From a post:

==>
I give up and go for english: "FOR CHR:ST SAKES LADY I'M POINTING AT THE
F*CK:NG PICTURE!!!"
...and then in Japanese...
"BOKU WA NODO KAWAITTA, SUSHTARA OOKII NO CUPPU IRU!!! TAKSAAAAAANNN
NOMITAI!!!! OMAE NO MIMI DAIJOBU KA? ES JYANAKUTE EM JYANAKUTE EL
L-L-L-L-L-L-L!!!! WAKARU?!?"
<==

He then goes on to complain about the bird-brains in Japan not being able to
understand his orders...

He hasn't convinced me to start learning some of that yingyong in place of
my current mime routine. At least I can get a Number 1 Set through signs and
pointing.

I was hoping you could translate that, I don't what SUSHTARA is. Does that mean
"if I had sushi then ..."?

I have to admit though that Japanese in general cannot understand me saying L
(elu-). I don't know how to say it so it's not confused with M (emu-). More
often than not I get M. Dai or La-ji seem to work.

I want to listen to him pronouncing "Filet o fish". Really.

I myself tend to pronounce it "Filet au fish".
