Those silly Japanese

I will start off with the USA famous FARGO woman:

You remember the movie fargo right?

Some poor girl flew to Fargo , North Dakota from Japan to "find" the money the guy buried.

I shit you not, the fucking movie says "true story" and whatnot, but
it's just part of the movie. She did not understand this.

So this poor girl shows up, not a lick of english known to her.

She goes out to find the money and freezes to death, they didn't find her until the spring.

It also reflects poorly on the US police, because they were phoning up chinese food stores trying to find someone who understood her.

That lamb story was very, very funny. Sheep are even on the bloody Chinese [and Japanese] zodiac, but they can't tell them apart from dogs!

About 15 years ago, a Japanese couple named their child "devil".
Caused a lot of trouble.

Well here the kid is grown up, and guess what, his life was hell.
Eventually abandoned by both parents.

-------------------------------------
from waiwai

It's all worked out to plan in a way because, from the moment he was born and perhaps even earlier, the poor little boy was destined to have a devilish life -- literally, according to Shukan Shincho (8/17-24).
The boy is Akuma, the Japanese word for "devil" and the name given to a child who caused a great fuss throughout Japan in the mid-'90s, embroiling even the Justice Minister into the fierce arguments that broke out over whether he could be named after the embodiment of evil.
Akuma, as we'll call the boy, is now a strapping young lad of 13 in his first year of junior high school, but he has sure had a devil of a time since he made headlines not long after his birth.
Back in July 1993, Akuma's father, then a 30-year-old hostess club operator in the Tokyo suburb of Akigawa, and his mother, a 22-year-old woman, made pen pushers across the country petrified when they registered his birth using the name "Akuma."
Akigawa City Hall officials initially accepted the application, but the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau rejected the name. Akuma's dad filed a complaint against the bureau's decision and the spat went nationwide.
"Until Akuma's official name could be decided, he officially didn't exist for months. The only alternatives the father would accept used different characters, but still referred to his boy as Akuma," a reporter who covered the case tells Shukan Shincho. "The father was saying he planned to call his next children 'Teio (Emperor)' and 'Bakudan (Explosion).' "
Akuma eventually got a formal name and the topic that everybody had been talking about died down. But that was when demons really started affecting the boy named after the Devil."He's irresponsible father couldn't keep his business afloat and went broke in 1994. Two years later, his parents divorced," the hack says. "Not long after that, the father was convicted of drug charges and sent to prison."
A relative of Akuma's picks up the story.
"After the divorce, the father was awarded custody of the boy, but the boy was left alone when his dad was sentenced to serve time. At about the time he was about due to go to kindergarten, he was put into a Boy's Home," the family member tells Shukan Shincho. "He was on the soccer team all through elementary and junior high school. He's only small, but he's good enough to be captain. He wants to become a professional soccer player. He spends his summer holidays with relatives and always goes back to the Boy's Home with a really good tan."
Akuma's dad has done his time, but has asked that his son remain in the Home because he doesn't have the money to look after him. His mother also remains off the scene.
"No kidding, huh? He's in the Boy's Home? I had no idea," she tells Shukan Shincho. "I looked after him for a while when my ex-husband was arrested. But all sorts of stuff went on and I had to give him up to the Home. I thought my ex-husband's family was still looking after him. I don't know what happened after that. I'm always praying that the boy is happy. My ex-husband told me that when he turns 16, he would let me meet him if he wanted to see me. Even if it's only once, I'd like to see what he looks like all grown up."

[GaijinPunch]

Lol... I always wondered what happened to that kid. I thought his official name was something else, as the government told them they couldn't name their kid devil.

[ASSEMbler]

I don't know if they changed his name, but I bet he has.

That in itself is another unlucky thing to do.

[ccovell]

Folks, welcome to the wild and wacky world of hostess bar owners, bar hostesses, and the f***ed-up children they beget.


The above group is rife with stories like these. (There was even a movie inspired by one story, "Nobody Knows".)

[GaijinPunch]

That in itself is another unlucky thing to do.

It's a chore in any country. In Japan it is like pulling teeth.

There's a book devoted to "wacky Japanese shit". Weirdest one I heard was a mother who allegedly blew her son as a reward for him succesfully finishing juken study blocks. The idea was to keep him from stroking his cock all the time, and thus taking his mind off of studies.

[Yakumo]

Hahahaha, that's sick !

Yakumo

[GaijinPunch]

Hahahaha, that's sick !

Yakumo

Yeah, it is. My mom stopped blowing me when I was in junior high.

