Imagine the tax revenue. It might even attract more tourists. You've got Japan. And then you've got Japan on WEED. Which sounds more interesting? The latter of course. Of course.

He should have died in the 80s. Perhaps 86 or so. Then the Icon would have been more or less untarnished. What did he really do in his later life except provide circus sideshow-like fodder for the global media?

That is awesome. I always expected those dreary dead looking buildings of Japan held within them a secret Gundam suit. Boyaa shaka!

Inaka and neverknow... 45 brands of beer? What? Name them. No way is there 45 brands of beer in Japan. No way. I dare you to name them ALL. You can't do it. 45 don't exist in Japan.
Otherwise I wonder if she poured the prerequisite 30 percent head. Nama is a rip off. Buy the bin.
Nice cup though. If I had the money I would drink from it.

Only in Japan (actually that is just a guess) can a 19 year old get a 13 year old to commit a crime and not get charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Nineteen year olds should know better. Charge her for all and let the 13 year old visit her in the detention centre. THAT will teach her a lesson.

My worst experiences have always come at the hands of United, but then I tend to fly them more often. I'm always afraid to ask them for anything. I think North American flight attendants have truly taken the magic out of the job. I used to have the impression that all flight attendants were akin to the ones Sam "Mayday" Malone would date on Cheers. Now they seem more like Carla the bar maid. Asian airlines still seem to value polite service and a youthful glow in their workers. I wonder how long that will last.

I'm allo for corporal punishment too. Let the family of the deceased don the latex once a year and enter the guy's cell with a baseball bat. Once a year, then let him heal up nice for the next anniversary. Gratuitous? Perhaps. Gratifying? For sure.

I bet they're carnies who have lost their jobs due to the recession. Chills. I hate carnies.

I make so much money that I would have lost cash standing in line and my wife would still have been pissed off because the stone was too small.

To hell with the cops arresting adults for drinking the bevy. My teenage friends and I are getting suited up for some vigilante justice. We've got a couple of iron bars all ready to kneecap and/or brain anyone over the age of 19 that dares to drink this stuff. Are YOU feeling lucky?

Likeitis... on semantics I will agree. No two situations are alike. There will always be differences. The one thing you can count on is the ineptitude of the Japanese Police.

So be on your guard for vans with smoked windows, Spa! advises. Better to humbly yield the right of way than risk a run-in with an intimidating hood.
Hahahahaaaaaa. I'm going to get me one of those mini-vans and terrorize the neighbourhood. No really, how emasculating for the Yaks. Like they had much of a manhood to begin with, with their Bon Jovi hair and cheap suits. No respect! I bet I can tell you who's been stealing all the bicycles now. That's what they'll be rolling around on next. The sound of bicycle bells will no doubt chill the spines of regular Japanese citizens in the months to come.
