I took another episode of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and gave it different translations to what they were really saying.

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
I took a scene from episode 35 and added subtitles to give a completely different conversation.

Getting the flu
.jpg)
The flu has struck this family but unlike ‘Chicken Little’, I still remember the home remedies my grandparents used. My youngest was out for a couple of days and my oldest son started showing signs of the flu last Monday and had sweated out the virus by Tuesday and was back to school on Thursday. My wife now has the flu but with me working she still takes care of the boys until I get home to take over so she can rest. I started getting the flu a few days ago but after drinking a ¼ bottle of NyQuil and going to bed early did the trick for me. Plus, eating a lot of fried onions and bell peppers. And as I’m typing this out right now, my wife is sleeping off her sickness as well. Just like my grandfather use to say when someone in the family got sick, ‘Curing is a lot more better and quicker than living with the treatment.’

Duke beat North Carolina State, 49-28
.jpg)
Duke played at Carter-Finley Stadium, home of NC State University on October 10, 2009. By the time the game ended nearly all the State fans had left while the rest that stayed did trash talking to the their team as they left the field. Giving Duke football its first ACC road win since beating North Carolina to close the 2003 regular season and ending a 20-game losing streak.
Pepsi in Glass Bottles
I was in a grocery store called Farmer Foods in Louisburg, North Carolina today and as I was walking down on of the isles I notices something I haven't seen in this country since I was in my 20's. Coca Cola still carries Coke but in the small 12 ounce bottles in a very limited supply and area but overall since all soda companies started using plastic bottles instead of glass, the taste is noticeable different. I bought a couple of glass bottles of Pepsi and it was the best I've had in a lot time.

A night out on the Town
.bmp)
We went to a church event at Durham, NC. The festivities started around 9 PM and didn't finish until after 12 midnight. After a stop at the gas station for gas and drinks, we finally returned home by 1:30 AM. Only to get back up at 6:30 to get the kids on the bus for school. All in all it was a great event and everyone had a great time. Even for those who fell asleep near the end of the event..jpg)

Take your son to work day
My son has always been wanting to go to work with me. And so I took him with me, not using the company truck but our own car, to re-pull a store. Before going home we were organizing our backroom area where he wanted to prove he could do hard work. Afterwards as we went home he fell asleep from all of his hard work. It reminds me of the times I use to help out on my Uncles farm every Summer with the crops and taking care of the farm animals. The good old days.

A Vendor's story
One of the joys of working as a vendor is that I get to meet other vendors and trade stories ranging from good to worst situations of dealing with a lot of people and store personnel and their policies. Due to the company I work for I have to leave out a few details like the stores name as well as the vendor and who he works for because this is his story I am telling. But the rest is all there.
A few months ago this vendor had a huge sale going on with at least 3 pallet displays throughout the store. By Friday at 5 PM he was still working the store and looked like he was going to be there for a couple of more hours. He had about 4 pallets of product in the backroom and the way the sale was going, with customers buying up everything in sight, he figured he would be out of everything by morning. He talked with the manager, who was heading home and an off-schedule delivery was going to come in the next day.
As the vendor was loading a cart to start filling up all the displays again, the female assistant manager and a guy on the stock crew were complaining about the vendor’s product in the backroom. They went on and on about how he had too much merchandise and how it doesn’t really sell at all. The assistant manager stated that she was going to turn down all of his deliveries until all the merchandise was gone or picked up. The stock crew guy was basically a parrot repeating everything she said.
He told them he had another delivery coming in tomorrow morning. They both went ballistic, threatening to kick him out of the store, call his boss as well as telling the store manager. He paid them no attention and carried on with his job. Close to 8 PM as he was leaving the store, all his back stock in the backroom was gone and the 3 pallets on the sales floor were down to 1 pallet. As the vendor was leaving she came to him complaining about empty shelf spaces and being out of certain items which he just smiled and went home.
He showed up at the store the next morning as the delivery truck arrived and he said it was a very different atmosphere. The assistant manager was there but she didn’t talk to him or to be more precise, she stayed far away from his as she could. The receiver told him that after he left last night she called the store manager to complain and tried to get the vendor kicked out of the store. What she didn’t know is that his wife came in to do grocery shopping and called him about the condition of the store. Mainly because the vendor’s boss came into the store about hour before the vendor went home and called the store manager to inform him of the condition of the store, the assistant manager threats and to confirm the delivery would be there as early as possible.
So when the assistant manager called her boss, he already knew the whole story. And by the end of the phone conversation she wished she hadn’t called him. The receiver said that she was in her booth before the store opened and heard the manager, who came in on his day off, chewing out the assistant manager. He even went after the stock crew guy and threatened to fire them both if they screw-up again. And by Sunday night, all 10 pallets that came in the day before were all gone with about 6 more pallets coming in Monday morning. The vendor says he still works that store and the assistant manager still stays away from him.
