I dunno who had it first.  I can't read the stupid thing very well.  

But, it does appear that Rouge (not Rogue, silly ^_^) is going to be 
Tarou's GF.  They are so screwed up looking in their cursed forms that 
they ought to be made for each other.  Incidentally, she's got a KAWAII 
name, so I dunno why Tarou doesn't go for her.

Yeah, well, I knew that, but I was hoping for more explanation.  How does 
it work?  Pressure points?  Is it just some folklore medicine or some 
"real" stuff, like nicotine patches?

Sure, I know that.  Pretty sorry, nonetheless.  Looks like all the humor 
in the newer Ranma manga is seeing how many times Ranma can get trashed.

Hah!  Funny.

Yeah, well, it wouldn't make sense to smack him anyway.  Geez, he'd 
probably drop her on the bench with the wet paint.

Oh, yeah.  Forgot that one.
