I'm 30. I'm too old for JET (realistically). The deal is I'd like to check out Japan, but it would be better to have someone pay for it, in a way. I had originally planned to just go live there for three months (I've saved) but then decided it'd be better to do it this way, since it would look more...

I'm American. I'm an asshole. And I'm proud.

Is that why they pluck their eyebrows, carry purses, and go to beauty salons? What a crock of shit that article is. Horribly written too. If you have to translate every other word then you need to rethink your approach.

Amen to that.

AK, you're all wrong. They just needed to put those kids in time-out and then have a good heart-to-heart and find out why they felt they had to act out.

Gotta go with the flow booger-kun.

No. But he's only been there for a month. He will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

I wonder if the deli-health girls would be weirded out by some guys paying them not give head. They'd probably think they were all pervs or something.

Ah, I just realized you were referring to the kid at my school. Yeah, I know from first hand experience he was a little turd. BTW, I got pissed off when I witnessed it too, but it really was not a big deal and I certainly didn't sit around obsessing about it. My parents generation grew up in a time ...

Well shit dude you outta drink tequila everyday then.

Well, you're in for a treat because teachers do drink at school in Japan. No not everyday, but they do sometime have nomikais at the schools.

BB, I'm not saying it's the right thing to do I'm just saying it's no big deal. I never once said the kid deserved it. I think you are mixing my comments up with AK. No you shouldn't smack a clerk in a store but there are times when violence is called for. The problem is modern society has basically...

He smacked the kid. Nobody got hurt. No big deal. Why are we turning into a world of pussies? I saw worse. The baseball coach at the high school I taught at gabbed the crotch of some kids pants. I don't think he really sqeezed his balls, just the pants. But it's the thought that counts. And this was...

Are you kidding? Haven't read Alex Kerr's books. There is no countryside left in Japan. It's all concrete.

AK, that ain't it. I just drink whatever's handy. If people decided they wanted Korean food that night then it's soju and I'm headed for a fucked up night.

You should all just fly to Bangkok or Macao for a couple of days.

Tokyo Union Church also does the rice patrol with St. Albans. If you can't be there at 5am for delivery you can always help make the onigiri the day before.

He'll only get free health care if he goes to prison. Otherwise he's screwed.

Haha! Easier said than done. Actually, dropping big money on a date is a very good way not get any action.

From the story, it doesn't appear that the Coach is very good at Judo either. It's my experience that high school coaches are wimps who can't pick on people their own size, they need a captive audience of kiddies to abuse. And I bet AK has a foot and 25 lbs over the coach.

I'm with you AK. I fucking hate strip clubs. Paying tons of money to not have sex. If I wanted to do that I'd just take some American bitch on a date to an expensive restaurant. Personally I think strip clubs and lap dances are for guys who are too pussy to get a whore. I'm not advocating prostituti...

ah yes, it was my fucking pop-up blockers.

Unless he's really good a judo or wrestling or something that's probably NOT a good idea.

I got quicktime. Weird.

I don't get a video either. Just the same pictures in another window.

I don't know guys. I can sit down and drink a full bottle of vodka or rum and not get totally nuts the way I do when I drink soju or nihonshu. Maybe it because I usually combine them with assloads of beer.

Why is it that when I get shit faced with nihonshu or soju (shochu) I find that I'm more likely to lose control than when I drink other shit?

I guess I do like 151 and coke. Does that make me a pussy?

Thank you, Adhesive! Of countries classified as "developing" or "in transition," only South Korea and the Czech Republic tracked workers putting in more hours than American laborers. The Koreans logged almost 500 hours more annually than Americans , the Czechs doing some 100 hour...

- Their impressions is that Americans quit at 5. That's an especially big load of BS since Americans work more hours a week and take fewer holidays a year on average than anyone else in the developed world. But they are right about the rest of you lazy fuckers from Europe, Australia, etc. :wink:

All of these cocktails sound fucking disgusting. It's one thing for the ladies like Gomigirl to push this shit, but don't you guys have any shame?
