin Beer, Inc. Final line means: “Made by: Urakawa Yushun Village AERU”. Whether it’s the beer or the sigh that the village makes, I dunno. And from AERU’s website, I can’t figure out if AERU is an acronym or simply means the Japanese very “Aeru” which can mean (depending on which character) “to be able to meet/get together” or “to be able to… Read more »

Thanks – curiously, I believe I have been there, or a similar place nearby…part of a business meeting ‘retreat’ in the late 90’s or so.

Small world.
