Guess Where This Is
Metabo Oyaji replied to hellyer's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I was thinking Crazy Cats. Or three of them, anyway. -

I like to urn my terns. Though that probably belongs in the Monkey in a Bucket thread. -

Just watched the same foursome of idiots cross back and forth at least 3 times. -

Oops, I guess it was one after all. Another resignation. -
It used to be that after 10 years, shaken went from every other year to yearly. That changed a few years ago (don't remember exactly when), and yes, now the only car-age difference is the 13-year tax increase (Bar Mitzvah present, if you will). But still, that tax increase is less than 10%, so doesn't in itself justify buying a new car. A bigger factor (for me, at least) would be mileage/燃費. A hybrid SUV or minivan would seem ideal to me for ski trips.

For those of us too lazy, what exactly is Groupon? Some kind of coupon...thing? -
Help needed for Blokey things to do in Tokyo

How about fishing? I see 9500 yen/head for a day out on a boat, for example. -

Are they skiers/boarders? Sayama will be opening soon, and Yeti even sooner. Or plastic slopes at Marunuma or Gala. Otherwise, what kind of people are they? What would they be into? -

Nice! I really want to visit Osorezan some time. What was it like? -
That looks like just the thing!

It is not, most definitely not, a fan, which would be illegal to distribute during a political campaign. It is merely informational material in the entirely coincidental shape of a fan. Although should one interpret it as a fan, one is free to use it as such. Hard to do the Monty Python-esque dialogue justice by just describing it, so here is the original (picture John Cleese as Ren Hou, and Michael Palin as Matsushima Midori): Summary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8b5-Z3nBC8 Uncut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNszbfjSJEQ -
I dunno, looks kind of like a deluxe portable toilet on wheels. Now if it had caterpillar attachments so it could climb non-lift-accessed terrain...

3 days skiing in Feb
Metabo Oyaji replied to Pompom3's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I think any of those would be big enough to keep me entertained for 3 days, but the largest of course is the town of Yuzawa, which includes about 20 different ski areas. Within Yuzawa, Kagura/Naeba alone would even be sufficient.
