  The charity angle is a great idea. But, I imagine people would pay more for her to stop singing.

  I went to Kyoto once, but did not see the protocol. It was not marked on any of the tourist maps.

  And the lesson is...when all else fails, be obfuscate.

  I've never understood why we call them a "rink" coz they're shaped more like an ovalk.

  Who ever heard of a green car nation? A pink car nation, or a white car nation, sure. But green must be an hybrid.

  Is anything "excessive" if it saves a little life?

  I am so tired of reading reports just like this one in JT. Ok, I don't live in a 13th floor apartment, and I don't have a 3 yo child. But surely a couple of metres of chicken wire (that's what we call it in OZ) would be cheap solution for preventing these tragedies.

  Asahi Super Dry is my favourite too. I love that you can get it in vending machines.

  Blindfolds could have made it really interesting.

  They'll probably wear disguises and sneak in. Yaks are very sneaky.

  The boar got away. Really? There can only be one conclusion...it was a cabbage loving midget dressed as a boar, who quickly changed costumes, thus escaping detection. I should apply for a job with the Japanese police.

  I'm thinking he'll be living in another type of residential care facility for the rest of his life.
