Found this commercial Arnold made in Japan. Very odd. What do you think?

I think they wrote him a check, and it cleared. Check out http://www.japander.com for more examples.

I thought so myself :-)

BTW, I just left this thread a few minutes ago and there were no rotten keywords. Now they appear to be piling on pretty quickly.

I saw that someone is piling on negative keywords also. Must be some of those Arnold-haters who think it's cute to tear down the non-McC candidate. Boy, that'll convince everybody of the maturity of the McC supporters. (/sarcasm)

I thought it was pretty funny. But perhaps AmericanInTokyo knows what it means?

Worth a shot!

Short of an actual translation, what it looks like is that he got out of a sticky situation by conjuring up a beer. Not that tough to figure out.

Not a beer.

A 'sports tonic' spiked with caffeine.

Known as "Oranomin V", or simply "V" (vuwee), as he pronounces it in Japanese. Schwarz hocked it for years on Japanese TV.

He was first asked by his girlfriend if there is "tako yaki" in America (fried squid ball)? Confused, he asks in return, "tako yaki???"

At that, the trouble begins, as two chimpira, (punks) come out to cause trouble, since tako yaki is not only a Japanese food, it is also a play on words and an insult in the Kansai area (Osaka) of Japan used by toughs and hooligans as a common insult before a fight.
