What are they telling the Japanese that they're not telling us?
This was inside a cooler that recently came into my possession:

Is this some dire warning about the dangers of improperly chilled potato salad, perhaps?

3. What are you talking about? It's all right there.
You can't say they didn't warn you.

4. Well...
The first couple of words definitely say "Coleman Cooler." I think the next word is "jug." Also, there seem to be a great many exclamation points involved.

6. I was just having this conversation with Oedi this morning
Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 02:16 PM by Connonym
It says "hahahahahaha, those stupid Americans think that they won the war but all they've won is more war and we've taken our peace and prosperity to invent really cool things like Hello Kitty and electrical bottom cleaners and fast trains. All they've got is this constant war and this lousy cooler."

this is a very rough translation...

9. It's just a list of how many ways you can bring shame to yourself and your family
> Show up with this cooler full of non-alcoholic beer
> Or worse, coors light
> Trying to bring this cooler on a plane
> Sitting on cooler, when standing is appropriate
> Using cooler for dried goods
