Well, let me tell ya, this “what did Bailey say in Japanese” thing, it’s got folks all riled up, ain’t it? I ain’t no fancy scholar or nothin’, but I can tell ya what I heard, and it ain’t always pretty, just like life on the farm.
First off, who’s this Bailey fella? Sounds like some wrestler or somethin’, you know, those folks who jump around in tights and holler a lot. They got all sorts of folks from all over, so it ain’t no surprise one of ’em might jabber in Japanese. Now, I ain’t never been to Japan, but I heard tell it’s a place with fancy writin’ and all sorts of different words. They got this “Hiragana” and “Katakana” stuff, sounds like a headache if ya ask me. Just stick to good ol’ English, that’s what I say!
So, this Bailey, if he’s a wrestler, maybe he’s shoutin’ somethin’ in the ring, you know, like “I’m gonna get ya!” or “Watch out for this here clothesline!” But in Japanese, it’d sound all…well, Japanese-y. I heard tell some folks call this character “The Role Model” and that that one speaks Japanese. Maybe Bailey’s tryin’ to be all mysterious and fancy, like them mystery stories they got over in Japan. Lord knows, them folks love a good mystery, just like we love a good rain after a dry spell.
- Mystery in Japanese? They probably got a whole heap of words for it, just like we got different words for “dirt” – ya got your topsoil, your clay, your good ol’ garden dirt… I heard tell there’s at least 13 ways to say it. See? Complicated!
- Writin’ it all down? That’s where it gets real tricky. They got all them squiggly lines and whatnot. It ain’t like our ABCs, that’s for sure. You gotta learn the whole shebang, Hiragana, Katakana, and probably some other stuff too. Sounds like a lot of work for just sayin’ a few words.
Now, some folks, they get all excited about translatin’ this and that. They got these “translators” and all, but I reckon sometimes things get lost in translation, you know? Like tryin’ to explain the smell of a good rainstorm to someone who’s only ever seen sunshine. It just ain’t the same.
So, what DID Bailey say? Well, if he’s this “Role Model” fella, maybe he said somethin’ important, maybe he didn’t. Maybe he just ordered a plate of sushi, who knows? The point is, it’s all a bit of a puzzle, ain’t it? Like tryin’ to figure out why the rooster crows at dawn or why the cows always seem to know when it’s gonna rain. Some things just are, and you gotta accept it.
And this “Japanese puzzle mysteries” thing they talk about…sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me. I prefer my mysteries simple, like where did I put my darn spectacles or why ain’t the chickens layin’ like they should be. No need for all that fancy writin’ and foreign languages.
But I tell ya what, if Bailey wants to come on down to the farm and holler in Japanese, he’s welcome to it. I might not understand a word he’s sayin’, but I’ll offer him some sweet tea and a piece of pie, just like I would anyone. That’s the way we do things ’round here. We might not be fancy, but we’re friendly, and that’s gotta count for somethin’. Maybe he can even teach me a word or two, somethin’ simple, like “hello” or “goodbye.” But I ain’t promisin’ I’ll remember it, my memory ain’t what it used to be, ya know?
So there you have it, my two cents on this whole “what did Bailey say in Japanese” business. It’s a mystery alright, but some mysteries are best left unsolved. Life’s too short to fret over every little thing, especially when there’s chores to be done and supper to be made. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens.
