August 3, 2009 at 1:50 PMHi Changye,
In the Podcast, Jenny said that the Candy apple (pomme d'amour) could use 串 as measure word even if there's only one apple.
For me, 玉米狗 is a typical american outdoor food. Then I always ask for mayonnaise with it. ;o)

From your experience, what's the percentage of 平装本 (Paperback edition, ペーパーバック) on the books sold in China ? 99 % ?
Ps: As books are food for the mind, it's not off-topic.

July 31, 2009 at 4:02 PMBEIJING — A Chinese soccer player who chased a referee for half the field before pushing him to the ground has been banned from the game for life.
The Chinese Football Association said in statement late Thursday that Tianjin player Zhao Shitong had been banned for life, and that five other players were suspended for two to three years.
The players attacked referee He Zhibiao after losing 3-1 to Beijing in a July 26 provincial playoff for the National Games. He gave three Tianjin players red cards during the second half of the game.
At the end of the game, Zhao and the other players started yelling and pushing through security guards to get to the referee. Zhao then was seen in footage broadcast on state television chasing He and pushing him to the ground.
The pushing and arguing lasted 20 minutes before security officials got control of the situation.
"We hope clubs enhance the management and education of coaches and players and improve match discipline in order to prevent such thing from happening again," Wang Xiaoping, the association's director of discipline, said in a statement.
The association also kicked Tianjin out of the National Games to be held in October.
Soccer is very popular in China, but there are serious problems in the game. The domestic professional league is tainted by bribery and brawling. China's top league returned to national TV in March, ending a four-month ban imposed because of on-field violence.

August 3, 2009 at 3:11 PMHi Changye,
Thank you for the clarifaction about 串.
I looked on Google and saw that 只 (small animal) could be a measure word for hotdog (一只热狗).
Then I guess it would be possible to say 一只玉米狗.
P.S. The Corndog is never served with mayonnaise. That's a passive-aggressive joke. ;o)
