I volunteer to taste test the samples

I'm ashamed of the TSA

Dialect done, done right, is funny. It's not racist. It's just teasing. Now, as I don't speak Japanese a lot of this bit went over my head but I liked the idea. It made me smile. So well done Ishii-san.

The US position improves the closer we get to the day we GTF out!

He's lived in Japan for 30 YEARS & is FLUENT. The fault is not on his side. & we ALL know this. ----- PS I am aware of the USA's "sterling" record on race. If it's wrong in one country it's wrong in the other.

It was a horrible weapon & a horrible thing to do. But the other inevitable choice was an invasion which would have made Japan a nation of corpses. They were training civilians to fight a modern army with spears or to run at tanks with explosives!!! Invasion would have been the other horrible choice. As it was, Japan was cauterized, a war ended, & a nation got to survive. There were two horrible choices, & the one less horrible taken.

I had only thought of Russell as a whirlwind, passionate about what he is doing of course. It is a wonderful revelation to learn that he thinks about all the aspects of the business.

Historical irony much?

does it do HDR?

I feel "sparking sake" is a prettier name. Like liquid fireworks.

at serrano ..... no because kevin spacey's character is more interesting. boner is just nasty. (as cleveland would say)

Good point OssanAmerica. I think the Gods love irony.

accidents happen. the tourist is not to blame, but i'm sure there's going to be a rather uncomfortable conversation at someone's next performance review.

When I lived in Japan as a child, I had friends of all shades & hues. We were all Americans together. Then the family moved to Hawaii. There was a boy named Harold Harada. I learned his name later on, byt my first day of school, he ran up to me & said "Get [out] of here, white trash." It was the nicest thing he ever said to me, over the next two years we were in the 50th state.

Harming these gentle creatures would be an unforgiveable atrocity. I hope those folks making the case will appeal as far as they can, even to the Supreme Court. In the mean time, perhaps they can get some sort of stay, to suspend construction for the time being?

fair point 1glenn

why dont they axe this hirai person?

I wish you much joy **

how about ..... DON'T START NONE, WON'T BE NONE!

The Otaku!

I vote Musashi, because he knew how to win without fighting sometimes.

works for me! i'll take a double with a hint of soda (to bring out the nose) PS NO ICE!

It's a question in search of an answer.

I hope the venue for swimming looks like a kappa

well good for you, you little minx! ;-)

The afterlife has become a hipper, more swingin' place now

Take a moment to savor the irony of Republican support for secession.

start it up

It's NOT the woman's fault. It's the man's fault.
