Let's see. Your wife says it'd be OK for you to bang other chicks and her best friend is a whore. Sounds like trouble.

i think it's more just that english people are less inclined to go in for the whole patriotism scene. it's certainly struck me in the past that a majority of americans and australians i've met here (i'm australian before anyone accuses me of anything) like to wear their nationalities on their sleev...

When I was in Japan I had friends from all over the English speaking world (not to mention the non English speaking world). One thing that I seemed to notice was that only the English seemed to generally hate their motherland. While other people seemed to miss home or at least have some nice things ...

You guys crack me up. You've got a profile shot of a chick with an oversized baseball cap casting a shadow on her face and wearing a baggy military uniform and you've decided she's hot.

You have to take a step back here and look at the situation. These men were most likely draftees. WW2 had just ended a few years previous, concluding five years of bloody warfare. Just as these men were getting situated back into their lives, another war, in a place no one had heard of, pulls them ...

Both stories are really funny, but who the fuck is Tucker Max? Is he another one of those "I'm famous because I have a popular blog" people or does he actually do something?

MTV did a documentary about him.

Paying for sex in Japan is a total waste of money--why would you pay for something you can get for free with just a little bit of effort? Not true, I've personally known at least two decent looking guys with great jobs in Tokyo who went on one year dry spells. Two words: no game. So true. An ugly g...

WTF, dude? You're thinking about using industrial lubricant for sex!? Just buy some KY or something. There's plenty of lube next to the condoms at your local conbini. BTW, if she ain't wet enough it could mean one of two things: You're not getting the job done or worse At one point during a lull in ...

"We had fun watching a U.S. movie while eating popcorn and discussing each other's lifestyles until late at night," Kusakari said. "We laughed all day long during the three-day stay." Wow. That does sound like fun. :roll: Y48,000 for a night with an American family. What a deal.

Cuz they're fucking pussies.

Seriously that is one thing that used to piss me off about Japan more than almost anything.

FG Lurker is right about Hong Kong though. I don't I've ever been so cold anywhere in the heat of summer. The worst was going to the movies after getting caught in the rain.

rude health

I can figure out what that means from the context but I've never heard that expression before. Is that a british thing?

Oh yeah. Happy New Year!

AK is right about "ya'll". I hate hearing people use it in the singular. And WTF would Texas know? It's not even the real South.

It's perfectly reasonable for a woman not to want you to have dinner alone with another woman. Spending time alone witht the opposite sex is the real slippery slope. Men an women cannot truly be friends (unless the guy is gay). It's all spelled out in the Ladder Theory : http://www.intellectualwhor...

Is there any sort of internal affairs in Japan? Where's Serpico?

That probably means absinthe is illegal to sell but not to drink.

Kick her to the curb. :? Nah, we discussed this over drinks over the weekend and she admits she has been a bit demanding. We'll see if her attitude changes now that I am back in Hawaii. Plus, an actual divorce would be just an exercise of definition at this point since we live apart from each other...

BTW, Is saw on the news last night that the Atlantic Ocean doesn't have a warning system either. They were saying a similar quake near the Canary Island would slam the East Coast of the US hard.

That article reminds me of those BS infomercials that are thinly disguised as talk shows or news casts. Yes, scientists and doctors should work for free.

I dealt with this very early in the relationship with my wife (girlfriend then of course). At the time I was working as an English teacher and had a lot of plutonic friendships with female ex-students, and some current students. Going out for dinner with them didn't sit too well with the missus! I ...

That's only true if you're a woman.

Chinese girl? Ohhhh Lord.

I agree that you shouldn't avoid something out of fear of failure or wait for the perfect girl because she'll never come. But you guys seem to be ignoring what he said. They had almost no sex the last year of their relationship. That's an issue that doesn't tend to get resolved after marriage. It us...

I guess my biggest worry is what dude said about "Don't do it just because you can." I think that might be part of my motivation.

just can't stomach the arguing about literally 'nothing' a lot.

Those two statements should answer your question.

btw, jim katta, how old are you?

Pictures of Tara Reid's mutilated nipples never cease to amaze and disgust me. She must've had that job done in a back alley in Tijuana.

I lived with my wife for a solid 3 years before proposing to her, something I would suggest doing before committing to any member of the female species. Me too. In fact, I could use some advice. I lived with my japanese girlfriend for 3 years in new york. First year was grand, last two were peppere...

Personally, I wish I were black from the waist down.

That's true. I've been wondering why the NYT has been on Japan's jock so hard.

Just flicked on the TV to watch NBC's nightly world news. They started out by saying that rather than give their own report, they would be handing the broadcast over to British iTV. I rest my case. Talk about spin. I watched that broadcast (PST). They had several of their own reports and also inclu...
