This week's avatar: alternate headings

Have all the police in your town gone missing?  If so, just dial the police at 110 and a friendly officer will be dispatched to investiga . . . oh wait.

Traditionally, at this time of year, Raoul would delete alternative headings for Our Lady of China.



And every year I would forget and make jokes anyway.  

There's a sign you'll never see in a donut shop

And by the way is that Arabic at the top of the missing police sign? And if so does that means it comes from Xinjiang? Just curious!

That may explain things 

In light of the recent trend of missing police officers, the Sanlu Milk Corporation will be putting their pictures on cartons of our fine dairy products.

Could be but not necessarily. It would mean there are pockets of Arabic speakers in this area though. I've seen Arabic on signs in Xi'an and Yiwu before and I would think Gansu would have too. In my area there in an eastern suburb of Changsha, all signs have Korean while Changsha proper does not.

Recruits must present their "Neighbourhood Hide-n-Seek Championship" certificate to apply

While Stil is right, that particular sign is actually in Xinjiang. It says at the bottom there -- Hetian city (which is also known as Hotan).

Merry Christmas everyone!

Just unleashing a bit of Grinch.....Who put 2 "L's" in Holiday? Was it Billie??

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope that your Christmas day is very special.

If George would pay his bar tab, we'd have enough money to build a new Saloon on Hainan.
