Did Taro die again?

[AssKissinger]

I remember he was bitching about the post bugs and said he was going to drop out for awhile but this is getting ridiculous.

Sung to the tune of Tommy:

"Taro can hear me?"

[Steve Bildermann]

I dropped out and nobody noticed.

I'm a very un necessary gaijin.

AK: Taro is going VERY fine, and enjoying the sun and the sea a lot, these days...

i'll add one more in case it is not 100% clear:

this postcard from Taro just arrived in 3Yen's mailbox. thought you guys might want to read it...

Dateline: April 23, Passover in Pyongyang

Yikes!
When last you heard from me, the nice folks from the Russian Cat Circus graciously have given me free passage to Shanghai on a tramp steamer of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Well---SLAM!---the ship got hit by an eighty-meter, rogue wave in the South China Sea. It was like the entire ship's contents were spun like the Wheel-of-Fortune(c) and I lost the turn of the wheel. I re-broke the leg that I broke last February when huge stack of kitty litter fell on me. We had to take a detour to DPRK for medical care and repairs.

Not to worry. Unlike America where I'm denied all health insurance coverage under the charming "pre-existing conditions" clause, the Workers' Party Cat-caregivers Collective No 13 has set me up with 100% free care in the Yongbyon Hospital.

Yongbyon is fun and there are so many urbane and educated doctors and physicists around. When I get better that say I could go out in the hospital's gardens in the shadow the Yongbyon Juche High-energy Research Facility next door.

Is that great or what?!

Oddly, my doctor keeps on saying I should not try to fly home to Japan yet to my cushy job in the 3Yen.com Media Network. He keeps on telling me that Yongbyon hospital is the best place in the world to relax until my leg re-heals sometime in late May.

Please bear with these occasional postcards since the Yongbyon Hospital does not have the Internet because they say it interferes with heart pacemakers and there is a lot of background static from the Juche plutonium reactor next door.

Not at all dude. Taro is the crazy Uncle, and you are the ever watchful Elder everyone expects to always be around as the solid foundation. At least that's how I see it.

Thanks Jim.

I'm here but I've been having some 'head' problems over the past few weeks and Chisato has locked me out of the computer room during the day.

Actually I think it has helped. Going to back to LA in June for more 'therapy'

...and yes fans I *will* reprise the 'midnight Internet camera hello from Venice beach to all the FG in Japan stunt'
