Daidokoro, the Greatest Samurai to Walk the Land...
So on ZUG (comedy site I found by accident and loved once it mentioned Whole Foods...even if it wasn't totally complimentary...) there's a new project going on. Readers are asked to submit suggestions for single-character Chinese tattoos, ones that mean something you probably wouldn't want tattooed to your arm. And then there'll be a compilation of them, with false translations like "peace", "friendship", etc.
Reading this I instantly thought of the scene in Moonchild where this Australian guy is bragging about the tattoo he got. He doesn't know what it means, or even what it was supposed to mean (probably got it when he was drunk, the loser; he dies soon after you meet him). But he's still saying it's awesome. Then there's a close-up of the tattoo, and the subtitles helpfully supply that it reads "kitchen". Gackt reads it and assures the Aussie, "It's the name of a fucking famous samurai in Japan." Pardon the French, Gackt said it, not me. Anyway, since theni have actually wanted to geta tattoo of the word "kitchen". It would be a nice tribute, I think. And of course, when anyone asked me about it, it would go something like this...
Person: Cool tattoo. What's it mean?
Me: Kitchen.
Person: Wha?
Me: It means kitchen.
Person: That's...cool... *wanders away with a dazed look*

Of course, people do that when meeting me anyway.

PS - I'll bet nobody noticed. "Daidokoro" means "kitchen". HAHAHAHAHA...
