Can someone PLEASE translate this for me?? [click for bigger version]
I found a small bag at the bottom of my grandfathers army duffle bag with that writing and what appears to be blood splatters all over it. Creepy. I NEED to know what it says. [ posted by loren at 11/20/2003 01:00:50 PM ] [ trackback ]

that looks like ketchup to me. |
 | loren [email] said at 1:32 PM 11-20-2003:
Yeah, i'd always thought that blood dried dark, but who knows. Maybe i'll have it tested or something if it turns out to say something interesting. |
anotherben.. said at 1:36 PM 11-20-2003:
what are you waiting for? taste it! |
 | pokey [email] said at 1:38 PM 11-20-2003:
Old blood dries almost black. Maybe it was WRITTEN in blood? |
 | cecil [email] said at 1:09 PM 11-20-2003:
It says: "You must never tell your grandson who his real father is." |
|
| loren [email] said at 1:32 PM 11-20-2003:
Shelly: I just got your IM. Thanks. |
Woody said at 3:20 PM 11-20-2003:
You need a Japanese person. Probably Kaycee can solve this for you. This appears to be a mix of Japanese and Chinese symbols, which is apprently a common way for a Japanese to write.
It might turn out to be pretty cool. The last character looks fairly similar to the symbol for "to kill one's superior". I don't think it's quite right though. |
Woody said at 3:41 PM 11-20-2003:
Oh, the 4th symbol is probably "meet, join, or come together". Hmm, mutiny? |
rinaldi said at 4:11 PM 11-20-2003:
i was thinking the same thing. actually they all look chinese to me. which symbol is japanese??? You need someone who is chinese to translate. My grandfather was in China in WWII. He had some crazy stories. Some funny, some just bizarre. It was a tough place to be either way.
My condolences Loren. |
Woody said at 4:20 PM 11-20-2003:
I am told the 2nd and 3rd symbols are at least of Japanese origin. |
Randy [ url ]
said at 5:41 PM 11-20-2003:
I'm nowhere near an expert, but it looks to me like the 1st and last symbols are Chinese, and the ones in between are Japanese. |
 | courtney [email] said at 2:50 AM 11-21-2003:
japanese borrows chinese characters for kanji. |

