steve, well I don't know whose house you ate at, but love it or hate it I can't see how it'd taste the same. It is gnrly "blander", however a subtley made taste that is often very different house to house and region to region in my experience. When watching…

That's weird. When I saw the news on TV last night I assumed it was a mafia/ gang killing or something. If he froze to death, did he think he could fly somewhere for free w/o freezing? Must be mentally disabled or something.

Steve, forgot, looks "nice"

How is nice only a part of things since the 60's? I think presentation is a very old aspect of Jpns cuisine. Though perhaps less so inside the average home at times, which was often very poor.

Steve, re the countryside, not sure how what you said contradicts what I wrote. It sounds almost the same. I lived for several years in the country in Japan and now in a large city that is on the verge of rural areas, has rural areas in it. As you…

I think I need to see pix of each of the versions being modelled before I can make any final decisions. Front and back, full body and close up. Maybe those who said they are buying these underwear could start a thread of "post your panty" in the JT forums.…

yes yabits,

all the jumping to conclusions and seemingly willful ignorance of cultural values/ situations on these boards is really annoying. It's hard to breathe in here.

Who knows what happened. Maybe he was bullied, maybe he was a bully and the other guy took revenge, maybe he had real…

Based on this picture, I would like to see her showing off the whole line of this season's suits.

We are all missing something melonade.

It says he turned himself in, then it says he was arrested on suspicion of attempting to steal another car. It is very hard to understand these stories sometimes. I took it to mean he turned himself in, at that time he mentioned he…
