88% lean hamburger, French truffles, paper towel at a decent price, and last but not least, lamb and rice dog food that doesn't cost a fortune, what's not to like? Me lo-o-o-o-o-ve Costco!

The word 'flyjin' has been coined, evidently, on Twitter to describe those who left.

So, if food was the object, why did the dog insist in sleeping on his master's grave, and not go directly to the restaurant and hang out there?

What an attitude. Hates taxi drivers supposedly because they pollute, but takes cabs anyway, and then gets p*ssed if they make a mistake.
Insulting people who have taken the time to read your journalistic efforts, in the second to last paragraph, is a bit dumb, don't you think? You can bet I'll pass up your next article. 'Goody two shoes'? Pull this crap in the US and see where it lands you. Do take a few taxis back in the US and do let us know if you think they are superior. I take it it's been a while...

Wrong. Pedophiles are interested in pre-pubescent females.

They're in my neighborhood too, and they wear fatigues and drive Jeeps. They scowl a lot too, I run into them in Lawson's sometimes. Absolutely cheerless...

This is Security Theater. I don't think that every knee-jerk reaction to attempts (ie, removing shoes after the shoe bomber)makes us safer....tarmac crew, maintenance people and the people who deliver those yummy dinners (snicker) and baggage handlers are not subjected to security other than their initial background check. They don't go through any of the checkpoints, or X-ray machines. That's a couple of hundred or more, depending on airport size, people who are allowed free access to aircraft, inside and out, with NO security checks on a daily basis. But they send pilots and flight crew through! Who has more opportunity to smuggle something on board, a pilot who has to go through standard security, or a baggage handler or caterer with an axe to grind?
They're full of crap about the machines not storing images...an actor in Spain was asked to sign his backscatter X-ray image by several airport employees.
In no other situation in the US are you strip-searched (virtually or otherwise) or aggressively patted down without a warrant, or at least 'reasonable cause'. Simply boarding a plane is not 'reasonable cause'.I assume people are putting up with it because it makes them feel safer, whether they really are safer or not is debatable...

Ah, yes, the venerable 'sh*t test'. 'Do these pants make my butt look fat?' 'You decide' etc. Unfair to expect a person to have ESP and satisfy your every whim.
Charming.

Yes, that's the one. I think you need a reservation, but you could check...I haven't been there in ages, I live in Kobe and went there when I helped my son move up there for university years ago.

Mexican? Pancho Villa in Sagamihara.
It's not Tokyo I know, but it's damned good Mexican,and the margaritas are a good size, not like those dinky ones you usually get in Japan.
I'd love to post a link, but you can look it up easily.

Who knew that an attractive girl in a maid's costume had all that power?
The posts about it being exhibitionism and not classy make me laugh as most of those posters live in countries where women wear their thong straps out of butt-crack jeans, have antlers, miles of cleavage out, have all their bra straps exposed....

They noticed him hanging around, and the boy said 'That guy is creepy' and it wasn't long before the guy crossed the street and attacked him.