said at 2:57 PM 11-21-2003:
Oh, ok.
Thanks for the insight. |

| loren [email] said at 5:07 PM 11-20-2003:
Thanks Rinaldi |
 | ed [email] said at 5:19 PM 11-20-2003:
I was really hoping that the inference I made about you looking through your grandfather's duffle bag was just my oversensitivity to the subject.
I'm sorry too, Loren. |
LettusB said at 3:27 PM 11-20-2003:
looks like grandpa took a souvenir from that Japanese girl he raped and killed in WWII |
 | kara [email] said at 3:32 PM 11-20-2003:
you're fucking retarded. |
|
| loren [email] said at 5:08 PM 11-20-2003:
say that to my face |
LettusB said at 3:31 PM 11-20-2003:
actually my coworker who hails from the Empire of Japan said it appears to be an "Emergency Bread Bag", one that would be kept in some sort of emergency ration kit. |
LettusB said at 3:33 PM 11-20-2003:
i can't believe you're granpa raped and killed that girl, then ate her emergency rations! |
 | josh [email] said at 3:35 PM 11-20-2003:
You're a fuckhead.
Seriously.
Way to be sympathetic to someone who has recently lost a family member.
Honestly : people like you are why killoggs has remained "no head, no voice". |
LettusB said at 3:40 PM 11-20-2003:
my apologies i don't know loren, and didn't realize his grandpa passed away recently.
thanks for lumping me into the group "people like you". keep enjoying the me vs. them attitude.
once a fuckhead, always a fuckhead. |
 | brandon [email] said at 3:42 PM 11-20-2003:
Seriously, dude, in this instance, the best thing to do is merely apologize.
Why be snarky? |
LettusB said at 3:48 PM 11-20-2003:
natural response when being snarked at i guess. |
|
| ed [email] said at 5:22 PM 11-20-2003:
No. Being an asshole and then finding out exactly how you were an asshole generally elicits remorse, if not contrition, in human beings.
"Snarking" back, even if you feel you were snarked at, is just plain wrong. You made a dick move. Be a human and apologize - and move on. |
|
| kara [email] said at 3:49 PM 11-20-2003:
even if he hadn't passed away, it was still fucking tasteless.
coming from me, that says a lot.
i definitely enjoy being on the other side of "people like you". |
LettusB said at 3:54 PM 11-20-2003:
please. tasteless, coming from you? how long did you wait to make 911 jokes? nothing is tasteless, and that was tame by all accounts. |
|
| brandon [email] said at 4:01 PM 11-20-2003:
Comparisons aside, do you know what continues to be tasteless? Trying to defend yourself for implying that someone's recently deceased grandfather raped japanese girls. You wouldn't go to a funeral parlor and crack similar jokes about a stranger you don't know. Why do it here?
As far as the statement "nothing is tasteless" goes. What are you, 18 and steeped in Camus?
You committed a faux pas, no big deal. But this is blundering.
Whether or not you are an asshole, you're definitely acting like one. |
LettusB said at 4:08 PM 11-20-2003:
i only said one girl, not "girls" |
Woody said at 4:22 PM 11-20-2003:
Ok, I laughed at that. I'm sorry. I feel like shit now. |
|
| kara [email] said at 4:38 PM 11-20-2003:
rape is never tame. its never funny. |
angelel said at 5:09 PM 11-20-2003:
This is neither the place or time to say what I was about to say. And I especially don't want to put what I was about to say under Loren's post. Look in the ladies club to my response to that, Kara. |
|
| ed [email] said at 5:28 PM 11-20-2003:
Thank you for that.
Someone I love very dearly was raped. Twice. Two years apart.
I have "found religion" (for lack of a better offhand phrase), but I still want to brutally torture and kill the motherfuckers that did this. It is to her credit, and certainly to their relief, that the victim will not reveal the identity of either rapist. I would be totally willing to take them out of the gene pool, regardless of the consequences I would face for my actions.
Yeah, I know. "Thou shalt not kill" is in God's Top Ten. "Sometimes you just gotta say 'What the fuck?'" is in mine. |
LettusB said at 5:39 PM 11-20-2003:
apparently you've never seen deliverance |
|
| josh [email] said at 4:42 PM 11-20-2003:
You are a member of a group : namely, anonymous assholes who hide behind a pseudonym while they come to a personal website comprised mostly of people they don't know, who then proceed to make insulting comments about someone's personal life and family without even considering for one moment that their comments might be hurtful.
You want to call me a fuckhead because I get annoyed at nameless jerks who say things to hurt my friend's feelings?
Fine, dude - I am the king of fuckwads if that's the definition. |
|
| ed [email] said at 5:29 PM 11-20-2003:
I nominate myself for prince, then. |
LettusB said at 5:42 PM 11-20-2003:
you need to lay of the caffine sparky. i was calling myself a fuckhead in agreement with you calling me one. you can't be one that's our group. you can be a fuckwad though. read and understand context before you reply. |
|
| ed [email] said at 5:53 PM 11-20-2003:
Your context was completely clear to anyone who speaks English as a first language.
You apologized, which was nice.
You attacked Josh's "us vs. them" mentality.
And you closed with "once a fuckhead, always a fuckhead".
Any literate person would infer that the last line referred to the last named person. In this case, it was Josh.
So not only are you an asshole, you are ignorant of the conventions of grammar as applied to the language. |
LettusB said at 6:26 PM 11-20-2003:
the "context" i was referring to was the "context" of the thread of which I was replying to in which I was called a fuckhead.
once an ignorant asshole, always an ignorant asshole. |

