That would basically mean no foreign travel for me. All I do when I'm on vacation is get drunk.

Just don't walk home alone... but getting too drunk pretty much guarantees you will be...

So you're saying I should get outcall service?

Isn't that the same as in-room laundry service? Fluff and fold?

Fight fans probably remember Mike Bernardo from K-1's heyday. It seems he has passed away at the age of 42. Suicide is suspected.

Another one drunk in the snow?

There are links to this story from PerthNow. In another version of the story on another net paper as some poster points out, ski resorts in Japan have a great fucking way of making the area 'safe' for users who don't know the place. That is - they leave streams and other waterways unfenced so they can remove snow more easily.

Yeah, and if some people fall down and drown or die from exposure to cold in those unfenced places that's just too fucking bad, aint it? I mean it's so easy to navigate icy, slippery places especially when streams and ditches and depressions there are unmarked. Fucking irresponsible not to have signs and fences. They've got them at other ski resorts in other places and countries so it's too logical for the Niseko ward office/property owners:-x or whoever to put signs and protective barriers/fences around dangerous areas? Morons.

You mean "deli" services?

Will a rope from the bar to your hotel room suffice?

So much for your own personal responsibility, huh?!

Was he drinking with mates? Where were they?

Do indeed remember Maiku. He had a hot run for a year or two. It sounds like he was doing all right as a teacher/coach in retirement. Wonder what went down?

Were you from the design team of the Ford Pinto ?

When your business is called "tourism" dumbproofing a minimum the surroundings look like a smart decision...

[Coligny]

Pills... lots of pills...

I remember when I met him quite a few years back. He was a bit out of shape and came to this restaurant for a friend's wife's b-day dinner.

Some Irish nutters were at a close table and started talking shit to him (not knowing who he was). He stood up (and when he stands up he is so fucking big) and called them out.

The Irish blokes realized who he was and asked if they could buy him a drink.

At this time he was looking like Tank Abbott but much taller. It looked like he had an alcohol issue by the way he was drinking... but who the hell dont?

I loved watchin his fights... especially the cro-cop fights cause they both are just beastly and have that aura of "im gonna kill you" when they are in the ring.

Me thinks that he was on the bottle too much, stopped, started training back in South Africa, and went back to boozing then pills.

Sad to hear (and even guess how) but he was a kick ass fighter.

Suicide. Yeah, sure, that's the ticket.

[Sa_Race]

Any news about our US "jumper" from Osaka?

My inner conspiracy theorist wants to believe he was randomly bludgeoned to death by a japanese testing his swing with his brand new tyre lever (foreigners are tough and they don't die). And the J-guys went with this suicide cover-up story ; two hate crimes in the same city in the same week, not good for business.

Russian girl's killing probed

Police have launched a murder investigation after finding the blood-soaked body of a 19-year-old Russian at her home in Yokohama on Friday.

Anna Filimonova is believed to have died around 8 a.m. Thursday from massive blood loss after being stabbed in the chest and abdomen.

A male Japanese acquaintance of Filimonova called the police around 3 a.m. Friday, saying she had injured her hand with a kitchen knife, the police said.

Officers arrived about 15 minutes later and found her already dead. A Peruvian national in his 30s was also in her apartment when the officers turned up.

The Peruvian man told them he had visited her apartment and found Filimonova already dead, with a kitchen knife lying next to her body. He said he threw the knife into a river in front of the building in a panic. The police later retrieved the knife.

Both men said they had visited her because they were unable to reach her by phone, and had found the front door unlocked.

Let me guess, it also gets ruled a suicide

[Samurai_Jerk]

Yes, because disposing of evidence that won't link you to the crime is the best way to avoid jail.

Throwing it in a nearby river is obviously the best way to do it

...then tell the cops where you threw it to throw them off

Taro is currently in the US. I'm sorry to say that his mother (89) has just past away and he flew back for the funeral. He had been notified that her health had taken a turn for the worse and as he was preparing to to the states, he was notified that she passed. He will probably be with us online shortly, but RIP mom and Taro, I think that all of FG members' thoughts are with you and your family at your time of grief.

Very sorry to hear this news.

Taro: My condolences to you and your family.

Very sorry to hear this news.

Taro: My condolences to you and your family.

While I'm tempted to say she had a very good inning, in the long run that won't ease his pain. Take care Taro, and remember the good times you shared with her.

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

Taro,
Condolences on your loss. I hope you can find time in your grief to celebrate and thank your mother. I certainly thank her for giving me a good mate.
May your mother rest in peace.

[Mike Oxlong]

Taro,

I'm very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. May you and your family find peace and strength in this difficult time.

Extraordinarily sad news. Eighty-nine is a pretty good run. Hope there were a lot of old queens around her to keep her entertained 'til the end (she lived in the world's old queen epicenter).
