Frankly, I think he was much hotter with that 'stache he had.

Didn’t you used to have a picture of yourself bloodied up pretty good from a fight?
I always thought that was a pretty cool avatar, especially when it was paired with your screen name.[/quote]
Yeah, that was a couple years and about 25 pounds ago. I’m a lot broader (more broad?) now. And much hairier (more hairy?)
Shit I forgot I changed my av to that one. It must go back now lol.

Well, you should get your face bloodied up again now and put that one up.

I’m picturing Cortes kneeling in front of his computer in a tranquil, traditional Japanese home, dressed in his kimono, immobile. He hasn’t moved for days, his wife has tried bringing him food and drink, but PWI has devoured his soul.

I am in my underwear. My one year old son is bugging me to set him on my lap so he can tear up everything on my desk and bang on the keyboard so my posts look like afopuihare ewwa- a[a
I have to get up every 5 minutes because he’s doing something like turning the stove on in the kitchen while saying “no-no, no-no.” (If it’s a no-no then why are you doing it!?!?!?)
There’s tatami but I hate it. It makes the house cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and every piece of dust and hair shows up.
The PWI thing is about right, though.
Thanks for the kind words, RG, good to talk with you again.
Stories were requested, I’ll give one. Didn’t actually happen to me, but my best friend when he and another buddy when they came down for my wedding.
There are these places called “hostess bars” here. The basic idea is that a girl dressed in semi-formal evening wear (like soap opera characters wear to fancy dinner parties) pour you drinks and talk with you. There is no nudity, and ostensibly no touching or anything beyond “companionship.” Very weird, I know, but these things are BIG here among the sararymen.
Well, my buddies didn’t know what they were doing and entered one of these places. They didn’t speak ANY Japanese, and the girls there didn’t speak ANY English. The one girl sits them down and they order Vodka and the way it works here is you finish your drink and the girl just pours more every time you finish, and you pay for every one (or sometimes for the bottle) and she also pours herself a drink and you are paying for this one, too.
Yes, you are buying her drinks. And no, you are not taking her home. There is also a rather significant sitdown charge as well as an hourly rate. Long story short, these places are freaking money pits.
The girl who is serving them and one other lady (perhaps the “Madame,” as there is always one) appear to be the only ones there. Well, “the way it is done in Japan” is a very important thing, and the way it is done in these cases is the girl pretty much matches her client drink for drink. Thing is, I don’t think she counted on my buddies, who are like Charles Bukowski and Malcolm Lowry on a bad day.
About midway through they realize that she is in bad shape, and basically gets so drunk that she can’t get out of her seat. The Madame has disappeared at this point, and the girl isn’t pouring them any more drinks, so they actually go behind the bar and start making their own drinks. At one point, the Madame comes out, glances at the girl who has now completely passed out at their booth, says something to them, and hands them a bill. They take a look at the bill and are more than a little surprised to see that they owe over $500!
So, they pull out their wallets and see what they have, and note that it is less than $100 between them. They leave most of this on the table, keeping enough for cab fare, and semi-nonchalantly walk out the door.
I was busy with wedding planning and working at the time, so I couldn’t go out, and I was a little worried about them going out on their own, as it’s so hard to communicate or know what’s going on here, and the first thing I here from my best friend when he gets back and I ask him how their night was, is, “There were no police that came by looking for us, were there?”
Fun stuff.
Other fun facts, any Western guy, from a dude that looks like Brad Pitt to one that looks like Barney Fife, can get laid by a hot Japanese chick, and most Japanese girls under 40 are hot. Almost no fat chicks here at all (sorry if any of yall are into that). The only drawback is that many of these girls, even really, really beautiful ones, will break into a smile of the most wretched, rotting, snaggled teeth you’ve ever seen.
The karaoke places here (the land of its origin) are nothing like the stupid joints in America. Here, you get your own private room that just you and your friends get to use, and there is a telephone and you can call and get an entire menu’s worth of food and drinks delivered, and it’s pretty cheap overall. Very fun.
The current style for Japanese men is to look like women. Skinny as shit, frilly, girly clothes, skinny jeans, effeminate postures, a hair style that looks like it belongs on a 50 year old woman that they constantly toy with and tease. And ostensibly the girls are supposed to like this.
However, I cannot even count the number of times anymore that I have just been stopped, basically stopped on the street, by a hot girl who just started talking to me and then very boldly starts feeling my muscles and rubbing her hands all over me. Yeah, for all my complaints about this place, big wonder I’m still here after 8 years, I guess.
ID, did your avatar see something it liked?
