I hope Japan is help your "mental health" and "physical fitness" with good times.

We will help your Mentelth.
And Physical fit-eh-ness
with good food

It's obviously a haiku.

Ah, of course. Sneaky of them.

Also, wtf am I going to bring you back? You don't strike me as a keychain kind of guy. A handerchief, maybe? :/ Candy? A plastic ninja sword? Let me know.

Steal me a peice of engrish.

Okay, I realize you don't do the whole 'stealing' thing... but take something offered for free which you aren't intended to take. Like a japaneese realtors buss-i-ness cahds.

Or something so rediculous it could only be japan.

LOL...wow, you'd love it here. They have that kind of stuff all over the place. Everywhere. I've almost gotten used to it, but if something really stands out, I'll take a pic. There were a few uncomprehensibles in the grocery store. Any idea what "retortables" are?

haha.. retortables :) i love engrish. i assume you're familiar with it, but just in case check this out.

Yeah, that site rocks! I could probably even submit a few things, there. :P A lot of the time, people will have some stupid saying on their shirts, but I'm too shy to go up and ask to take their picture, so I just try not to crack up, and look the other way. I wonder how often they actually know what it means.

haha i loev the plastic food it reminds me of the movie i watched so much when i was little "Big bird goes to China" (I know ur in Japan though lol) but he goes and has this big argument with the restaurant man because he wants the one in the window thinking its real so finally the manager gives it to him..he takes a bite and realizes its fake.....oh good times with Big Bird lol

marzipanboy May 16 2006, 04:43:39 UTC

Ohhh...I think I vaguely remember that movie. Something about dancing statues, and a monkey king? Or maybe I'm crazy. :P I should look it up...wonder if it has any fan sites.

I loved Snuffy, and Grover especially.

angelic_aysh May 16 2006, 09:42:54 UTC
