So that I don't gunk-up the Today thread with my pics, I'll post some here. Please comment on some of the madness. I'd like other people's opinions on them. Let's start this off with a bang. Don't make Jessie mad. Ever. Almost got this for Sharps. The minions of the Rocketman are legion. What else does one do with a hair dryer? Not as good as scrambled eggs.

I really like how the Panzer Girls are accompanied by something that looks like a cross between Haro and an Anglerfish, kind of like the Homer Simpson "MR. SPARKLE!" fish-bulb.

It isn't another purpose but the other purpose. You know what you did.

As long as directive 1 doesn't interfere with directive 2 it should be fine just disregarding directive 1 completely.
No bookshops? There might be a secret panel/ lever hidden among the battle robots that opens a doorway into the actual bookshop. Or maybe everyone is e-reader crazy these days and printed materials rarer/ harder to find unless you know where to really look.
They're in the battle robots

I'm sure everyone needs one of these. Getting closer to the life-sized one. Close to the one Mel likes. One for Reds. I know a lot of you would fall over yourselves to get to this pyramid of pilsner. (I know, but it started with a P.)

If I'm right here and 19600 Yen is £114.50 then that is one expensive limited edition model.
I'm glad you're enjoying your holiday, Req. Seen anything else interesting?

Clearly, that's sort of clone of you, or a decoy. If it was really you, you'd be wearing camouflage pants or shorts.

Words can't begin to describe the staircases in that castle. I think they couldn't decide between using stairs or extension ladders, so combined both concepts to devastating effect.

You humans are like ants to me. Ants, I tell you! HAHAHAHA... I traveled around 7000 miles just to try wasabi ice cream. It was good. You can't quite tell, but these are DANGER-sized koi. They probably feed intruders to them for laughs.

All I'll get of Mt. Fuji at this time of year is a passing glance from the train. The SKy Tree is the tallest tower in the world. It's so tall, it looks like it's leaning over you. It's 100% impossible to appreciate what Kinkakuji looks like from a still photo. It's something like $3 t see it, so I recommend you all do that. Ueno Park was gearing-up for the hanami while I was there. Spend all day getting drunk and wait for flowers to bloom? Sounds like high civilization to me... The IGMB should do a fundraiser to get us on one of the gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine. If we get around $13,000 USD, we'll be on the big ones.

I like the idea of doing a fundraiser to get us a gate! Rolling Thunder, RedsandRoyals, Woz can we do this? Perhaps set up a gofundme for members to donate to? Or would GW legal give us a big frowny face?

okay, challenge for you, Req! Re-enact all scenes from this music video clip with bystanders, and to musical accompaniment of the "Love Drifts Away" track from the original Macross soundtrack, have someone record it, and post the video:
GO! Ganbatte!!!

Went to Nikka Distillery today. Free whisky samples were part of the free tour. I recommend it. Sometimes a rainy day has perks. Come taste the unit! This is a fancy species of oyster. It was at least 5 or 6 cm long. Virtually no vandalism compared to the US, and this is one of the few things I find. If there's any one thing guaranteed to have your brain collapse from the Engrish, it's the names they gave hair salons. This is typical, and a lot of them use the phrase, "Hair Make," which sounds like they're giving themselves aspirations beyond their abilities. Dem robots are takin' our jerbs! Need to break your money into handy 100 yen coins? Look no further than the GLORY money changer. Money shot, every time. This crab was the size of my torso. No lie, it kinda scared me a little. Speaking of things at might scare you a little, how'd you like to be taking a night walk and stumble upon this life-sized abomination? Pictures completely fail to convey the glittering life Hakodate has a night from the mountaintop. Japan's first and only star fort. So I've been around 350m up, and 260m down. I really wanted these books, but they were way too expensive.

You can buy those books back here in the States. Victory Comics has them, I know.
