My ticket to the US this summer is a whopping ¥260,000 with the #$%& surcharge. Christ on a trike that's taking it up the rear pure and simple. Especially since it's JAL economy, not 1960s Pan Am.

I still don't understand how/why the Japanese have accepted him. Is it because he's part Japanese? Because he's kuo-ta-?

While I'm not for murder, government workers these days pretty goddamn stupid. I'd hardly call them "innocent".

I went to school with a number of "graf" artists. They justified putting pieces on building and tagging everywhere by saying it was "art". Talk about immature - losers have nothing better to do than scribble on walls and piss everyone off?

Good idea. I'm not going to vote for ANYONE because what's the point? Neither of the two candidates now are going to do anything to change things.

So AA is actually planning on flying its planes now?
All joking aside, this will be cool ... for people flying AA and long-distance. My average flight with them is 2 hours. That's too short for me, especially to fork out $10 for.
A few years back Boeing had an in flight internet service called Connexion. I used it on JAL going back and forth over the Pacific and it was $20 for 24 hours of usage. Surfing the interweb was a great way to kill time on an ordinarily boring flight. I would imagine if AA isn't too greedy or stupid (cough cough) then they'll price theirs similarly (or watch it die.)
What I'm wondering is, Boeing pulled the plug on their service because of lack of interest. Why does AA suddenly think it will work?

Nope. I got a "you're the next kumicho. Grass cutting is next saturday at 9am."
This furoshiki thing sounds cool. I could have used this and the support when I first got here.

Hanging was too quick. Surely would have been a suitable medieval torture for him

Killing children is "an inhuman criminal act". I hope they kept his hood off when they opened that trap door- he deserved to see what was coming.
