Heh, just read the first one and it's nice how stereotyped Americans are...

I got stuck a few months ago reading this page until like 3am. It's full great stuff that makes ya laugh. I didn't know it was updated so I'm stuck again.

This is one of the reasons I don't like live journals and similar stuff. Who gives a damn if his GF agreed to give him a BJ?

From the 4th article, I'm wondering if the kids he's teaching are perhaps a bit "special."

Nah, I think he's just making this stuff up as he goes....

You know, you don't have to teach special ed kids or the 'biggu dikku' kids for much laughing (and crying). I teach 8th graders (who are apparently normal but I attest that they are not!) and every day I am completely and utterly shocked by something they do. Whether it is urinating on a teacher's door, throwing feces in the hall or even better, throwing a bag of collected vomit down a stairwell, there is always something (as they say on the 'tardblog' site) to keep my BAC level up after school.

And of course today, one of the boys started taking his pants off again in front of the girls. Yup, teaching rocks the house!

Ahh, yes...

Anyway, his link http://omega.med.yale.edu/~pcy5/japanese/uglytruth2.jpg really reminds me of the Battlehype images of celebrities without makeup (obtained by searching Google Images for 'celebrities without makeup'). Amazing how ugly/ordinary many people appear without the disguise of makeup.

Actually, the girls under the "fiction" column don't even look that pretty... But speaking as a guy who has frequently visited Japan for the past seven years and had lived there for two years, every time I fly back to LAX (that's Los Angeles airport, for you non-Americans) I'm always struck by how fat and ugly we Americans look.

Anyhow, thanks for the interesting link, ST Dragon. I especially liked the "Gaijin Smash" essay. It's so true. You can get away with so much crap in Japan, especially if you pretend you can't understand the language at all. Including the police. Check out Jackass: The Movie. The guy strips and starts dancing around the electronics store, and the stupid security guard can only shuffle around nervously and blow his whistle. Pathetic. Every weekend the police in Himeji where I lived were dumbfounded on how to prevent the bosozoku punks from revving their puny little "reeee reeee reeeeeeeee" motorbike engines so loudly they echo throughout the town. Japanese cops are so pathetic that they don't know how to handle the simple stuff. If only American cops had it so easy. I remember once we parked in front of the train station to let my friend off and some dumb woman rear-ended my wife's car. Since I was the one driving, the dumbass cop asked me all the questions. He asked me more questions than the woman who was at fault, it seems. What my job is, how long I've lived in Japan, etc. I was expecting him to ask me what my favorite color is or my three sizes or something crazy.

Train stations can be so easily abused, too. Pay the lowest priced ticket and take a train between Tokyo and Osaka, pretend you lost the ticket and claim you'd only got on at the previous stop or so. But this has been abused so much that they've been cracking down on that a lot in recent years. The only time I laid a Gaijin Smash on a train station worker is when my wife and I had spent the day in Osaka buying all sorts of neat otaku crap and our discount train tickets wouldn't work. They could only be used until 5pm, and it was like 5:15 or so. So I told my wife to pretend she's not Japanese and let me do the talking. I showed our discount tickets to the station worker and waved my hands around, pointing everywhere. "No taxation without representation! She sells sea shells by the seashore! I got these tickets from a giant penguin in exchange for some ice cream and this dumb ticket doesn't even work. Blah blah blah." He just let me through. I pointed at my wife and said, "Oh yeah, her too." We made it home.

that "celebrities without makeup" gallery is funny. however, to be fair some of those are just really unflattering pictures (*cough* Christina Applegate *cough* *cough*.

While I certainly don't have the patience to deal with someone who is mentally retarded (God forgive me), I find it offensive how they make fun of people on that Tard-blog.com thing. The caretakers get pissed off at the kids for having to handle them certain hours a day. Their parents are stuck with them for life.

Would you find it more humorous to read about all the retarded things my non-retarded students do?

Specineff · Post by **Specineff** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 9:30 pm

That I would find funny. It's just that kids with an impediment are not to blame. They're innocent. Perfectly healthy kids, on the other hand.. I wonder what their excuses are.

Good storys from Japan, I guess.

Today a 'perfectly normal' kid kept threatening a teacher because the teacher intercepted the football he was throwing the hallway. The teacher asked very nicely for the student's name, who kept respeonding 'I'm not playin'', and shaking all over like he was going to punch the teacher. I couldn't keep from laughing at the kid. What was this 13 year old trying to prove? I also know the teacher would have been happy to lay the kid out flat. Just tell him your name and get your goddamn ball back stupid kid.

I honestly think kids in the middle school years shouldn't even go to school. They should go to work or bootcamp and earn their way back into school. It is possibly the most worthless time of anyone's life--and I get to relive it over and over again with my students. Yay!

The Cops in Japan may not be to tough.

But the Swat cops in Taiwan are seriously tough bastids saw their training routines, back flips while breaking concrete blocks! Heard most crimals surrender at the site of them.

Funny stories. My sister is a JET, I gotta ask her if she has any stories. But she teaches the equivalent of US high schoolers(10th, 11th, 12th), in a prominent school, so I wonder if there's much mischief, since the kids are older.

The way the author incorporates video games, comic books, and other cool stuff into his editorials makes them even more entertaining to read.

The coolest looking cop in Japan I saw was at Tokyo station. He was standing on an elevated box thing, and scanning the crowd. He had one of them secret service earpiece, and he looked like he was ready to kick some ass. The cops are all very helpful also, in giving directions, etc. I gave a pack of baseball cards to an officer because he says he liked baseball.

Well, better lenient cops and little violence to harsh cops and lots of violence methinks.

Speaking of stupid people. Today, my brother's friend whose name is David, came to our home and asked to borrow the laptop for a sec to check his email. Those of you who have seen Shawn of the Dead, picture his overweight friend. Got him? Ok. That's David.

F***ing lying idiot visited porn site after porn site.. obviously hitting "Yes" at every damn Active X control he got. Installed 47 different types of spyware, 4 trojans, one Worm, and 14 different viruses. I asked my brother to look for him, beat him up, chop his testicles off (He must NOT be allowed to reproduce, for the sake of the human race.), and ask him to never come to our place again. Greg is witness of the rage I was dealing with at the moment. (Thanks for being such a cool trooper, man.) No combination of spyware and antivirus will restore the computer the way it was, as all that crap corrupted Windows badly. It's wipe and reinstall.

What am I trying to say here? I thought it was genetically, mathematically, and Gosh-darningly impossible for such a type of completely idiotic human being to exist. I guess I was wrong.

(In case you want to know, I was busy doing something important, and since he said he was going to check his E-mail, that's why I couldn't even check what was going on.)

Thats bloody brilliant, I mean the concept not the damage, 14 virus and trojans kicks the odd atwola cookie I get.

Neon · Post by **Neon** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 1:22 pm

That sounds like a very weird fucker, Spec. I mean, you never borrow someone's computer to look at porn...

Seeing as your brother has been problematic for you in the past, maybe you ought to try to keep him away from this guy

Diabollokus · Post by **Diabollokus** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 8:14 pm

Yeah maybe you should Gaijin Smash Him and combo it with a super Gaijin perimeter!

Ganelon · Post by **Ganelon** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 8:24 pm

Too bad Gaijin powers don't work against other gaijins...
