- IphtashuFitz, on 06/26/2008, -2/+69I'm so glad to hear that the head-smashed-in buffalo jump complies with handicapped accessibility laws.
- BugBBQ, on 06/26/2008, -3/+67"Head smashed in Buffalo jump" is a real place... and that is how you say it.
We do speak English in this province of Canada, so it's not a translation issue. The place is called that because hundreds of years ago the natives would scare stampedes of Buffalo off the side of a cliff... hence, smashing in their heads... so much for the nature aware, "kill only what you need" native North Americans. - decepticrat, on 06/26/2008, -2/+64My favorite part about the "Monk Chat" one is the upside-down sign on the tree that says "Present"... very zen.
- Surferess, on 06/26/2008, -8/+58"Intercourse Discomfort Report Center" That is a good one!
- jbrand45, on 06/26/2008, -6/+49"Let us do the birds friend" This some kind of ancient Chinese fetish?

- jbrand45, on 06/26/2008, -2/+33There's no reason to believe that they still didn't use everything from the animals that fell off the cliff. That's a lot of meat they could dry out, fat they could render down, and bone/horn to use for tools, ornamentation and spear/arrow heads.
I think of this as like the Costco of the age . . . instead of getting just one buffalo at a time, they buy in bulk. - SkippyDoorknob, on 06/26/2008, -1/+30Sponsored by KY
- MattFid, on 06/26/2008, -7/+36I've heard women aren't allowed on the swings in the Pontiff Playground.
Oh, and no birth control. - BetterOffEd, on 06/26/2008, -1/+27"Pontiff Playground" is technically not in New Orleans. It's in Metairie (a suburb), and is named after Wally Pontiff. He was an LSU baseball player (and a damn good one at that) who sadly died WAY too young at the age of 21. He was slated to play ball for the Oakland athletics after graduation.
Not posting for sympathy, just for clarity and continuity. - inactive, on 06/26/2008, -1/+27Do you call the intercourse discomfort center during or after intercourse.
- rald84, on 06/26/2008, -1/+22"Head-Smash-In / Buffalo Jump" is what the last image (#7) says. which is in alberta, CANADA.
wtf? somebody explain if this is a place name ?
nevermind ...

- Ibox, on 06/26/2008, -2/+19Whats Kentucky have to do with it?
- IphtashuFitz, on 06/26/2008, -2/+18So is there now a handicapped ramp on the cliff for wheelchair bound buffalo?
- BlackTye, on 06/26/2008, -1/+17www.engrish.com
Endless entertainment. - Tyrghast, on 06/26/2008, -3/+18Dominating room = bondage fetish house? I sure hope so.

- robrohan, on 06/26/2008, -1/+16The Chinese one is actually pretty close. If you translate 做 to something more like "be like" instead of "do" it reads like "Let us be like the bird's friend" which makes more sense.
Yours truly,
Buzz Killington - cl2yp71c, on 06/26/2008, -1/+14Wonder if the Monks tolerate flamers.
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/26/2008, -1/+13Explain makes less funnier.
- wonderbriefs, on 06/26/2008, -1/+13Apparently he experienced some uncomfortable sex while in KY.

- BoneheadFarker, on 06/26/2008, -0/+10The last one was in Alberta. A lot of places are named after Native phrases. They don't always translate though...
- eNyoron, on 06/26/2008, -1/+11Say, do you call the intercourse discomfort center during or after intercourse?
- ucbmckee, on 06/26/2008, -1/+11Actually, this is something we DO know. The native americans were just as wasteful as everyone else. When times were plenty (which was especially when they would use these buffalo jumps), they'd often just take the choice cuts of meat. Why bother with liver, if you have a winter's supply of good muscle meat? In many cases, they wouldn't even bother harvesting all of the buffalo they'd killed this way... it was too much to carry back to the camp or they just took what they felt was sufficient. We know this by excavating the remains at these buffalo jumps, the middens in the camp, and other clues.
Thx minor in archeology. - inactive, on 06/26/2008, -2/+12wouldn't that be ROR?
- sarixe, on 06/26/2008, -0/+9notting atoll
- cwmather, on 06/26/2008, -4/+13Dominating room?! How did they get the sign off my basement door without me knowing! Those cheeky monkeys!!
- BugBBQ, on 06/26/2008, -0/+9lol... yeah, ok. Fair enough, I stand corrected. But it's too bad Wal-Mart wouldn't run some of its customers off a cliff (and many of them are the size of a Buffalo).
- WoogieHauser, on 06/26/2008, -0/+9Too funny, but too few photos!
- Evicted, on 06/26/2008, -2/+11actually, the name refers to a blackfoot story where a boy wants to go watch the buffalo fall from below and gets his head smashed in by the hundreds of airbourne bison. The name is even more ***** up than it initially seems.
- Aroundtheworls, on 06/26/2008, -4/+12Looks like China has more than its fair share of strange signs: http://winterson.com/2008/03/sign-sign-everywhere- ...
- fas2, on 06/26/2008, -1/+9Rap out loud?
- ghostrunnerdig, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7My guess is that you call the intercourse discomfort center after you've spent some time in the Dominating Room
- chrissku, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8Welcome to Monk Chat
- inactive, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8only self immolation.
- NathanielJ, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7Wouldn't help you much here, since none of the signs shown were Japanese.
- MLisa, on 06/26/2008, -1/+7Intercourse = talking, discussing
- sleepwalkers, on 06/26/2008, -0/+6Ravishing old ladies?
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/26/2008, -0/+6Do they handle sprained wrists?
- fas2, on 06/26/2008, -0/+6Slip carefully! :D
- lattin1, on 06/26/2008, -0/+6I saw better signs on my way to work everyday in Beijing. "Water after piss and sh*t." Translation: Please flush the toilet.
- smeenz, on 06/26/2008, -2/+7"Let us love our bird friends"
- Jebra, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5I'm fluent in Mandarin, and the thing is most translations come out strange because some one just chunks it into some random online translator. Chinese is a language that just doesn't translate well and one error ***** the whole thing up and makes it ridiculous. And that's why anything translated into english always sounds odd, even though Chinese is such a beautiful language.
