This place is full of funny signs. Wait till you see the one from the bathrooms with directions about where to upchuck.
This is in the radio issue room at McMurdo. I love it because I was in Germany earlier this year and was constantly confronted with signs that seemed like they ought to be readable but never were (not for me anyway). Also, when I was a kid my parents didn’t want us to know what they were talking about, they would speak German. They had met in Germany and both speak the language well, but when they needed a word they didn’t know they would make it up and then break out laughing.
Wie shoen ist dieser lustiger blog von dich. ish habe mein ganze t-shirt mit Kaffee eingespilt von grosse laughing und gaffawing besmirched.
Vielen Danke, liebe Sonne.

Die Mummbler hat kein mehr Grammatik wie 40 jaehre vorher!
The lifetime of these things defies belief. I first saw this in the Saturday Evening Post about 1950. There was a Pennsylvania Dutch wag that regularly contributed mangled bits of German. As a physics student in the 60s, I remember that this particular witticism was a standard fixture in all the graduate labs.
That said, I must agree with the Mummbler (and everyone else I know) that your posts from Antarctica are absolutely peerless. They don’t come up here until about noon, but such is my anticipation that I have usually checked the PolarDiscovery site three or four times by then.

That is absolutely the funniest thing I have read in a long, long time. Unfortunately, my friend who was watching me seize uncontrollably in laughter did not find it so funny and took it as further incontrovertible proof that I am the biggest nerd ever.
Which I suppose is probably what Mummbler was trying to get at in a much funnier way!
