samurai

Not my favorite song, but by far my favorite composer; I used to run for days through mountains listening to oakenfold. days... literally and weekly.

Fletch F. Fletch.

I could totally lay around on a weekend and eat that bread and cheeze above. Red wine....

my middle is my father's first. HIs middle is his father's first. and so goes the tradition. and I plan on continuing it.

Led Zeppelin, Floyd, CCR are amongst 3 non-existant bands I would instantly buy tickets to see should they ever come to my town. saw Floyd on their Division Bell tour in '94. At the time, it was their last tour. I think they did some other promotional shows though. I would seriously hop at the chance to catch Zeppelin. Over-rated not.

3 words... accept your identity.

^^^finally a britney vid I like.

yup. the japanese are generally amongst the upper tiers of happy peoples.

Hey... wait... are you saying my wife has nothing else to bring a smile to her day? Why you little...

well said.

I agree. floating is much nicer than bouncing. they're like two different sports.

Have you seen American Psycho? I like contemporary kitchens. actually, that's funny. In my own hypocrisy, my sister mailed me my favorite spoon from when I was a kid. It's just a silver spoon, no smilies, but I find it ironic that I prefer it when eating yogurt or whatever. Perhaps it's in all of us, just a bit smily over here.

I wish I'd read the book. Too bad daver isn't around to help me out. Others of you can. But one theory as to why adults in Japan have such a thing for "cute" abstracts in their lives is because they had their childhood stripped away from them at such a young age. They miss their youth. Now, can someone cite the author for me please? It's not just mickey either. My wife doesn't necessarily have a thing for any Disney characters, but I do roll my eyes at alot of the "cute" kitchen utensils she manages to buy. Why does an egg-beater have to have a smiling egg for a handle? Or, why

Polygomy= Japan's answer to the population crisis.

Or just confront him and let him know you're not a threat to his livlihood. If I had someone in on my secrets but was unwilling to get off their perch, I'd off 'em too. simply put, don't hold it over his head. I worked for Nova when I first arrived. Met a girl. started dating her... yeah, you know the Nova rule. My roommate/AT held it over my head as if anyone actually cared. Finally, I quit and now we're married. He finally got asked to leave for his power-hungry motives of always trying to manage people by taking away instead of rewarding. The fricking loser got fired from Nova.

When you meet japanese women, compliment them before they compliment you. Here's a starter; anata wa abazure on'na desu.= You're quite the enchanted lady. Oh... and welcome... have fun in hakuba.

I would embed this video, but it's not youtube or google. Many of you have seen it. But it deserves being repeated. http://archives.cbc.ca/IDCC-1-41-1727-11917/sports/extreme_sports/

I think I still have that cd. The Offspring... something.

No, he was casteano, not kiwi. But he was still of the cultured and sophisticated bunch.

dude, I would totally straightline that.

In chile I met a guy with a self-drawn tribal tattoo on his face. he was a tattoo artist who studied in New Zealand and renaimed himself Maori. He carried a club and chain in his pocket just-in-case. he had studs in his nose and his lips too. Then he pulled out his schwack and showed his shaft-stud. That was quite unexptected, being as we were at a bar.

that was fun.

greasy, he is. this thread is gaining intensity.

ha.
