Wait a minute. He doesn't have the common decency to buy a well made, 
durable JAPANESE television set? Who made it? The East Germans? What does he 
drive? A Trabant, perhaps? I mean, this is a guy who won't eat in an Anna 
Millers in Hawaii because it's in an American state, but he will eat in an 
Anna Millers in Tokyo because it's in Japan. So he won't buy Japanese when 
given the choice.

That's it, Darcy. Give up all your anime stuff! Give Sam your tapes. I'll 
take all of your doujins.

By the way, I should point out that Trabis are in great demand in West 
Germany. Sort of a quaint relic of the Old Regime, especially when some 
motorhead puts a new engine inside.

By the way, I didn't know Darcy did garage kit! I do, too. Right now I'm 
working on a vinyl Urd kit. I've got a Belldandy in Dress Blues in storage 
that I'll start on when I get Urd done. After that, I'll have to get either 
an Iria, a Faye Valentine, or, that holy of holies (if it can be 
found,...someone help me here) a Lady Eboshi in her combat outfit with the 
breech loading "gun" (you know, the one she wears while her "thin red line" 
rips apart a battalion of Samurai).

Someday I'll have to break down and get a Skuld kit.

HOW could any sane man turn down an offer to work in Rising Sun land?
Well, I know that it drives the Japanese absolute nutters, what with the 
eighteen hour days and all that. But for your average gaijin otaku, it must 
be heaven.

I say again, Newcomer is nuts! But then again, I always said he's nuts. Any 
guy who posts in "alt.nuke.the.usa" has to be slightly off his rocker.

Still and all, he's such a loyal Urodo follower that I just can't hold 
anything against the guy. We Urd guys have to stick together, you know. 
Because after all, Urd's the best. Always has been. Always will be.
