I actually saw a thing on TV about places in Japan that use a machine to inject fat into lean red meat. It looked pretty much just like marbled steak, from what I could see, but obviously I didn't get to taste it. Not that I want to.

I prefer…

Japan's overwhelming "shoganai" mentality doesn't help one bit.

When the Constitution was written, four months was deemed an appropriate amount of time for a president-elect to get his affairs in order and make the move to Washington (remember, this was horse-and-carriage days). Thus the original date of March 4th.

November was convenient as it was after the harvest,…

I've met Thane on a couple of occasions, actually. Decent, down-to-earth guy. Not at all impressed with his own celebrity; he just seems kind of amused by it.

He is fairly tall, and none of these girls are runway-model tall, so yeah, they're going to look short. But they're probably…

Sarge: OK, Arnie has gone against Bush on a few issues (I did my research, and came back, as per your kind suggestion). I'd say I stand corrected, but since I originally phrased it as a question, there's really no need. I guess I was just remembering him plumping for…

Sarge: "Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed McCain. Does that make him a traitor to the cause?"

Nah, that just makes him predictable. He's always stood by Bush, too, hasn't he? Not sure what your point is. Is Arnie supposed to be liberal or something? Because the idea was, see, that Ron…

"And yes Koda Kumi has tree stumps for legs..."

Those are "tree stumps"? I don't know... I think Kumi's pretty hot. Maybe not Jun-Hasegawa hot, but still. Rather those legs than the skinny, bony-kneed, muscle-less legs you see on so many Japanese models. They look like they'd fall apart if…

ImperiumMundi: "question:has a poor man ever given you a job?"

Don't be reductionist. Of course people want to make money. I simply believe that there need to be more checks in place to prevent the kind of crap that seems to have been happening at a rapidly increasing pace in…

Sarge:"74% of CEO's believe Obama would be disastrous for the nation"

Let's see... those are the CEOs who pocketed their investors money by the millions and allowed their companies to crash, but somehow managed to escape with their own personal fortunes.

I think what 74% of CEOs believe is that…
