It would be more appropriate for Moe to promote sticks. She could just gather a few from a nearby garden, and line them up with her arms and legs.
I think Suzanne is alright. Plus as a 21 year old you can rest assured that every conversation, every gesture is not geared to getting you to marry her and dragging you down into the fiery depths of hell.

What a feel-good story about a handful saved from a group of some 4000 out of work. You're my hero, Sakura.

So really the ex-Nova teachers aren't working at onsens at all (thanks for another misleading headline) but rather working from a Sakura office, if not from the multi-media centre they never left.
Read: most of them make the minimum 250. One guy makes 450.

Wow. This is the biggest piece of non-news I've seen here, and that's saying something. Wow. Looking forward to the next celeb who may be ready for marriage.

Hey gotta unwind on the weekend.
Perhaps JT should have made it Should marijuana use be legal?, given it is already illegal, but then again it doesn't make much difference, and everything is confusing anyway, especially after finishing off a 50 dollar baggy and getting lost on my way back from my munchie run.

Satomi, 21, is the best-leggist and Yoko, 25, is one of four girls chosen as "Best placard holdist". Arina, 19, is not contributing and is selfish. Word on the street is that Miho, 30, as the oldest has decided to take responsibility for that and has resigned.

I thought it said should marijuana use be legal. That's what happens when you smoke too much.
Make it legal and the price will come down and I'll buy something other than convenience store obento on my munchy runs.

In Japan? Not until the economy has slowed down further and the decreased productivity that ensues from lighting up is negligible. And certainly not for the million-odd shut-ins who don't need another reason to shun the outside world.

What would really get on this guy's nerve, is if the family of anyone he came to kill requested a cremation.

"I'm sorry mam, none of us can understand a word of what you're saying but if you're referring to the undoing of postal reform, our finest leaders have been working in it since Koizumi walked out the door. We don't want to be here anymore than you do. Damn it's cold in here."

So why did they choose 40 year-old Kyoka? That's a different segment of the population. In much the same way that 30 is a different league to 29. There must be some kind of mistake.

I agree with chibaman.
And consumers who pay double or triple the price for eel then find out said eel does not have Japanese nationality but a Chinese passport (oh my god) get no sympathy when the two are virtually indistinguishable from each other but for where the company prez says it is from.
Bah.

Listen to the five LDP members running for PM spewing their crap out on the streets of Shibuya about what they have to say and decide which is the best candidate to tackle these kinds of problems. No wait, they can't vote for that. So why are Aso and Koike and Yasano and co. out there in the first place? The show of a supposed democracy.
I've come to the correct opinion that the Japanese have taken 'tainted' food and mislabelling (sounds like a mistake when you put it like that) too far, even though it's nice for myself included to have such high standards in place. Re: the recent case of Misaka, you've got recalls all over the place now and at the same time every doctor or other health professional is on the record for saying that the health risk is insignificant. You would have to consume massive amounts of the 'tainted' product every day before there is any side effect. As for relabelling expiry dates and what not, again the health risk is not significant. And as the economy continues to shuffle it's way down the gutter and business conditions become more difficult or competitive, we'll continue to see these scandals. So what will the kanji of the year for 08 be? Fake won it last year so we can't have that again. I suggest hypersensitivity or insanity.
