Anyone remember when the Shinkansen had smoking cars? When you opened the door to pass through that car you could only see about 8 rows deep the smoke was so thick.

It wasn't that long ago smoking was still being allowed on Airdo flights. Quite the airline.

Last I checked there were 43 ladies between her and Champ.

Sunday was a glorious day at Motegi.

Nakagami better keep his sponsors lined up. That is the only thing that will keep him in a seat in MotoGP next year.

OK to go with 10 friends to an Izakaya or bar and party as long as you want, but every park I know of is forbidding anyone to sit on a sheet under the cherry blossoms in the name of Covid prevention.

Washington Wokes would be so much more fitting.

and you can be like Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld and wash your vegetables while showering to save time.

Maybe there are some unemployed, former sumo wrestlers the 5XL box can be donated to.

The 2021 MLB postseason has sure turned into a big "Meh". Can all of the remaining teams lose?

Obviously Ono never heard "Don't Bring A Knife To A Gunfight"

"We, the IOC, will never abandon the athletes...." Bach said.

Hahahahahahahaha. Just go check out the language in the no liability waivers the IOC forces every athlete to sign to participate in the Tokyo Olympic games.

Has anyone seen the Japan government release any evidence showing bars, restaurants, and alcohol are the main conduits for Covid transmissions?

Sadly, surely an announcement is coming soon of the Japan GP being canceled as well. MotoGP canceled their pans this week for an October race at Motegi.

" Existing guidelines allow a maximum of 5,000 people or 50 percent of a venue's capacity, whichever number is greater, until the end of this month." Is the limit the greater or smaller? Yesterday's JT article "Gov't considering quasi-state of emergency in Tokyo during Olympics" stated the opposite, "Until the end of this month, attendance at big events will be limited to a maximum of 5,000 people or 50 percent of a venue's capacity, whichever number is smaller."

It is quite shocking to find out there is now an all-time high of 1.1 billion smokers globally. Ten countries make up 66% of this population, of which Japan is one of the them, which is not so shocking.

NHK's coverage of this on New Watch 9 was a priceless illustration of Japan on this topic. Reporting how Fukushima prefecture has hired an army of college students to help the elderly make online appointments. The student they showed had an iPad. On the screen was written "Gateway - Timeout - Error". The kid just kept hitting refresh like he was playing a video game fighting a monster. The old lady he was assisting just sat there with her head hung.

@ Starbucks "Ohtani and Trout maybe an Angel's year." Going to take more than those two to get the Angels out of last place in American League West.

Man...I was sure those two love birds were going to make it. What are the chances of this??

I wish we would get a choice of which vaccine to take. Pfizer is certainly preferable over Astra.

FLAC is lossless, therefore superior to MP3 which is a dumbed down version to reduce the file size. A CD is naturally superior to an MP3 file for this reason. The format of the "digital download" is critical in answering the question of which is better. vs Vinyl is simply personal preference, which seems highly correlated to the listener's age.

The GOAT vs The Young Buck

Electric Boogaloo

Had one a few days ago. Not great enough to ever have another.

The look on Hara-kantoku's face throughout the 4 games was priceless.

I don't know why Repsol Honda hasn't courted him yet, he's obviously improving each and every race, and being Japanese could raise the profile of MotoGP in Japan.

Sh1mon M4sada, compare the attendance (2019 and prior) of the Motegi MotoGP and the GPs in Spain.   Spain has way, way more MotoGP fans, hence Repsol Honda is signing Spanish riders.  Trying to cultivate a declining market in Japan is not Repsol's immediate interest.

Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza will never be topped by a newer Yakuza film.

Have ridden along this road many times.  Very scenic and enjoyable.

I have never needed this to enjoy drinking at home and never will.

Conbini sandwiches are as nasty as can be!!  No one has a reason to ever eat these ever.  Has anyone in Japan ever been famished with no alternative except these?
