Wow. Took me a while to post this. Yeah, I’m back from Venice, in fact I was already back 2 weeks ago. I was busy sorting out the 900 pictures I shot / working / doing anything productive / playing Neverwinter Nights like a madman / procrastinating as always. PHEW. Now that I’m reaching a state of complete boredom and utter jealousy because Ruki got quite the huge exposure here (I’m joking, he really deserves it, unlike me), I finally find some time and motivation to come back to my blog.

I have now a great opportunity to share this absolutely wonderful experience that was my trip to Venice. I will reiterate it so often you’ll scream HAZUKASHII SERIFU KINSHI after every second line. Although… it might not be of any interest now that there are (at least) two people who covered their ARIA-inspired pilgrimage to Venice already. But I want my own share of popularity and UNIQUENESS as well so here goes. (Is this too much pseudo-bitterness for you? Aww.) Took me almost a day to do it all (especially the image links and their alt/description texts were a pain in the neck)…

Well, as you can already figure out from the title, I haven’t done much on this blog these past few days – as expected, I won’t be able to focus on it until I’m done with Venice. Of course, with my departure being only 2 days and 7 hours away, I’m so eager to arrive there and to fulfill one my dream of visiting Venice. I just hope the weather won’t be as bad as it has been all day here, the rain has started and stopped at least 7 times today, and right now it’s pouring as well… Meh, I want at least one day of blue sky in Venice.

But before I start digressing (this is, of course, only a filler post), I’ll get straight to the main content.

I probably enjoy laughing and slandering about those bootlegs as much as you do – unless you have been victim of buying bootlegged stuff, then I pity you. There are uncountable numbers of bootlegs out there it’s not even funny BUT, there are always some rare pearls that deserve to be highlighted for a major amount of lulz. An IRC friend of mine browsing /a/ showed this to me minutes ago and I just couldn’t stop laughing at it. You might know it already, it might be at least 100 years old, but I still thought it worth sharing. Here it is:

Please, take your time, click on this image and read the descriptions.

It is astonishing how much imagination those bootleggers can have. The name and the description sure are… “original”. New Century Sky Hawkfighter, I think that’s a new entry in my “bootleg-English” dictionary for Neon Genesis Evangelion. Seriously, this is hilarious. ^^

P.S. What are “Unidentified Linbolings”?

P.S.S. <@TheRavenIsUnskill> China: Destroying the basis of Intellectual Property since the late 80s. QFT.

P.S.S.S. Did I forget to mention that I was bored enough to start watching Code Geass? Meh, I just wonder what’s in ep 13 that makes everyone BAWW and YIFF about. I’m about to see it for myself soon anyway… zzz

…a blog might be craving for attention. After the jump, etc.
