The PM mug I have does a grave injustice to his eyebrows.

First concert I ever went to was KISS at Madison Square Garden. Maybe 1977? A sophomore in high school. Wasn’t a fan but friend had tickets. A lot of fun. RIP Ace Frehley. Hope you’re back in the New York Groove.

Gonna be a challenge identifying the full name of the Shinkansen (eg, Nozomi 281) without knowing time of day this was taken

One of the issues with Takaichi Sanae possibly being the next PM of Japan is that women are not allowed inside the dohyo. Ever. So she would not be allowed to present the championship trophy at certain matches. King Charles III doesn’t have that problem.

My first job out of college was selling wine in NYC for Frederick Wildman & Sons. My business card had as my phone number BU8-8000. BU was the Butterfield exchange on the Upper East Side, and we loved having Butterfield 8 (known from the movie) as part of our number.

I didn't even think to look up. So you're ahead of at least one person

Actually looking back I think my family was more upset at the SNF/Vinny Barbino characters than those from the Godfather. Maybe because the Godfather characters were more recognizable/familiar to them & were understandable. B

True and unfortunate. But Travolta in Sat Night Fever coulda been a contender for that. Anyways apart from Bono he’s the only one from your list that came to mind to this Blkyn born

Always nice to see local service providers getting into the Halloween spirit.

Wolfgang’s in Tokyo, with consumption tax & service charge, in that range with current favorable f/x rate.

Tokugawa regulations in the Edo Period mandated that samurai carry either a long sword & a short sword OR a long sword & a selfie stick.

Bill Buckner exhales tonight. (Even though it was Game 6 & not a series deciding game.

And the NY football Giants beat the Iggles the same night.

Maybe there is justice in this world.

What's perfect is that, in my timeline, this was followed by a post from the Frog and Toad bot.

So Sapporo Brewery takes advantage of the computer hack carried out by the Russians against Asahi to mock Asahi by introducing a beer called “Extra Think”?!

Brilliant (but the beer itself is ma ma).

As does "inappropriate touching". So does, if you are a football official travelling to France who also happens to coach young players, viewing "inappropriate AI created material". These are all crimes that, if proven by the state, should result in a loss of freedom for a significant amount of time

Somewhat curious what the registered sex offender status means domestically. Plus no entering into France. Suspended sentences happen all the time in Japan but there’s usually no other punishment apart from (some) social opprobrium. This had to sting.

The culpability is a bit higher than that of mere idiocy though.

The old (ahem) warhorse, "best defense is a good offense", entering the chat, I see.

I suppose, if you discount the Pacific Ocean, Japan and Oregon might share territorial borders.

Thanks! It has been a while since I’ve seen fruits of the crime displayed with the blue background.

The Secretary of the Treasury feels the same way.
