I don't want to get arrested, but if I do it better be in a city that has a bar inside of the jail.

quote:(In high school, I was wrongly kept off of the honor roll. When this was corrected, it embarrassed a few of my teachers, and they never forgot. A few years later, I’m at my first year of college, and my sister is at her first year of high school. I’m doing quite well in my classes, and she can’t help but update my former teachers on my progress. But her updates annoy my former math teacher, and he calls a parent-teacher conference with my mother, under the pretense that my sister is struggling.) Wow, that is one hell of a plot drop for such a lovely story!

After all he only lost his 2 brothers he enlisted with and came home to bury his dad and wife. Or something like that. And then the guy pestering him would cry and saw he's sorrow.

classicSTDH.txt (I’m a brony (male fan of My Little Pony). I’m also interested in Japanese names and cultures. During Japanese class, our class was told to use some form of Japanese name for the rest of the year. I’m dressed in a white shirt.) Student #1: “I’ll just call myself ‘Ching Chong’ or something.” Student #2: “Aw, man! That’s what I was going to call myself!” Me: “You do realize both those names don’t exist, right? There’s plenty of names to use.” Student #1: “Shut up, nerd! You don’t know anything about Japanese!” Me: *in Japanese* “You dare challenge me?” Student #2: “What the f*** did you just say?” Me: *in Swedish* “‘You dare challenge me’ in Japanese.” Student #1: “No. You didn’t! You just made up some words!” (At this point, the teacher enters the room.) Teacher: “Alright. What are you guys gonna call yourself?” (We get to choose our names according to our class list. I’m in the middle of the list. So far, most people don’t know what to call themselves and just make up names.) Teacher: “Well then, [Name]. What are you going to be called for the rest of the year?” Me: “Shiro Kishi.” *literally, ‘White Knight’* Teacher: “Oh? That’s… an interesting name. Sounds a bit like someone from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, does it not?” Me: “That’s right.” (The two people from earlier drops their jaws at this point as the teacher is known to be super strict. I look at a girl next to me who’s dressed completely in black and who has been looking at me during the entire conversation.) Me: *in Japanese, to the girl* “I’m Shiro Kishi. Just call me Shiro.” Girl: *in Japanese* “If you’re the White Knight, then I’ll call myself Kuro Kishi.” *literally, ‘Black Knight’* “Just call me Kuro!” Teacher: “I need to take a note to give both of you an ‘A’ for the rest of the year, Kuro, Shiro.” Me: “Arigato, sensei.” (The girl and I started dating after that lesson. It turns out she was also a fan of ‘My Little Pony.’ The teacher, she, and I enjoyed discussing the latest episode in Japanese during class just to piss the bullies of the class off.)

quote:Teacher: “Oh? That’s… an interesting name. Sounds a bit like someone from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, does it not?” That one really does have it all. Awkward stilted dialogue, strangely specific teacher who cares about things that wouldn't come up, meet cute, glorious Japan just like in my animes, etc. The teacher doesn't just recognize it as MLP, but specifically states MLP: Friendship is Magic. You gotta say the whole title! Half expected him to say "Kirito-Kun" for his name  Although I guess that's not pony enough.

EmmyOk posted:Me: “Arigato, sensei.” But how am I supposed to know what this means without a translator note?! Also, if the same word "white" is also used to denote skin color, I'd imagine the teacher's first thought would be that the kid's racist (since he already showed a large vocabulary rather than being limited to a dozen or so words) rather than a MLP fan. It's not like the kid chose Sparkle Knight or whatever

Does MLP:Friendship is Magic (you have to denote that you mean the newest series, otherwise peole think you're into stupid girl stuff!) have anything vaguely japanese sounding like that? I'm pretty sure things like "Rainbow Dash" or "Pinkie Pie" is very japanese.

So based on the story I have to assume this is a Japanese high school class in Sweden that some kids are forced into because there are bullies in it. I actually did take 2 years of Japanese in college and there was no one there that wasn't a nerd of some kind.

Once I subbed for a Japanese Civ class and there was a fat kid in a Naruto headband who had very carefully set up three boxes of Pocky on his desk, like a display. For a college course.

(I was a highschool student at [highschool] in a math class for kids who don't understand math) Me: Hey Student 1, have you played Half-Life 2? It just came out. Student1: No, what is it about? Me: It is about this scientist who runs around killing aliens with a crowbar it is pretty cool. Hey, Teacher, have you ever played it? Teacher: My wife bought it for me but I haven't had time to play it. (I failed the class but still play videogames)

I did, however, get to take more than one class with a Japanese student studying abroad in the US who freaked the gently caress out and went into denial mode whenever Japanese war crimes were brought up.
