Woot : BIG HAPPY FUNTIME JAPANESE COMMERCIAL SUPER EXTREME ROUND-UP!

Woot : BIG HAPPY FUNTIME JAPANESE COMMERCIAL SUPER EXTREME ROUND-UP! .

I read woot.com’s feed for good deals on stuff — typically electronics, but not always (and I rarely buy anything, but enjoy their product descriptions).  Now and then they also put together excellent collections of content for pure entertainment’s sake.

I saw this page today (linked above):  Nicholas Cage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Krazy Kiefer Sutherland shilling for the Japanese market, and some true-to-form Kyle MacLachlan Twin Peaks canned japanese Coca-Cola-company-produced coffee weirdness*.  Enjoy.

I like the reminder that nerdy people sometimes have their own hotness scales. I don’t think they’re all in Niedersachsen, or that all Niedersachsener are like that, though.

My attempt, as an exercise in technodeutsch transcriplation, starting at around 18 seconds in:

“So what do you do?”

“Electrohydraulic guidance systems with drawbar sensors.*“

“No way…OK, I do stepless precision crankshaft forging.”

“For real?”

“Multidirectional.”

“I would love to get a look at that sometime…a stepless crankshaft…”

“And I’d like to see a drawbar sensor sometime…”

“Oh, so what about pets?”

“Harvester robot…a little bitty one.”

“Oh. Too bad.”

*I’m stumbling here a bit with the term Deichsel. Help?