Wow. I never thought I would support actual deletion of posts, but that shit takes the cake. But Loren's probably already read these, so whatever.
my apologies i don't know loren, and didn't realize his grandpa passed away recently.
Yeah, other than that it's a pretty funny thing to say about somebody's relatives. |
 | neal [email] said at 5:08 PM 11-20-2003:
WOW! Killoggs is kinda "preachy" today. I'm just glad people aren't scolding me. Right on, guys.
Maybe we're all growing up, huh? A little maturity in our ripe old ages of 20 somethings. Maybe we're becoming more considerate of others feeling? |
|
| loren [email] said at 5:12 PM 11-20-2003:
It's actually funny to me because of the sheer lunacy of it... if you knew my grandfather you might understand the absurdity. He was my hero not because of what he did during the war, but the way he was despite the war... afterward.
but yea... it appears to be a weird mix of characters. So bread bag of some sort is the best we've got? |
|
| neal [email] said at 5:20 PM 11-20-2003:
Yeah, I'm sorry Loren. I hardly know english, and that writing on the "bread bag" looks like some totally different language. (joke)(not funny). Anyway, does anyone remember Skylar Porche (or however you spell his name) from KLSU. He knew Chinese/Japanese/Dirty Knees/Look at These. So if anyone here at Killoggs still communicates with him he could possible help. All in all, it seems like a pretty intresting quest. An adventure. ohhhh! |
rinaldi said at 5:20 PM 11-20-2003:
i emailed my chinese friend the link to this page. We'll see what happens. The top and bottop characters, which are surely chinese, are hard to make out tho. Whats the context? I mean, what is this thing? Is it just a torn piece of cloth? Is it a bag? Is it a piece of clothing? That might help, to know what it is. |
|
| loren [email] said at 5:40 PM 11-20-2003:
It'a a smallish green cloth bag with a draw string, about a foot by 5 inches... and it was in the bottom of an american military duffle bag of an Infantry Major in the army. The weirdest part is the "blood" stains. There's no way they are blood since it dries dark. But the splatters are just exactly like a blood splatter. What if blood is washed... is the stain a brighter red? I guess it could be rust or something. I'll post s bigger picture of the whole bag tonight. Thanks again for all the help folks!! |
|
| loren [email] said at 5:42 PM 11-20-2003:
oh, and the colors in the image are tweaked in photoshop so the characters are as clear as i could get them. Not really the right colors. |
 | angele [email] said at 5:46 PM 11-20-2003:
It might be medicine. My grandfather (from the WWII era) was a doctor and he used to supply our family with a lot of old-fashioned meds. Thanks to him, I was doped up on paragoric every time I had a slight stomach ache (which is often when you're little). He had this stuff that you were supposed to put on bloody boo-boos that came with a dropper-type lid. Maybe it's some spattered red medicine. |
|
| josh [email] said at 6:05 PM 11-20-2003:
Red Medicine... not my favorite album. |
|

we called it "monkeyjuice" in kindergarten. for scrapes and stuff. |
|
| josh [email] said at 6:03 PM 11-20-2003:
They could EASILY be rust stains in terms of the color... Though if you changed the colors a lot in Adobe, maybe not... |
|
| loren [email] said at 6:11 PM 11-20-2003:
I'll take a pic of the whole bag and you'll see why it looks like blood. |
angelel said at 6:22 PM 11-20-2003:
I believe that it could easily be blood. I was working in the CBD when all of the sudden a bunch of tanks started rolling down Poydras. A lot of them. Apparently it was a very poorly publicized parade for the opening of the D-Day museum featuring some of the surviving members of certain infantries. It's a shame that their mosest crowd consisted of confused workday lunch breakers like myself. All the men were beaming, so proud, so happy just to be reunited and celebrated and ALIVE, I guess. So what's the point of me rambling on like this?
Some of the men were waving souvenirs from the war. One man was holding a Japanese flag that was tattered and riddled with bullets. Another man held a Nazi handkerchief OBVIOUSLY stained with blood. he pretended to blow his nose with it. It was a strange sight to see and store in my inventory of interesting images I've seen (like 2 Giraffes fucking at the Audubon zoo).
So. The bloodstains were neither bright red, nor were they almost black. They were clearly bloodstains, though. If it looks like bloodstains, then chances are, it's bloodsains, IMO. |
|
| loren [email] said at 6:44 PM 11-20-2003:
His uniform, boots, spurs and a bunch of other stuff is going into the D-Day museum. That's a cool story... you'd think they'd announce the hell out of something like that. |
rinaldi said at 8:46 PM 11-20-2003:
Ok, so I just got an email back from Dr. Cao at LSU. I had emailed him thinking it was Chinese. He says he recognizes two characters, but that the whole thing is japanese. He said we should ask a fluent japanese speaker. So.... Plan B. For some reason he didnt tell me what the two character's he recognized meant. Hmmmm. Now I'm really wondering!! |
|
| neal [email] said at 5:13 PM 11-20-2003:
But, then again, maybe not. Remember when Sebastian Bach of Skid Row wore that T-Shirt that said "AIDS: Kills Fags Dead." That's really offensive, but isn't that the humor of our generation. Isn't most of our humor now a day shocking and offensive? |
|
| brandon [email] said at 5:27 PM 11-20-2003:
So are we going to hang out while I'm in town or do I have to stalk you? BTW, I'm getting into town on Saturday in NO. Can I rely on you Neal? Can I trust you? |
john said at 5:36 PM 11-20-2003:
Just in time for the Bayou Classic. |
|
| brandon [email] said at 5:41 PM 11-20-2003:
Yes, definitely. Are you all going to be there? Why won't Neal talk to me? Neal, are you angry? Is it about those things I said to you outside that phone booth?
Seriously, Saturday, I'm going to be in town, give me cell a call at 773-459-6029.
We'll get tore up. We'll find the Ponce De Leon Sisters, heirs to the Columns fortune. We'll make our own tape.
John, you too. Call. Please, someone, call. Please. please. |
|
| loren [email] said at 5:43 PM 11-20-2003:
posting your cell number on a public forum... especially this one... wtf were you thinking man? |
|
| brandon [email] said at 5:56 PM 11-20-2003:
I've posted it like a dozen times here, so, it's not so bad.
If Woody wants to call and talk about work gossip, he's more than welcome to. |
john said at 7:15 PM 11-20-2003:
Yeah I'm headed down to the dirty dirty 504 on Saturday to watch the LSU game with Neal and maybe get a little quality time in with Lou. Are you coming to BR or just NO? I can provide transportation between the two if you need. |

