    I KNEW you’d come through for us, with the evidence (vice USMC hearsay) that the Japanese do indeed have a…um…male enhancement fixation. Of course, the protests were lodged by Asian-AMERICANS, many of which have never set foot in the country of their fathers, who were the same ones losing their minds over the depiction of Asian-JAPANESE in ‘Lost in Translation’. I’m sorry folks, but they really do act like that. (Ask any first UDP Marine after being gawked at in the subway station head for the first time.)

    Wow, this is indeed a day of coincidences. You mention a Japanese fixation on size? See Joanne Jacobs. Apparently there is even a classroom game called “dodgedick”.

    Oh holy schamoly! (But exactly what John and I’ve been saying for a while now…it’s like a whole different country…)

    I heard about Kancho from people I knew in the JET program. Japanese kids get more freedom than you’d expect, becuase their parents know they are going to stick them in a cultural striaghtjacket once htey turn 20.

    Wouldn’t that hurt when it was your turn to throw the ball?
