Rather than the tent itself, the lead or cast iron dead-weights used to secure the tent were deadly.

The TV just said that the tent was using a total of 300kgs of dead-weights.

Forgot to add;

People who train in martial arts that use this cane (the Rataan) as a weapon, describe it like being hit with a baseball bat or police baton, rather than a "whip" as most people would imagine.

5-15 strokes of the cane and 20 years in prison? Hmmm....Well, I got caned regularly at school and it was no big deal at all, so, in his shoes I would ask for 20-60 strokes of the cane and 5 years in prison, please.

I'm afraid the cane used…

Fantastic pic! Have you ever tried to get a table at the Yakitori stores?Not very gaijin friendly!

Look at the people overflowing into the street. I reckon it would be hard for the Emperor himself to get a table.

I've never had trouble getting a seat when there are open…

It will have the same effect on CO2 emiisions as a fart in a hurricane would.

That said, I think it is more of a cost cutting move by franchisers. Paying the 2 college kids behind the counter 5~10 hours of pay for a few graveyard shift customers just doesn't…

Don't ask me why but I simply can't stand the Ham Fighters...

Trey Hillman's trucker style mullet, perhaps?

Or maybe their penchant for signing up show-boat-hair-and-flair players like Shinjo, Darvish, Morimoto, etc...

I was surprised at the restraint the cop showed, he didn't even hit the suspect with the baton.

On "COPS", suspects get beaten with billy sticks, and their heads knee-grinded into the pavement for public drunkeness or drug posession.