Well, being this is the first that I've heard of you coming into town, what's up? Were going out on Saturday Night and watching the game during the day. Man, I totally would be excited to see you! Fucking A. So what are your plans? |
|
| brandon [email] said at 12:52 PM 11-21-2003:
Hey, I got your message. I'm going to be rolling into the train station around 3:40pm tomorrow. Probably, the train will be a few hours late. L'Amanda is coming to pick me up. I want to get tore up. We'll meet up. I'll give you a call tomorrow, once I've got a better idea of when the train will arrive. |
|
| neal [email] said at 12:58 PM 11-21-2003:
Well, alright! John and I will be watching the LSU vs Old Piss game tomorrow at 2:30. Then we're going get fucked up royally. I got your digits, you got mine. Call and we'll hook up. |

there's a line, you crossed it, now quit trying to defend yourself and let it go man. If you really want to keep talking about it email me your phone number and name and you can say it to me straight out. |
LettusB said at 6:22 PM 11-20-2003:
since i've been called out to some schoolyard duel, i'll do just that. God knows why you would give a fuck what I have to say about your grandpa. |

I don't. Note the "if you really want to keep talking about it" part of the sentence. I'm over it. the end. |

I didn't know Loren's grandfather died, If my Grandfather had recently died I would probably want to stab anyone speaking ill of him.
But what a way to switch gears.
Hey, I'm an ass I laughed.
But chill out people. This is a forum where people talk about drinking blood from a dead prostitute with downs syndrome.
I don't read EVERY page that gets posted. I am not going to know everyone's back history.
I didn't even realize what was meant when rinaldi said "My condolences Loren." and I am sure that dude didn't know Loren was serious when he said "say that to my face"
So don't crucify dude just because he's been reading EVERYONE here one upping each other in the shock category.
I am sorry that all this has to be on a post that Loren put up to remember and ask the support of friends in finding a little bit more about the history of his Grandfather. But hopefully everyone can maybe think a little more before they say something. If after the first LettusB comment someone said "his Grandfather just died dude" I think that would've cleared it up. I for one am not good at mean humor when I try, it gets all screwed up and i wonder if I might have actually hurt their feelings. So get off your soapboxes and lighten up or don't post humor if you are humorless.
If you want to respond to this go to my post on the journal page so that this thread can get back to what it's original intention was. A celebration of Loren's Grandfather and maybe an opprotunity for p[eople to share things about their found items from grandparents. |
|
| ed [email] said at 6:05 PM 11-20-2003:
You're right, Sonny, and I apologize for defacing this thread with my anger.
I just really feel for Loren, because I'm still not over my own loss. Nor am I over the spectre of rape. Both subjects make me incredibly touchy. That's not an excuse... it's a weak attempt at explanation.
And this is an apology. Loren, LettusB... I'm sorry. This was neither the time nor the place for me to vent my own anger and sadness.
Loren, I am truly sorry for your loss.
LettusB, I am truly sorry for my indignant raving.
Killoggians in general, I ask your forgiveness as well. Sometimes I let emotion override reason, and the results are usually not pretty. |

Thanks Sonny, well said. I wasn't even bothered too much by the comment, just the defense of it. |
Woody said at 10:29 PM 11-20-2003:
Ok, here it is:
The 2nd and 3rd characters from the top are pa n, katakana for bread. The next character down is kanji for "put into" ireru, if i am not mistaken.
So it's not as exciting as I first thought. Possibly some instruction that came with a food storage kit or ration kit given to Japanese civilians or POW's or something? |
|
| courtney [email] said at 2:51 AM 11-21-2003:
umm... I am most certain that kanji is "hito", meaning "person". |
Daniel said at 10:44 PM 11-20-2003:
i believe it says: 'to sir with love' |
|
| sonny [email] said at 12:41 AM 11-21-2003:
Burlap condom? |
|
| courtney [email] said at 3:18 AM 11-21-2003:
Woody is correct about the 2nd and 3rd characters being "pa" and "n".
I was almost certain that the 4th character is "hito", or "person"... but it looks pretty darn close to "ireru" as Woody thought.
The last character is "Tai" (or "Fukuro"), the character for "bag" or "sack" (I guess that's a given why that's on .
I'm toiling over the first character, I can't read it all too well.
Damn, this is gonna bother me all night. |
rinaldi said at 3:32 AM 11-21-2003:
Well, you, woody and lettuceB cannot all be wrong. There it is... "Emergency Bread Bag". Impressive work. |
anotherben.. said at 9:09 AM 11-21-2003:

