Sarge... I complete that "simple task" anytime anywhere they let me near the grill ! I find it simply astonishing that of all the experts on America out there, not one of them has the ability to put together a really authentic American style burger ! We're not talkin' fast…

What do you wanna bet she figured if she just padded her outfit with Canadian flag patches, she'd get through customs with just a wink and a smile ! Guess she forgot about the x-ray machines ! Hmm, maybe they don't have those in Medicine Hat !!!

I don't get it. The US could supply Japan with all the butter it could possibly use. Yet the store shelves have run dry ! Why should the common folk have to suffer for the governments inability to work in cooperation with the USA ??? This is another perfect example…

Hmm, not sure I see the "lesson" here. It sounds to me like if you spend the offseason sittin' on yer duff drinkin' cold ones, then go out on the field and perform at subpar levels, then tell the fans and media that thats what you did... well ? I…

Noborito... here in lies the problem.

"While you can cook at home for around the same"

Huh ??? Can you really put together a bowl of gyudon, a large salad, and a bowl of miso soup for less than 500 yen ?

"Isn't the real reason is that Japan wants cheaper U.S. beef?"

Price is determined in the marketplace, where American beef has been traditionally, and substantually lower. Subsequently, there is no reason for government officials to interfere, the customer will eventually determine the price.

BTW Romeo... the closest McDonalds to Shinjuku station is many blocks away and there are dozens of restaurants within a closer proximity. Care to wager on which restaurant brings in the highest amount of sales per month ?

Umm, Romeo... you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink ! Just because you put something near a train station doesn't mean folks will pile in and fork over their hard earned cash. Japan is just full of bankrupt stories from people who didn't understand…

Northlondon, I must say, I agree with both of your points on this issue. I too disagree with Bobby's views on MLB players for the Oly's. Individual talent does not always make for a great team effort. The US has been taught this lesson time and time again at the…
