was thinking about getting my back done...but too expensive here in tokyo.
in oz my guy charges me $100 an hour....he does a pretty cool work - but has an unhealthy fascination with koi

If you're thinking of getting done in the back, you probably don't want to be hanging around with a bloke who has a fascination for koi...

I don't have a great deal of difficulty making the link between the yakuza and British nobility, so this story isn't surprising in the least...

All tattoos are pretty silly.
In my youth, I had a map of Australia tatooed on one of the cheeks of my arse.
Being young, I was still svelte and my glutes were hard. After discovering beer and good food, my once dainty derriere grew, literally exponentially, to the extent that the Japanese pronunciation of the Earth, aasu, and my identically anunciated "arse" could indeed have been synonymous, while what had once been the Great Southern Land was transformed into Pangea.
A mid-life crisis and return to the weight levels of my teens subsequently left me with an arse that resembles the mask from the Scream movies. What had decades ago been Down Under down under now bears a closer resemblance to Italy than any other country, which I suppose is a lesson because it's like being permanently kicked up the arse for being so stupid in the first place (Mind you, my arse is a lot hairier now than it was when I first got the ink, so at least it has the authenticity if you keep Italian women in mind...).
With, er, hindsight, considering the only time the tat got to see the light of day, it really wasn't that cool whenever I mooned people all those years ago, after all....

P.S. Now I'm trying for dreadlocks except it's a little harder than I thought because the only places hair sprouts on my head is out of my nostrils and ears...

If I'm to understand what your saying here Hair, is that the map has expanded to the point where you got to move Ayers Rock out the way to have a wank, deshou?

Don't know about that but I bet the blowholes of the Great Australian Bight are a highlight.

Gentlemen, those areas are both quaint...let's not forget that just below the map of Tasmania lies the Australian Antarctic Territory, a clump of land bigger than Europe (and home to Aliens, Predators and Happy Feet).

You trying to say there is something hanging down between Tasmania and the Artic besides Japanese whalers?

Paul Watson?

Paul Watson?

You must waffle, waffle before giving to Samurai Jerk again.

Actually, I think Paul Watson is what's generally obscured by the Map of Tasmania.