[ServiceGames]

Damn! why would you even let your mom suggest such a thing?
I'd chop my own penis off before I'd let my mom have it anywhere near her.

[Yakumo]

hey, after seeing some of the Jr. High school kids mums I wouldn't stop them :lol: Some are well fit !

One of my bosses in Hawaii has two kids... like 2 & 4. He said the 4 year old's preschool is a dog show, but the 2 year olds is nothing but hotties.

EDIT: He was referring to the moms. Man, that sounded kind of sick when I re-read it.

Yup it is :lol::lol::lol:

WTF
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Are you sure, it IS the right board to tell about your incest experiences ?
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: *pukes* and laughs again.

You can´t be serious :lol: (I hope you are just joking with us, since your mom blowing you aka. oral sex on you, untill you were in junior high ?)

Yup, it sounded like you said on of your bosses was a pedophile/paedophile.

In Tokyo, Stand on the left of the escalator and walk on the right. In Osaka / Kyoto, Stand on the right of the escalator and walk on the left. Arrrgh!

[GaijinPunch]

The Tokyo-ites are right. Shouldn't you be passing on the inside lanes?

[cez]

In Tokyo, Stand on the left of the escalator and walk on the right. In Osaka / Kyoto, Stand on the right of the escalator and walk on the
left. Arrrgh!

Yes, but even though it should be Kansai-style here in Hiroshima more people stand on the left than on the right. I guess the Japanese themselves are confused.

[GaijinPunch]

New type of Japanese massage (http://www.uselessjunk.com/article_full.php?id=22279): Probably not too safe for work, although it's far from porn.

No question about it... I win the thread.

[Yakumo]

GaijinPunch, that video is nasty ! And why in hell do those guys volunteer for such punishment? Their bits must be ruined after that !

I have one for you.

Why on earth do Japanese insist on crowding around the entrance of the train until being packed like sardines when the aisle is complete empty plus seats are vacant?

Exercising their pervert habits [Chikan] ?:dance:

Depending on which way the train is going, I normally go to the back or front of the train (the opposite of where the smokers are) and normally there are seats. Although I did get up to let some old person take my seat but he refused (not the first time either....) and literally pushed me back into my seat... I got out my PDA and played mahjong for the rest of my journey....

[ccovell]

A likely answer: because standing up lets you look out the windows (or up at the ceiling, at advertisements) a lot easier. Sitting down, there's little you can do to avoid eye contact with the person opposite you. For Japanese people, eye contact is more uncomfortable than the aforementioned "Japanese massage".

[Jamtex]

You've not been on Japanese trains much have you? A Japanese person sitting down one of the following will happen.

Will get out mobile phone and start doing things
Fall asleep
Read newspaper / magazine
Get out Nintendo DS or PSP
Listen to MP3 player

:lol:

[ASSEMbler]

I prefer to do a Tom Green and lie down at the top :thumbsup:

Will get out mobile phone and start doing things:lol: How true. I was on the train the other day (well everyday now since the pigs stopped me from driving) and everyone in the row was sitting there with their mobile phone out :lol: I wanted to take a photo but with the deadly silence everyone would have heard the shutter noise :-( Bloody funny sight mind you.

Myself? Find a nice corner seat then drift of in to the land of nod whilst listening to some tunes.

As this isn't worth a topic of it's own, in many anime and manga featuring girls who go to school, there is normally a girl who oversleeps and runs to school eating a piece of toast whilst leaving the house, has anyone ever seen a schoolgirl

1) Running down the road
2) Eating a piece of toast outside of a cafe
3) Putting on jacket in the road

?

In Tokyo, Stand on the left of the escalator and walk on the right. In Osaka / Kyoto, Stand on the right of the escalator and walk on the left. Arrrgh!

There is a logical reason for that though. Toyko being of Samurai heritage and Osaka being Merchant based, Samurai traditionally went by in a way that they could draw their sword. Merchants prtoect their wallets.

It makes sense until you start to think about the lack of escaltors back then :lol:

Anyone of you lot in Japan wanna take the challenge? I've had the FF Potion and Diet Water but not liking Coffee would not go near that... also, whose Mother's Milk is it?

I had simlar experiences, at least 5 times I offered my seat to older people and got a polite refusal. A number of time I gave my seat to a young mother with pram and kids, they were 50/50 in accepting.

I was hoping your reason for going to the front would be to watch the guard/driver..... maybe I am too keen on Densha De Go?

Yeah, I guess that putting cartridges in water does repair them. Thanks!@
