It\'s funny \'cause there\'s a Pakistatnian restaurant in town called \'Gaylord\'.
I always find this product amusing.

I think this stuff from our childhoods should be viewed the same as we might have seen it through a child\'s eyes. I give these two examples 10 out of 10! It ain\'t clever to laugh at the name Gaylord in front of your grown up acquaintances, but inside you should laugh as loud as you like. Noone will ever remove the child from me!
Gaylord is (or used to be) quite a common name for Indian resturants, besides which it\'s just in the last 20 or so years that gay has developed into it\'s current meaning.
If I remember correctly Gaylord is one of the possible translations for Nawab. (Of course I could be completely off track there.)

Well, to me \"Gaylord\" will always be something to reguard with utter hilarity.
No one (or any medication) is going to force me to grow up!
I have no comment to make about revs child problem though :~(
I have no idea about the Indian connotations of the word either...

I was thinking that as I almost wrote \'noone will take the child from me\' or something. I\'ve confused myself now! Perhaps I meant I\'m keeping a child and using its eyes and noone can have it back. Perhaps not. I think this is a Zen puzzle that will ultimately find me an awakening :drool:
Mark the calendars everyone! A day never to be forgotten! lol

Now if there was some footage of native-speakers of English speaking Chinese and making a mess of it that would really be funny!!!
My Irish buddy wanted some dry noodles and wound up saying, \'give me some fu@kin# noodles\'. Pretty funny! Or when he wanted some jelly tea and basically said he wanted to shag the hell out of the service lady. My personal favorites (yet very humiliating) were when I wanted to ask where the skin department was at the hospital and I actually asked the ladies attending the information desk where the arse department was. I\'ve asked for breast milk from the counter chick at Mc Donalds when all I wanted was some mayonaise and I\'ve said that I f00k$d a cat when I was trying to say that I had a common cold.
For the first 6-12 months of learning Chinese and speaking Chinese native-English speakers go around swearing and basically making fools of themselves. Really the Chinese are very tolerent and although you know they want to burst out with laughter they\'re very good at keeping themselves composed. Funny ... Very funny! lol

Yeah. I remember when I first started learning Korean. I wanted to say “excuse me” if I bumped into someone or did something rude. But what I was saying was “Downtown”. It was two or three weeks before one of my Korean friends stopped me.lol
\"Jules, Why do you keep saying that?\" lol lol

Can you take a look at my penis please?
Oh I just remembered... A mate of mine was speaking Chinese on the phone to the scooter mechanic and asked him to please take a look at the engine. Everyone started pi$$ing themselves because he\'s actually said, \'please take a look at the penis\'. This is true! The word for engine in Chinese sounds very similar to the word for penis. Also, be careful when you say that you\'re looking for face masks to the shop attendant that you don\'t say, \'I\'m looking for a blowjob\'. I learnt my lesson from that one. lol

I remember a cartoon I used to watch as a child called Ox Tales. One of the characters in that was a gorilla called Gaylord. This was apparently based on a Dutch comic strip so it\'s not that surprising. This must have been about the time when the word was starting to have connotations (that\'s a big word for me )
