My advice to those coming to Tokyo

The word is "piqued," not peaked. My interest was piqued.

Even a god among men such as myself occassionally makes a mistake.

[Fullback]

A normal person would be appreciative that someone helped them stop looking like a dolt in public.

I'm not too sure the "god among men" moniker is accurate, but the Dunning–Kruger effect sure seems to be in play.

We won't talk about your inability to punctuate properly. I think you do very well for someone who is not a native English speaker.

[Tsuru]

Oh dear, you've done it now...

who's the god then? (amongst men such as yourself...)

Please tell me you didn't actually take my response seriously.

Good question. I worship at the Temple of Greji. It's a Confucian thing. I have to respect the elderly.

[waruta]

I hear that. Respect for the elders is sadly in decline amongst youngsters these days...they should really kneel before me and show some "respect"...

[Fullback]

Please tell me you didn't actually take my response seriously.

I realize that it's impossible for you to be genuine and admit that you're like the rest of us lowly pissants who don't know everything in the world.

Being a Q of the Continuum, I outrank most of the usual gods, but I do require the occasional sacrifice for my gratification and ego, providing it isn't a goat (that's a real stiffy killer)....

[Coligny]

and I saw that she was actually reading a manga as she inched along (wtf?).

You see...

Some people have huge problems with the use of the verb "reading" when used to describe people looking at pictures in comic books...

And I think they are quite right...

You don't read pictures, you look, stare, glance at them...

Since you mention that, would slobber and drool be transitive or intransitive in this light?

Before you come to Japan you can watch the videos here or on my YouTube below http://tinyurl.com/SUCCESSFULINTOKYO

I hope you get something out of them, like some not so #%!@ed advice.

TOKYO JOE

Just remember to stay the hell out of my onsen you hair beast.

Apparently folks here are confusing me with you.

That aint right. You sound more retarded than a snake that's been run over. So much so I put you in my new podcast. Enjoy it Mr TTTokyolio.

Of course, you sound a lot smarter than some of these other folks...

[BigInJapan]

Hey Tokyo Joke, give it up already.
If you've got nothing worthwhile to post on FG, restrain yourself.
No one is interested in your attempts at bumping the number of views on your really pathetic YouTube channel.
You've got way too much time on your hands between eikawa lessons evidently - get a hobby or two.

[TOKYO JOE]

Well I got a special message just for you at my channel if you care to actually watch the video, and you get a very special mention friend, to all of the people in Tokyo Land.

But I see the hidden anger in you, from your humble origins as a high school dropout to the grand heights of being an ESL in Tokyo, something I never did and wouldnt have to do, I started here in banking before you were even born, so I don't deny you have traveled a long way friend.

So enjoy your shochu with your ESL TTTokyolios, while I drink my fine Suntory - and don't you forget to set the alarm for Monday morning classes Mr Big, because I worry about you friend.

Cheers.

That's the level of quality trolling linked with the psychotic mods that did it for me on JT... you know... the little tips that tells you it's not just trolls on the other side... it's also complete retards writting from their padded cells at the asylum...

this is garbage

dude, stop with the crappy idiotic videos and spend some time on your mental health

you are presently very out of touch

[TOKYO JOE]

On a side note, Successful in Tokyo is an antonym to English Teacher.

Thanks friend. I already know you ESL teachers are struggling, and I feel for you. So that's why I have some fine pointers on my homepage for y'all to listen to how to be successful here in Tokyo Town.

Take care TTTokyolios.

PEACE

Well friend, aint it funny that you spent all that time and energy doing stuff I said aint worth #### here. Well done.

it also goes to show the value of a "bullshit" college degree. I got one also, taught english as a youngin 21-23, and had to come back to Seattle and hustle my ass off developing a skill. i can't imagine if i had been at a school i loved and stuck around for 10 yrs.

See? It sounds like if you had listened to my advice in the link, you would have worked yourself out 10 years earlier. But at least you picked yourself up after your scrapes and experiences here.

What do you do now for a crust apart from lashing out with bad grammar against strangers who are trying to help you?

PEACE

I can't decide if this is trolling or spam, or a combination of the two, but I'm pretty sure I can smell SPAM (possibly accented with the faint odor of Troll-du-Jour).

Mods:The majority of TOKYO JOE's posts in this and other threads contain links to his podcast site, statements urging people to visit his site, or both. I think the agenda is pretty clear. Other than personal involvement I don't see much difference between this and a spambot (except that spambots are much more intelligent).

In the meantime ... another addition to my Ignore list.

[Taka-Okami]

I actually know Tokyo Joe in real life.

He is a 45 year old Eikaiwa teacher who unfortunately lost his job last year. Please give him a break....

You have got to be kidding. If this is true then TOKYO JOE is truly a TOKYO JOKE. An out-of-work eikaiwa teacher lying about his past and claiming to teach people how to succeed in Japan? HAAAAAAAR!! Classic.

Why on earth does someone who's generally disparaging other forum members deserve a break?

[Coligny]

Fixed for you...

I think you have this backwards. Since you know him in real life, please tell him to give us a break.

No friends, I appreciate your interest but if you listened to the first podcast you would know who I am by now. I reveal the real Tokyo Joe there so would encourage everyone to listen. I wish I were 45 again but sadly not, I retired in my 30s but that was over 2 decades ago after working in banking and with a boutique professional firm here and I was lucky because my family has been associated with this country for many years even before I was born and first came here.

I appreciate the professionalism/of some of you ESL folks out there but never had the privilege or time to join your ranks and I hear that you are doing things very tough at the moment so you have my sympathy so I have brodcast a few pointers especially for those folks wanting to be successful here in Tokyo or for other folks like you who are just wanting to survive here in Tokyo but doing something other than the great privilege of teaching English which I respect as your decision after your liberal arts education - after all its a natural step in a way so you should be proud.

PEACE
TOKYO JOE

No friends, I appreciate your interest but if you listened to the first podcast you would.....blah blah blah

You forgot the part about your dick being 12 inches long and using it on various models, idols, AV stars, etc., since banging chicks is how most of us measure success in life, but you have a podcast. Hey, congrats, that's.....just.....great.

Actually... i wuz thinking aboot this while driving (stuck in the week end jam with typhoon level wind shaking me shitless... knowing how fast the weather cango postal around here and that i was in the low area were flashflood are not uncommon... i/e midtown...).

Why do Rob Pongi and the other have to pay for advertisement while this guy make our browsing miserable (to the point were I miss Mc Tojo) AND at the same time advertise non stop for his podcasts ?
