Aさん：「What about her?」
Zさん："I've never seen anyone with full, thick, curly hair like that before. It's Super Curly."
ミスタースパーコル：「Mmm... 酸っぱいカレー。」

Punny Japanese: There's Some Ginger! edo@punnyjapanese.com
This blog is one gaijin's attempt to learn Japanese through mnemonics, puns, and general linguistic absurdity.
Z-san explains: "「酸っぱいカレー」is suppai karee and means Sour Curry where "Curry" is a Japanese dish. It sounds like "Super Curly", a pun. 「うまみすきやき」is umami sukiyaki, a different Japanese dish. I don't think I need to explain who 'ミスタースパーコル' is. Ask Google."
