Everest jacket - who can read it?

[BuckeyeMark]

Bought a fabulous fleece jacket at Everest on Tuesday. It's a "summit team" jacket with lots of embroidery. Really cool. But some of the embroidered stuff is in a foreign language! Is that Nepal-ese or Tibetan ? Where could I find someone who could read it for me if I posted a pic? Maybe someone else has this jacket and knows?

I am afraid it says "dumb American tourist spend way too much money on fake expedition jacket"! ;-)

I've got a friend over in Indo right now who might be able to help. She knows like 8 languages... Post a photo and I'll see if she can help

I love your sense of humor!! Sorry I can't help with the translation, but why don't you post the pic anyway and perhaps somebody will be able to help.

There really was a movie made long ago - Tarzan I think - where a native ran up, delivered a message and then died of exhaustion. When the film was shown in Africa audiences died laughing at this scene. Someone asked what was so funny and was told the messenger was saying in Swahili " I am not being paid enough for this part!"

I will take pics and post.

hmm... looks like I can't post attachments. how do I get the pics up?

If you are having a hard time posting the photo, maybe just the words? There are people on the Dis from all over the globe.

now I want to know!!!

post the words? you ought to see these words! there's no posting this - it's not any characters that I'd recognize.

I'll change my avatar to one of the patches. you'll see.

well take a look left ....

that's not exactly anything I can type!

it is a very very cool jacket. and today a lady asked me "Have you climbed Everest?"

I immediately replied "Twice! Both times barefoot." It took a minute before the realization hit her that I had not climbed the mighty mountain...

but I did ride the roller coaster twice!

You did not need to change your avitar.

You can post more (and much larger) photos right here in the message panel very easily:

You'll need to have your pictures digitally loaded
into your computer, of course,
then go HERE:

http://www.photobucket.com/

(or sign up for any photo-server that you like)

Sign up (its FREE),
and follow the directions to upload your pictures to
them.

You will then see each of your pictures in a window on
that site.

Copy and Paste the numbers from the "IMG Code" window
(below each picture) into your post.
Your image(s) will appear in your DISboard post after
its posted (you can click "Preview Post" to see them
before you post).

Aww man... when I saw Robo reply, I thought that perhaps he had translated it

I mean, Robo knows EVERYTHING

The google search of this says "Otherwise, I think, however" so my guess is something similar?

That's not from the shirt.
It was MY OWN (joking) response to the "Robo knows everything" remark.

Meaning (loosely translated to/from the hindi language,) "To the contrary, I obviously don't know everything, however."

Anyone have an answer to this yet? I love the stuff on Engrish.com, so I really want to know what this jacket says.

So I tried Google Googles. No luck...and that probably only had a chance if it was Hindi...however, I believe it is Tibetan characters.

Uaing the never-wrong Wikipedia as a guide, I'm kind of reading that last image as:

odza-aupa-gra-da-ma-ba-ha?-ga-izha-ba

That's as far as I can take it.
