    MOS burgers are overpriced, soggy, take forever, and you might as well eat them with a spoon as they fall all over in squishy clumps,the cheese tastes weird, and the stores are usually empty which must say something.

    He was just another immature incompetent jerk who lost his temper, hardly any cold-blooded killer. What did he know from babies ? He'll do time, worry not. Maybe he'll mature in the process.

    You can buy chahan, gyoza, etc. in the frozen section of combinis for a hundred yen and they have fair-sized portions so it is easy to eat lunch here for a hundred yen if you wanted to. You can eat real cheap in Tokyo if you want.

    What is it with climbing mountains in the dead of winter ? I mean, common sense should prevail without hesitation. Doesn't look good for these folk though. Best of luck to them.

    Yeah, yeah, whatever. I go to Staba sometimes, Tully's sometimes, the girls are friendly and efficient, taste of coffee is fine, you pay a bit more but you are in a kind of 'club' when you go there, for people willing to spend a bit more.So all the ketchi gaijin can stay away if you like but if you're that hard up you can't afford a decent cup of coffee now and then maybe it's time you got a better-paying job. People like to splurge on small luxuries, it makes them feel special. Live it up !

    Didn't he get killed off a few years back in that second X-Men movie ?

    As a marketing tool, Hallow'een is good for the economy, as a festivity it's overrated, merely yet another excuse to get legless.

    As if Romney will be able to do anything effective immediately, how naive are Americans ? How is he going to create 12 million new jobs ? Giving another guy a crack at it is all very well and good but Bush was in for 8 years and can anyone remember one hugely effective thing he did ? Why is he hated so much then ? Why isn't he invited to any of the GOP conventions ? Electing Romney will mean the heavens will open and everyone will live on easy street ? Give me a break.

    They come in a dozen sizes, shapes, and textures back home and I always bring back a hefty supply. So they're only available at Seiyu then ? How about conbinis ? I agree on the salty comment, that's why some of the less salty varieties such as the PB balls or biscuits go down a little easier. I wonder which varieties are coming ? More info please !

    I saw the BBs play Budokan in the 1990s so some of this info is erroneous. Their sets were tired even then.

    Elvis never drank beer ever. His bloating was caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, a twisted-colon, and polypharmacy, all of which contributed to his early demise. That and he didn't care about being alive much anymore what with having done it all to the Nth degree: he was burnt-out big time.

    Impressive achievement I'd say though I don't care for them. I walked out of their last gig at the Dome halfway through. Jagger is too much of a prima donna.

    I went to the local gov't office yesterday to get an official copy of my gaijin card (gaikokujin torokushou shoumeishou) and I couldn't find the normal form which was always there. The woman asked "Are you looking for 'jyuminhyou ?" Turns out we auslanders don't need to worry about a special form for foreigners anymore and can apply for a jyuminhyou paper just like the locals do. I was dumbfounded and considered that a real step forward here. At least I did until I saw the form and it doesn't pander to the non-fluent: if you can't read your basic 2200 kanji then good luck with it. Be careful what you wish for !

    I was down in Harajuku today and saw this protest. The streets were all closed off and impromptu concerts were taking place on the beds of large flatbed trucks among other things. The tons of cops looked mighty peeved and were turning around this way and that not sure what they should be doing. Passersby were taking pix and many stood transfixed all along Omotesando feeling somehow caught up in the moment and alternately gobsmacked but the sheer numbers of well-organized protestors. Go for it !
