"My Report on the Cold War"
The cold war happened in the winter. They did not have sweaters or jackets back then (they weren't invented yet) so they were indeed very cold (this is where the phrase "It's cold in here" originated). The war was over the boiling tapioca mix which was kept over a fire and used to soak in, much like the present day Jacuzzi. Some people thought it was too hot, others thought it was too cold. These two major groups separated into parties who named themselves the "Republicans" and the "Democrats" ("repu" from the Latin "too hot" and "demo" from the Latin "no way!")

The following are actual English subtitles appearing in Hong Kong films:
I am darn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.
Fatty, you with your thick face have hurt my instep.
Gun wounds again?
Same old rules: no eyes, no groin.
A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries.
Darn, I'll burn you into a BBQ chicken
Take my advice, or I'll spank you a lot.
Who gave you the nerve to get killed here?
This will be of fine service for you, you bag of the scum.
I am sure you will not mind that I remove your toenails and leave them out on
the desert floor for ants to eat.
Quiet or I'll blow your throat up.
I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out! I will surround their house by myself.
You daring lousy guy.
Beat him out of recognizable shape!
Yah-hah, evil spider woman! I have captured you by the short rabbits and can
now deliver you violently to your doctor for a thorough extermination.
I have been scared silly too much lately.
I got knife scars more than the number of your leg's hair!
Beware! Your bones are going to be disconnected.
The bullets inside are very hot. Why do I feel so cold?
How can you use my intestines as a gift?
Greetings, large black person. Let us not forget to form a
team up together and go into the country to inflict the pain of our karate feets on some of the giant lizard persons.
Your western eyes will be fingered from your face.
This hot sword will pierce your family dynasty.
The Americans will not save you for Christmas.
Both of you will die when the sun hits the bell.
Feeling sexual we will invade into your women.
You always use violence. I should've ordered glutinous rice

Ok, second day on the job at Lake Tahoe Online:
I was there, by myself I should add, answering calls e-mails and the occasonal discruntaled user that came to the office in person from 9 to 5 today. The questions were on everything and I had only 40 minutes of training the day before: wireless connections, credit cards, using e-mail, dial-up, ISDN, ect. I could answer only about half of them, but it was cool how the people were after it was fixed. BTW the regular office phone was down (pacbell said they couldn't get someone out to fix it until Monday) so I probably didn't get as many phone calls as I normaly would (thank God). So, now I have to work on the two reports which are due Monday in Spanish and Bio, also all of last weeks PreCalc homework ~ wow!
