I wonder if Sanma will push back the boundaries of comedy still further, by hitting a girl with a squeaky hammer, repeating what she says and falling over? Comedy gold.

Cleo - nobody's moaning here about women doing a full day's work. It's the women who don't do a scrap of work from the moment the ring goes on and still manage to report doing a bit of hoovering as a herculaean, exhausting task, so draining they can't muster a bit of conversation when the breadwinner comes home who are the object of many men's ire here.

Kan might as well talk of magic carpets. He'll be gone in three months, and the LDP will set the clock back two years (i.e. twenty-five) when they get returned to office.

Mrs Coughalot once tried giving me a boil-in-the-bag curry for my dinner after I got home from a 12-hour workday. She'd been to hula dancing club for an hour that afternoon, you see, and couldn't be bothered cooking.
She hasn't made that mistake since, nor has she been to hula club again. The house is nice and clean, however.

My wife was watching some nonsense about cloud formations being a foolproof predictor of earthquakes. According to what she saw, there will be a huge earthquake in Kanagawa prefecture exactly two weeks yesterday. June 8th. But I'm not holding my breath. This is the woman who told me eating bananas purges the body of radiation, and that Sanma is funny.

Hoser - So anyone who asks questions about the official government story is to be vilified? Many thanks for proving my point. QED.

Quite so.
They stay away because a) When you've seen one tall building... and b) outside the cities they just don't want Whitey talking funny.
Japanese tourism officials should look to successful promotion models from (dare I say it?) overseas, instead of expecting a crude cartoon of a cutesy character to impress the discerning traveller. Grown-ups don't base their destination choices on Nantoka-Kun.

I'll bet you a pound to a penny that Russell's knee-deep in groupies at this very moment. I don't understand what women love about this bloke, but I don't blame him for getting stuck in.

Hoserfella:
No I did not. I'd like you to retract that. What I said was:
Whenever you're ready. But thanks very much for proving such a perfect illustration of knee-jerk accusations of insanity when anyone proposes thinking.
Moderator: Please keep the discussion civil.

And about as effective as lots of other "unique" aspects of this place. i.e.proven wrong any number of times yet inertia keeps them in effect.

So people don't do bad things if being caught would hurt? How very reassuring.

Is it true that the rail companies bill the family for the cost of clean-up?

Surely if that were the charge, he'd be given a network TV series here.

LoveUSA - he looks like he's doing something right to me.
Rich as Croesus, doing what work he wants to do when he wants to and none that he doesn't, and getting into bed with Angelina Jolie every night in the certain knowledge that millions of women would fight to replace her in a heartbeat.
You see that expression? That's a satisfied smirk, well-placed.

Is this seaweed going to be extremely carefully labelled when it goes into the food chain?
Nope. They'll make a display of being seen to do something responsible for a week or two and then the backhanders will kick in and the stuff will be round onigiris nationwide. Someone will get caught, someone will make a tearful deep bow and resign, nobody will be punished and repeat and nauseam.

What a halfwit this gimp is.
"Right, we have a powerful guest, offering us sympathy in our time of disaster. What should I do?
First, I think I should make an unnecessary show of futile hostility over an unimportant issue. Never mind the fact that he could eradicate my declining has-been of a speck which is my country with a stroke of his pen.
"What would be the most effective way to show my pique? I know - I'll make a half-arsed stab at a language of which I am entirely ignorant (despite a dozen years of the most expensive education). This will, in one fell swoop, make it clear how stupid I am, and show my country's education as the unfit-for-purpose shambles that it is.
"Hmmm...something's missing. I know - I should do it in penmanship which would embarrass a nine-year-old. That'll show him".
What an utter dolt.

Hoser - no, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that the first thing investigators ask is cui bono. Here, Halliburton and PNAC clearly stood to benefit, and had the means to carry out the crime. Yet any suggestion that there may be more to it than Bad Brown Men Attacking Our Freedom Because They are Bad Men immediately results in hostility from those who wish to surrender critical thought.
We are taught to ask questions at school, but in an event as huge as 9/11 we are expected to suspend thought and just believe what we are told. That discrepancy makes many people wonder why.
I'm not saying anybody did it. I'm not saying anybody didn't do it, either - although I know I have a good alibi. I'm just saying people shouldn't be vilified for thinking.
