F*cked status level-up?

[gomichild]

I just added my webblog to the FG blog list. Does this mean I have level-upped yet?

What do you feel is necessary to level-up your FG status? :P

It's all about post count around here. (Of course, bribes are also acceptable in special cases.)

Dude, don't give away all my secrets.

What.... you didn't have to promise sexual favours?

Would you be prepared to?

What are the extra benefits of having numerous beer bottles? If the benefits are worth it....

[gomichild]

*ducks under the desk and prepares for spam*

Actually I meant in the more general sense - how much of a language snob should one be, how many rap songs in Japanese, or how many bath-houses one should have been thrown out of?

My first thought was that ducked under desk and prepared for *sperm*.

Its 2:30am and I just woke up.

The benefit of more beer bottles is a bigger headache.

Or to put it another way, it's when you've become so accustomed and attuned to the food, language, customs and culture in Japan that you'll never feel quite at home anywhere else, but you also realize you'll never fully experience true Japaneseness because you can finally appreciate the disturbance in the wa caused by your own presence. Faced with this paradox you resign yourself to do your best to play the prescribed role of gaijin that society expects of you.

You had me up until the last line...I refuse to be anyone other than myself. I revel in the wa disturbance...however since the rest is true - plus I feel like an alien when I go home now and also managed to get a Japanese last name - I guess there's no hope for me.

I am truly f*cked...

Now that's alot of lovin' from me...

:oops: Well, er...maybe you deserve another bottle.

SAN Q You are King... I do love my new avator.. I know I have said it before, but you have made my dreary old friday...

(Rob - nah nah ni nah nah... )

"Quality"... hey, it's Budweiser!

[GomiGirl]

As you have no doubt noticed, you now have a greater supply of quality beverage than anyone else. I hope this will help you reconsider your accusation.

Truth be told, it is only because Rob threatened to offer sexual favours..

Can I have a Moscow Mule or a Cosmopolitan? I have given up beer for Ramadan.

Sorry, I don't think I can let this arms race continue, or Mr. Big Porno will start threatening lawsuits again.

Sure understand - I thought I was pushing it considering the extra special attention already lavished my way today.

Here is some more lovin' anyway - just because you deserve it.

THAT is me. Fits me to a "T" I left Japan 2 years ago, and now I'm itching to get back. I've got it so bad, that when I start talking about Japan my Dad just leaves the room now.

I don't really feel comfortable in the United States.
Never really did. Felt at home in Japan from the moment I stepped off the plane at YOKOTA AB. (Sorry guys, I came in through the back door )

[gomichild]

Oh good grief a back door dude... :P

It doesnt matter HOW you get in.

Just as long as you get in.
