Chushin, in red shirt, wields a kine, the wooden mallet used in the traditional kusotsuki shit-smashing ceremony. Pictured on the right is Mrs. Chushin (in polka-dotted blouse), loading fresh shit into the usu, a mortar carved out of cypress wood. She and her husband must time the shit-loading and shit smashing smoothly and in such a way that Chushin does not smash her hands along with the shit.
Once the kusotsuki is completed, the smashed shit will be enjoyed as kusodango (shit-balls) and yakiguso (toasted shit), which are considered seasonal delicacies during the Ben-Odori (Potty Dance).

Smashing shit is an art in Japan. [/quote]
You are one sick mofo, my friend.
Funny as hell, but sick.
Now 'splain that shit to these people before they wonder WTF goes on in Japan.[/quote]
Oh, after the Sex Sting Entrapment thread, I don’t think people will be surprised at anything that goes on in Japan.
But okay.
Mochi is cooked sticky rice, pounded with a wooden mallet in a wooden mortar until it is the consistency of stiff tar. It is then eaten either fresh as little balls (mochidango) covered in salty-sweet soy sauce or sweet bean paste, as little dumplings filled with sweet bean paste, or (my personal favorite) allowed to harden in a flat tray, cut into squares, toasted over a fire like marshmallows until it puffs up golden brown on the outside and gooey on the inside, then eaten with soy sauce and accompanied with Kirin, Asahi or (preferably) Yebisu beer. One two inch by two inch square is about the equivalent of a bowl of rice, so it’s easy to eat (and drink) way too much. Especially if there is barbecued meat involved.
The Bon festivali is kind of like Japanese Halloween. It’s the day when all the ancestral spirits come back from the Other World, and the people put on a dance (Bon-Odori) to welcome them back.
The Japanese do not, for the most part, consume feces.
No complaints from Mrs. Chushin, so I don’t know…[/quote]
You wife doesn’t complain when you smash her shit? Now there is a patient and understanding woman.

Sometimes a woman just wants her shit smashed.[/quote]
Yes. [/quote]
Hey, you have two legs again. Congrats[/quote]
It’s not legit.[/quote]
Whoa, whoa. Legit IS as legit DOES, buddy. [/quote]
Never understood what the hell that is supposed to mean.
Sexy is as sexy does?
Smart is as smart does?
BPD is as BPD does?
I don’t get it.[/quote]
Conventional estimations of value mean less than real-world performance. A high school dropout who founds a million-dollar business vs. the college graduate who lives in a cardboard box: who is “smart” and who is “stupid”?
That was the refrain of Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does. Gump had an extremely low IQ, but he did more with it than people three times his intelligence.

If that makes sense. [/quote]
So, “It’s actions / results that count?”
And thanks for the explanation.

I think it originated with the “pretty is as pretty does” admonishment for young girls. So, surface impressions are a shallow indicator of value.

We’ve already discussed this. You can be a brilliant exception. [/quote]
Phew. That’s good. I’ve already sunk a bunch of money into the log cabin and the horses and it would be a nightmare backing out now.[/quote]
how many acres are we talkin here?[/quote]
Oh tons. Enough to be able to do a few different trail rides. Also there’s a river running through the property and a vast expanse of rock faces for bouldering and lead climbing. I’ve already got some bolts put in. I can set up anchors too for top roping.
What’s your position on white picket fences?[/quote]
Yep. I got all excited then realized you’re fucking with me once I got to the picket fence part. Damn you.[/quote]
I still have two cabins in the mountains. One next to a ski resort…but just ignore me because I’m 23…I feel the love.[/quote]
You actually seem to have your head on straight. But what 23yo wants to sign up for being a default parent? [/quote]
Oh you have a kid? Well, then…just kidding I love kids. How old is the kid? What do they like to do? Sports?
The real question is are you willing to move every couple of years? Not own your house, not really settle anywhere, live with college students or around college students. And, help me raise my salary. In the last few of my relationships they have ended because I have moved or they are not willing to live the lifestyle of a Catholic missionary.[/quote]
Digging the daughter, not much of a blow job guy. I’m Catholic so I’m pretty conventional…i’m not against them, just they don’t really come into the picture much as they are really just a foreplay thing and not much of an act in and of themselves. I know terrible, but it’s how I roll. I also go raw dog 100% so I guess it’s a give and take thing. But, of course this is all after the ring is on the finger.
The MMA thing is cool, I picked up boxing before I was admitted into the hospital, I stopped with the stomach being sensitive to getting punched but stuck with wrestling for the moment.
I digg the hair cut too, not the usual but I’m not the usual I suppose either. [/quote]
You and I would not be compatible then I suppose. I’m was raised as a Christian (protestant if you like) and I have a hard time fitting my values to an organization that turned out bastard popes sired by pedophilic bishops and prostitutes, who were simply pawns in a powerplay created by Constantine’s brilliant idea to combine religion and government in order to more completely subjugate the masses.
I applaud you for the “waiting for the ring” in regards to sex. I see marriage as it is today as being a construct of Catholocism to perpetrate law and government onto a sacred union. The Bible defines marriage as a holy covenant before God and that marriage simply involved a declaration of intent in the presence of witnesses. The Jews created tradition and their own laws around this which where then incorporated by Constantine’s interpretation of religion. [/quote]
Am I the only one that didn’t know csulli was also Brother Chris? I feel like the last kid to find out there’s no Santa Claus.[/quote]
Why would I be csulli? I barely know who that is except that he recently asked about my major surgeries and he looks a lot bigger than me.
A) Cheated on a boyfriend
B) Slept with a guy in a relationship who was close to becoming a father
C) Slept with her very close friend’s boyfriend - they are still friends and she doesn’t know. Bf is out of the picture.
A I can deal with.
B I know is not her call but there is something so vulnerable about a woman close to child birth that I find it very hard to rationalize anyone being a part of it (and she was aware of the partner)
C is an out and out dog’s act I can’t accept.
None of these impact me other than they could be seen as a red flag on what she might do. Yet any feelings I had towards her were nullified as soon as I found out.
Weird part is this behavior is so far removed from who she presents.
No idea how to break things off without this coming up, especially as we have decided to move in together. I also feel almost obligated to tell the friend about C.