that's a wierd pattern of spots |
|
| courtney [email] said at 1:31 AM 11-22-2003:
I can actually see the first character better in this shot. It looks close to "ten", which means "turn, revolve or rotate".
But that doesn't make sense. "Rotating Bread Bag"? |
|
| courtney [email] said at 1:38 AM 11-22-2003:
and I need to close my tags. |
Aaron said at 2:36 AM 11-23-2003:
Maybe by dry it means waterproof. It might be made of oiled canvas. The bag may be a small waterproof bag to carry spare uniforms, or maps/documents in. |
|
| cecil [email] said at 4:11 PM 11-21-2003:
Hope you never took offense at my little "real father" joke, up at the top. Looks like I got off easy. That bag's a great relic. |

no, that was actually funny. =] |

That probably isn't blood, blood dries much darker. It could be a variety of stains, but it's doubtful that it is blood. It could possibly be hot sauce, ketchup, koolaide, a rust stain, etc. More important I think is that you now have something your grandfather fought for and someone died over. You should have it framed to protect it from the oils in your skin, the family dog, etc.
FWIW, German captured Russian rifles are graded by collectors on the amount of rust caused by bloood stains on them. More blood means lousier finish, and so a lower value. |

I dug that up. Check out the cloth bag he's wearing over his groin. |

Damn! Thats the bread bag! |

Check equipment list: "Bread Bag"

Bread bags don't look like that. If you search for bread bags, you'll see they are constructed differently. They were also larger, as some of them held stoves.
The bag in that image is a bag for holding personal items and documents. |
Aaron said at 2:55 AM 11-23-2003:
It would help if we could get a pic of it with a ruler next to it, so we have some idea of size. |
rinaldi said at 3:10 AM 11-23-2003:
Shell is just trying to cause a ruckus Aaron. Its a bread bag.
Bread bag
Bread bag
Bread bag! |
Aaron said at 3:40 AM 11-23-2003:
Shell might be right though. If the bag is 3 feet long, and 1.5 feet wide, that's a damn big loaf of bread. |

It measures 15 inches by 9.5 inches =] |
Aaron said at 11:44 PM 11-23-2003:
You tell the girls that too?
That seems to be about the size of the bag that soldier is wearing in that pic...Still need to get the text translated. |

| courtney [email] said at 8:34 PM 11-23-2003:
does it HAVE to be a loaf, as we normally think of it? It can be slices, it can be a round chunk, it could be any size.
Don't knock the bread, now. |

If that thing was sitting atop some guy's groin, I suddenly worry about where the blood originated from.
And am I correct that no one's actually fully translated what's on the bag yet? Does no one on here know any Japanese people? I wrongly assumed it would have been figured out completely within 12 hours from posting, so I didn't bother asking anyone to look at it. Should I? I can think of about 5 people that could translate all of it in person if it hasn't been already. |
Aaron said at 4:59 AM 11-23-2003:
Even if it is a bread bag, the mess kitchen seems like an unusual place to take a war trophy from...Maybe some Japanese soldier used it to carry equipment in. |

It's funny...we heard the expression, "hit 'em in the breadbasket" when we were kids. If it is a bread bag held near the groin, this makes sense. |
Aaron said at 8:29 PM 11-23-2003:
The expression "the whole nine yards" seems to have come out of WWII as well. |

Google is a wonderful thing! I'm going to start using the word more often. "I got really drunk last night, and googled all over the place..." |
Michael said at 11:01 AM 11-23-2003:
I just helped a girl out with her resume who had listed "Google" as a skill. Seriously. I was laughing for hours. She also had Windows 95 listed as a skill. |

Hey man, it's not so funny. One time I actually got complimented on my Googling skills.
Never been complimented on my Windows 95 skills though... |
|
| courtney [email] said at 1:01 PM 11-23-2003:
s'true. Why else would there be entire books dedicated to using Google?
As for Win95, it could be a skill, if you are very experienced in troubleshooting it. |
Aaron said at 3:33 PM 11-23-2003:
That's not very funny...My work computer has Win 95 on it. Killoggs is almost enough to crash it. |
