lol fuck em. Give the HMRC the firepower of the IRS in this one specific instance

Guns other than Chekov’s:

You don’t get rich by writing a lot of cheques, I suppose

Actually, it’s even odder and lazier than that - some good people in the comments have explained what is going on

Pacclabmech is not mehee

I love the bit when Dr Bashir looks at the screen and everything on the LCARS is nonsense words, it's perfect

I love that episode, such a perfect depiction of aphasia

Well, yeah, they weren't obeying point 5, clearly

I'm so glad everybody is as tickled by it as I was when we opened the package - it's a genuine delight in these times!

I love how many people in this thread have pitched in to solve the mystery! I’d never have guessed the Cyrillic connection.

In this instance, it seems that there was much more human ineptitude involved. Some brave scholars have done detective work down in the thread somewhere

It's quite legit, I'm afraid, I took the picture myself.

The consensus of the hive mind appears to be that this is Russian, OCR'd incorrectly, and then translated into English using a potato.

There are other examples of the same device on Reddit because obviously it's weird as fuck

It's precisely the sort of thing an exasperated British primary school teacher would say to an unruly classroom.

That would not be an unreasonable assumption, but alas we do not live in a reasonable world

That seems exactly what it is - a couple of other people suggested similar things to me. Translated from Russian to English by someone who didn't know either language.

It's made me chuckle today though

Gotta pump those numbers up! Pressure transfusion, come on please

How am I gonna learn the Secret Wisdom then? Gosh everybody’s treating me the same way as when I wanted to drink the sweet juice from the black sarcophagus

Oh I wouldn’t want to be so careful in time of death, would I?

Everything happens so much

Russian written in Cyrillic but OCR'd as Latin text, apparently, and then translated in an avant garde fashion. There are some comments in my original thread from Russian speakers

Paddington the Psychopomp - who is also known as Pacclabmech and is never mehee yem.

Everything happens so much

I suspect you are quite correct but it’s a banger of a line in many respects

Brilliant work!

Definitely not mehee yem

I don’t want to disappoint Pacclabmech though. That would probably be mehee.

It’s not racist enough

Wish I’d seen this post before my Dad started levitating. We’re going to have a bugger of a time getting him down

Thank you

I take no pleasure in informing you that it is, in fact, very real.
