Title: The adventure begins now .... Post by: Windmill Boy on January 20, 2003, 05:00:00 AM Well all
I'm headed off to the airport in a few hours to start a trip of fully booked activities in Japan for the next 3 weeks. Looking forward to seeing Bob S for a day or 2 in my journeys. Many girls in many cities ha ha ha. Will do my best to post a competent trip report and take some pictures which I will post sooner or later.

There are lots of nice husband-hunting women here, but finding one that is a good match is still a serious challenge. A bad match with a cute accent is still a bad match. Good to hear from you again!

...if she is saying "Chock-O-late" in that sexy accent while emiting that irritating laugh, it just might be worth keeping a bad one around a bit longer. Well, at least another day or two. LOL Man, I love that word spoken by a filipina! :P SteveG Title: Me too!!!

Hey Steve, I know what you mean about a Filipina accent and the word "Chock-O-late!" :oD I was thinking about certain Latinas...I know "joo know what I mean?" LOL A practice bagpipe chanter or CD pipe tunes will drown it out completely. :o))) Dave H. Title: Really? I always thought they were making fun...

Hey Jeff, "Jew" could be right! LOL How "beeg" "ees" "eet?" But, "jour" "eso" tall, how could they "esee" "eet?" Were you "eseating" "een" a "shair?" Did they make fun of "jour" "beeg" "eshoes" too? ;o))) Dave H. Title: Re: I dunno... Post by: Jay on January 24, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to I dunno..., posted by Dave H on Jan 23, 2003

Hi Windmill Boy, The BIG day is finally hear. Have a fantastic time! I can't wait to read your trip report. Take lots of picturs for Stephen...and the rest of us. ;o) "Tanoshiminasai"...as Jeff said (whatever that means). LOL Dave H.

When you get back can you give us some Sushi making tips? My attempts have been edible but not very pretty.

Um, you do know that Eric is allergic to fish? No sushi for him. So Friday night I'll be taking him out to a local Yakitori place with about a dozen of my students. Should be interesting (and fun!).

Bob S. I make redneck sushi. Nori, sweet stickey rice, grated carrot, avocodo, fake crabmeat, or perhaps some spam, plus wasabi-mayo mixture. Take care, Surigao Ken Title: Holy Mackerel!

Spam sushi? That sounds gross! I'm with you Ken. I don't eat bait either! (ROFL) Ray Title: Re: Re: Sushi Tips Post by: Jeff S on January 21, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Sushi Tips, posted by Bob S on Jan 21, 2003
Nothing like a yakitori bar with free flowing beer, especially during the sumo tournament. Been following it? We've been watching every night. Anyway, I'm sure Eric will have a blast. - Jeff Title: Sumo Post by: Dave H on January 23, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Re: Sushi Tips, posted by Jeff S on Jan 21, 2003
Here's a nice Who's Who in Sumo webpage: www.sumo.or.jp/eng/meikan/menu.html A direct link to Takanohana: www.sumo.or.jp/eng/meikan/rikishidata/rikishi.php?A=1 Too much football in the US and not enough sumo on TV for my tastes. Time to put on my purple mawashi and practice. ;o))) Dave H. Title: I thought I recognized you....

.. the other night. If it weren't for the slanty eyes and topknot, he'd have been a dead ringer for Uncle Fester in a purple g-string. In fact I almost yelled - "Hey it's Dave with his eyes taped back!" Got a secret sideline you're not telling us about? Nihon-shu mo ippon kudasai... - Jeff Title: It was me...

Hey Jeff, Kookoo-no toki-wa tenisu-o shimasita. Then I discovered sumo in 1972 when Takamiyama (Jesse Kuhaulua) won the Emperor's Cup. Dave H. Title: Anato-no Nihongo wa jozu desu ne!

[This message has been edited by Dave H] Hi Jeff, You can imagine my disappointment when I discovered that my school didn't offer sumo as a varsity sport. Through hard work, dedication, diet, training, and reading, I have become a sumo in my mind...and body. LOL Dave "Yokozuna" H.

Naw, just the sports news on late night TV. Takanohana is retiring, so I guess it was a good thing to see him live when I did back in the summer. Ne? Eric left a message on my voice mail tonight. I'll meet him at Kawagoe Eki tomorrow at 11:00 or so, drop off his bags at my place, then send him on a solo walking tour of the city while I head off to work. Then he'll come by the school in the evening where I'll expose my class to the English of ANOTHER FOREIGNER! (oh my). And after that, maybe a dozen of us will go to a local smoke-filled yakitori place. Let's see how he handles being the center of attention! ;-) Title: Re: su-MO Post by: Jeff S on January 23, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to su-MO, posted by Bob S on Jan 23, 2003
After those three-in-a-row defeats from lightweights, Takanohana almost had to retire. Now, it's come out that he had to be heavily persuaded to compete since he was pretty badly injured. He sure was ganjo - hated to see him go. What do you think of the Mongolians? They're mighty impressive. Yeah, Eric is definately in for a new experience, "honto takai desu NE!" Be sure to let us know how it went. - Jeff Title: Tanoshiminasai ....

Have fun WB, You must be very excited! Sounds like a well planned trip. I look forward to your trip report - a new experience in Japan will be great for the board. It's sure to have interesting culinary delights mixed in with the romantic delights.... uh, I didn't mean that the way it sounded :-0 Jim Title: Re: The adventure begins now ....
