Board Size for Japan

Quote: According to that chart, I should be riding a schoolbus. When I first started I listened to those (don't) know-alls in the shops and only really found out I should have been on something else when I came to my 2nd buy. Weight it most certainly is - I noticed a big difference. I felt very misled. -
Just on the news that B'z are now the 7th best selling artist in the world. I knew they were massive sales here and perhaps in Asia, but from the report they said they were popular in the US too. Seemed a bit unlikely - was that true or a bit of a porkie?

The FOOTBALL Thread (2007-2008)

Hypia won't be having a good half-time... -
GT while looking very sleek just lacks "fun" - which to me is the point of videogames.
-
An actual ad I believe.
-
I see Burger King have returned to Japan after running away a number of years ago. I quite like those every so often and now that Mos Burger have gone all tasteless it will be good to check out a BK. 50 stores or so in Tokyo in the coming year appearently.

We must just have higher standards
-
Thanks for that oo. Awful seeing things like that. Did you see the part with the chicken that the guests had. Sick.
-
I got a really curious one last night. Subject line: louise or casserole I choose louise, unless they meant the song.
-
But I'm ok now. Happy Golden Week everyone

Have you climbed Mt Fuji?
oblivion replied to nzlegend's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
There are just too many more things that I want to do rather than have my image of Fuji-san shattered by going up there in a long snake line of obasan. I'll admire from afar. -
I'm 185cm and my lady is 160cm - a fairly big difference as well as the fact that I'm fairly well built and she is quite slight. These dudes have more of a difference to deal with though

How did you come up with your Nickname?
oblivion replied to journey_man's topic in General off-topic discussions
I just like the word. -
Beer in the Onsen
oblivion replied to Mantas's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I think they might. About the small towel people seem to put on their head - what's the tradition there? Just to put it somewhere rather than on the side, or any other meaning? The monkeys at Shiga Kogen don't seem to do that (they don't drink beer in the onsen either). -
Not sure about the Shatner/Spader drama but would have thought so. The Practice final season is on at the moment, that was a good one too.

The Great Global Warming Swindle
oblivion replied to BagOfCrisps's topic in General off-topic discussions
I'm going to watch this documentary and An Inconvenient Truth one after the other sometime this week and really looking forward to comparing them. -
Won't post the results in case anyone hasn't seen it yet and has it on tape but - was it worth watching? Good race?
-
That sounds about right
-
Yes, but as I said does anyone actually use them?
-
OK so the F buttons on computers. Does anyone actually use them? (and what for?)
-
I think they should have put a bit more thought into the handle. Otherwise, what a useful thing that is! I have a very useful Panic button on my computer. It's much better than any of those F buttons (what are they for then?)
