Why did you name this forum "Fukked Gaijin"?

Take the 12 Step to being a F'ed Gaijin...

Step1
We admitted we were powerless over Japan - that our lives had become unmanageable.

Step2
Came to believe that a power within ourselves could restore us to sanity, or not.

Step3
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Shinto gods as we understood them and bite the Big Buddha.

Step4
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Step5
Admitted to ourselves and to other FGs the exact nature of our wrongs.

Step6
Were entirely ready to embrace all these defects of character.

Step7
Humbly ask of ourselves to ignore our shortcomings.

Step8
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and blame Japan for all.

Step9
Made direct ACCOMMODATIONS wherever possible, except when to do so would injure us or others.

Step10
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admit it.

Step11
Sought through meditation or medication to improve our conscious, or maybe not.


Step 12
Having had a spritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we try to carry this message to othe F'ed Gaijin, and to practice these principles in all our affairs, especially if she/he/it is cute.

Enjoying it or not any honest long-termer knows the only word that really sums up the gaijin situation is 'fucked'. But hell, the JPN aren't racists they bend everybody over! I mean the first time I hit Fucked Gaijin I knew this was the place for me. The name attracts people with the right frame of mind. The fact that we are gaijin ultimately and continue to choose to be demonstrates our affinity for Japan. 'Fucked' is the right word because it's the perfect negative counter to the Japanophile positivity that runs through all of us. Ying and Yang. Balance. We're fucking Zened-out, brothers and sisters, can you dig it? To me, if you can't handle the word 'fucked' you can't handle life in Japan. You gotta take it easy here. You gotta have a sense of humor. Every long-termer I ever met here is a total nut-case! I just let it show more than others. The first step to having wa is to look in the mirror, say to yourself 'I know I'm fucked.' And laugh about it. I could be back in American Suburbia with my friends from high school. Safe and sound in my own element. But I left home for experience. I've been hanging on. Sometimes life here is a piece of cake but sometimes Japan will hammer your foreign ass down.

Sorry about speaking for everyone here. And of course, Ultra, this is your house, so I can't really say why it's called what it's called. But that's how I feel about it. I'm proud to be 'fucked' if that makes any sense. Peace.

lol That's funny.

In a way, "Fucked Gaijin" is a warning at the gate to keep out the squeamish, prissy whiners.

However, if the huge logo that screams "F'ed Gaijin" at your desk at work is a problem, go to the "Profile" , scroll down to "Board Style:' and select the "Blah" style. Then the FG banner will read "Fiscal Guidence" , with serious looking icons, and blue-gray backgrounds. You can also use the alt front door url http://www.tokyotalk.tk/

I surf the FG at work all day in front of the bosses without anyone being "offended."

Thanks for the suggestion. That's better.

Whereas sticking a gun in our faces with an oversized avatar (isn't there a size limit) is much less offensive?

I see that you're not into size, but my avatar has been whittled down.

It's not about "not being into size." It's that large avatars screw up the formatting of the rest of the board, that's all. Pretty much anything goes with avatars here, just so long as they're not too big.

Hi everybody,

I've been lurking here for about a week and enjoying the posts and news items, so I finally registered. I moved to Kawasaki 1 month ago, so I'm not quite fucked yet. In January I'll be attending a Japanese language school part-time and probably working at Nova part-time, so I guess I'm on my way to becoming a fucked gaijin.

As 007 has been saying on cable lately...

"douzo, yoroSHIku, onegai, shimaSU."

Welcome aboard! :P
Guess what? You're more f'ed than you know 'cause you're here.
Why? Hee, hee, your avatar is fuckqued like this.


Hint: Geocities' websites like yours don't allow direct linking of your avatar. Use another free account such as http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/ to post this avatar of yours

Guess what? You're more f'ed than you know...

Is that a compliment here?

Thanks for the tip. That should do it.

Behold!! Stringfellow Hawke in all his hairy-chested glory.

Sure it's a compliment. One's degree of fuckedititude is a badge of honor here.
You're doing great since you started off living in Kawasaki (which is like saying you have just relocated to charming Newark, New Jersey
hee, hee ).

I found this forum by accident, but was strangely drawn to it.

Perhaps I should see if I qualify.

1 > Gaijin

Yes

2 > Ever resided in the "motherland"

Nope

3 > Own one (1.5) japanese vehicle(s), (2) japanese watercraft and three (3) japanese small engines.

Roger that

4 > Have an affinity for azn's (female)

Affirmative

3 of 4 isn't to bad...

[GomiGirl]

4 > Have an affinity for azn's (female)

What does azn's mean? Asians?

Crikey, I am getting old!!

Damn Ggir, no more red wine for you tonight! Are you blocking on the alt name of our dear Deleted, He-Who-Shall-Remain-nameless, AZN-pentrzn kun?

I was wondering whether "FeLingHi" is supposed to be Karaoke katakana for "Feelings"? I've been thinking Perry Como or OFFSPRING's lyrics for, "Feelings, Oh Oh Oh feelings..."

D'oh the penny finally drops!! I paid so little mind to our dearly deleted that I spent no time trying to work out his moniker.

I think I need lots of red tonight!!

Azn = Asian.

Thank you.

(it's a slang term to shorten the letters)

Azn = Asian.

Thank you.

Yeah, because typing those extra two characters is a killer.

Just a guess, but I'd say it was most likely bikkle, the guy who owns the board.

Would you like to try and fit your other foot in your mouth?

[stolid_revenge]

I'm a Mongoloid living in the US. One day I hope to become a fucked gaijin (hopefully in the way I'm wishing) Lezgo j-chicks!

I'm not that satisfied with my life in the United States and I probably won't be satisfied in Japan but it's that utter desperation that gives me greate pleasure.

[tonikoro]

Since this was stikyfied, I guess I'll take this opportune chance to introduce myself. I've been in japan for near 3 years straight, ExPat comics graphic novelist (Manga-ka), married, you know the deal, walking the nagoyan beat. Found this place via pal Robato-kun, and the rest is history.
