Are you talking to yourself.

[stillnosheep]

Hey, that's my line!

[Morning After]

Hey, that's my line!

What are you doing and how`s the grass going?

[aha yes]

I'm flattered, but remind me what you said that I was supposed to pay attention to and get offended by?

[kurogane]

I didn't notice he had gone. Not that I don't notice him, simply that he seemed to be around when he was around, and then not around when he wasn't around anymore.
I think that he is harbouring a Secret Life outside of Gaijinpot.
Bloody Canehdeeans.

[aha yes]

Not quite as lame as the Royal Canadian Air Farce, but close.
Anyways, apologies, you imperialist world wrecker you.

How was your trip to Izu ? Did you butter some biscuits while you were down there ? What did you do ?

Your allies have been in dire straits lately and are in need of your magic touch...

[aha yes]

It was verrrrrry relaxing. Stayed in Atagawa, which is a one-horse onsen town halfway down the peninsula. Had our own ocean-view ofuro on the back porch, all cedar and filled/drained with piping hot life-sustaining water at our own convenience. Weather wasn't great but who cares, we just soaked and drank wine and smoked the whole time. I'll post a pic or two on the Onsen Pics thread later. And yeah, with so much bathing we barely wore clothes for two days so it was hard to resist buttering the bread over and over and over... Monkey see monkey screw

Oh, and yesterday we stopped by Mishima on the way back. Huge jinja there (Mishima Taisha) honoring the god of Fujisan's father and the god of business. An old friend of mine is a daughter in the family of priests that's run the place for 17 generations, so we got our own private tour and tea backstage.

As for the dire straits, I was actually disappointed to see how badly you're getting your ___ kicked WITHOUT me (go eku!). I feel so redundant.

On a side note, this morning when I was walking to work I walked by the exact same girl three times. I noticed her the first time coz she was a hotty, then the second time she walked by (this is a long straight wall-lined road, mind you, so no chance she was ducking around the corner and making a loop) I thought maybe I was having deja vu or that she was the twin of the first. The third time she walked by was just spooky. Don't know what to make of it. Post-natsuyasumi illusions, a wrinkle in time, too much hash for breakfaast, the cicadas' screeches eating into my brain...

definitely hash-induced.
most people believe it is a mind altering substance i beg to differ.

in my past, in another country... several of us planned to attend an outdoor concert...

we prepared, like most diligent ppl would, by making 2 batches of cookies ... 1 without, for the roadtrip and 1 with, for the enhancement of our musical experience once we reached the venue.

We ate most of the one batch as we took them out the oven, polishing off the crumbs as we turned off the expressway and into country lanes.....

after like what seemed an hour of driving down this treelined road, someone was astute enough to mention that no cars had passed us AT ALL since we left the highway. After a few minutes of silence and contemplation, we all agreed. In fact we had seen no sign of life at all.
One of our party then did the dirty deed by commenting that perhaps we had become entangled in a time-slip and were now waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the past.....
another few minutes were devoted to contemplation.. when, much to our awe and suprise.... a very old automobile came trundling down the road... open top, lady and a man in said vehicle... dressed in the appropriate attire for the car....
we pulled the van over to discuss this phenomena more...
we piled out ... trying to vocalise more than the WOW YEAH HEYs that were issuing forth from our mouths...

that was when ANOTHER and ANOTHER and ANOTHER vintage car drove by. The drivers and passengers all dressed in period ... serene and totally unaware of us time travellers stranded by the side of the road.

Were we invisible? where were we? WHEN were we? and HOWTHE FECK were we going to be able to get back???


one of our party ran into the road, shouting and waving hands... begging for one of the trundling cars to stop and help poor marooned us.... thereby disproving the thoery that we were invisible....

turns out they were a vintage car club, out for their sunday rambling road trip, on their way to some country pub to enjoy lunch....

we on the otherhand ate the wrong cookies and missed the concert...

[Blues]

Oh right Eku, I love hash cookies,

I can't believe you stopped through Mishima without trying the Unagi(freshwater Eel). Skip the temples, like you care anyway. And I guess you didn't buy any Unagi Pie either !? Two of the biggest things you missed out on...then again, the Mishima I am referring too is in Shizuoka or are what you talking about different ?

[aha yes]

I don't like eel, but as I said I went to visit a friend, a real live person, not to sample their products.

FYI I like temples, Tojo, but as spiritual places, not political ones.

Dunno bout that the Irish Airfarce is a farce not be reckoned with, a sum total of 6 planes all with propellors driven by winding up laccy bands.
