Why are these girls in disguise? Are they hiding from Anpanman, the weakest hero in history?

Hosomaki, what a place. Haven't been there for a while. It became inaccessible, because of the increasing crime rate, and was shut down.

"Kanagawa was quoted by the police as saying he also thought of killing one of his sisters". Two things - you have to sink pretty low or…

"This worked well for Hawker, didn't it?" Well no, no it didn't. But romulus is all muscle and eats enough chanko nabe to handle himself. I guess I wouldn't recommend girls approach men they don't know. But it depends on the case, and depends if it's romulus - he might…

romuchan, I would argue the opposite, just for fun. What these nutcases need is a smile or even a hello. I imagine if you can see something apparently to be avoided, then a whole lot of other people have come to the same conclusion, avoided, and his downward spiral will…

Congrats JT I think you'll have a lot more clicking around now. If I develop a RSI in my left index finger I will be seeking compensation.

Sorry I don't think the Chinese and Koreans will empathise much with you gov. A handful of people abducted is not really comparable to invading, occupying and slaying tens of thousands. And as for the English version, they'll have a hard time drumming up a care factor. Barking up the…

southofreality, I just wanted to be a big man by throwing in some Japanese. No, not really, I mean it is news about Japan, right? If I wrote some Korean or something it would be more inappropriate. I applaud you for your efforts.

The reason I wrote "誰でも良かった is looking…

I concur with Sundog, and I grow weary of attempts to distinguish the Japanese from the rest of the world. It's time we just cut to the chase and went back to war.

Of the three quotes that have started here, one has garnered the massive total of 2 replies to date, another a walloping 4 replies, and the third and initial one was actually out on the main page that day and not hiding behind the pic of the day, and boasts…

I wonder if quote of the day will see less action cos it's hiding behind the oversized pic of the day. Just move the quote to the top of the page, over whatever advertisement it is I pay no mind to.
