riddled-with-fun

Just call me Trick Meister! Had a great season in terms of improving my skills (well, to me anyway). Anyone else seen a big improvement?

I used to do that, but with a small bottle of vodka. Getting ready in my room, loud music, dancing, drinking. What fun that was!

Hell yeah

niku-jaga ga ii, ne!

Are you watching this at home db?

...according to foxnews.com

As much as I can. Is there gonna be a Bush "we're at war" kinda speech coming when the action starts?

Is your workplace being affected by this Iraq issue. We don't seem to be able to do any sales, people aren't wanting to work. I just wish this would be over so we can go back to normal.

It doesn't seem to me that you actually know WHY the supposed 33% was closed down last year. Do you know why for sure? First of all, is it true? And if so, do you know all the reasons why or just presuming?

Winter is here! Rejoice! Time to ride

Where exactly does rainy season fit it? Spring? or Summer? Which of the "4" is it?

World Cup opening = start of rainy season World Cup closing = end of rainy season Very simple and easy to understand

Got to keep in touch more next season, belle - we're here all right. I'm into gaijin bunnies myself too.

When I first came to Japan I was hungry and went in an omiyage shop. I saw some onsen-manju and bought them thinking it was some kind of chocolate cake. That was my first experience of "anko". I wasn't impressed. The next day I also tried to make curry from one of those blocks you can buy just by adding a bit of water. Euugh. PS I like anko now

I thought AI sucked big time too. If the Speilberg/Kubrick names were not attached, it would have got panned.

Are there any in particular that you can think of that really reach out and appeal to riders? I was just thinking this through, but you know, I can't. Which is really sad. (Apart from Wada Toge of course!

Interesting topic. Pile of smelly rubbish if you ask me.

Good to hear I'm not the only one. Thought I was going crazy!

5 years Ocean11. My second year was like you, but then it got worse as I got better - can't do without it. Summer seems so empty

June, July, August - worst months of the year, easily. May, September - not much better.

It is mine. I just love it. Love it more each year as I get better. I live for it. Hate it when winter finishes. Don't mind late summer, because it's coming round again. Just thought I'd put it down for record.

Based in Tokyo, visit Nagoya/Osaka a lot on business.

TOKYO!

What goes on with the McDs on Happone in summer?
