Thanks for the additions. I had some difficulty with the online language translators, but I figured (rightly) that I'd get help with the rest.

You can thank Pimsleur Japanese 1 for this.

Sumimasen - Japanese expression that conveys not only "Excuse me," but also "I'm sorry," and even "Thank you."

Sorry to take your thread off topic but in my search for a John Brown T-Shirt I have found the following:

T-shirt for the Reggae Band John Brown's Body Right click disabled


Click for Larger view

I guess we should start the 'John Brown to replace Che Guevara as a symbol of resistance against oppression' movement since there are only two shirts of him.

Wahine: 'scuse the piss outta me!

*Sorry Gideon!*

Seriously, though, I like this article. I'd even go so far as to deem it insightful.

Well the second shirt even though they look to be the same thing, is a John Brown shirt, the John Brown's Body shirt looks different, and it’s got his bearded personage on it.
