(welcome back)

Well, since I doubt everyone on the list thinks you can go a day without a 
"wazzup, gravy?", it's umm... 'all good'.


>3. Drinking a beverage called "Pocari Sweat".

>4. Did I mention the Pocari Sweat???
Hey... I remember Dave Barry talking about this stuff in one of his 
books.  What is a Pocari?  And how do you get them to sweat?  And who in 
their right mind would drink sweat of any kind?

 From what Colin says, it's even worse when you go to the Kabuki-cho (was 
that the right place?)

I tell you- if I ever went to Japan, I'd be in big trouble if my guide/host 
was someone who visited places like that...

Host:  "Now, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I spend a lot of time in topless 
bars, and was wondering if..."

Bradster, with shoes and coat already on: "I've got about $1000 U.S. with 
some cute kogal's name on it.  Let's roll."

I've never doubted it's pretty much dead there.  They've got new anime 
coming out all the time, and their TV viewing public is as fickle as ours 
is.  I just don't think it matters over here unless it affects our 
merchandise/fan opportunities.

I've also had the pleasure recently.  Found a place online that sold me a 
256MB chip for about $85 (including express delivery), so now I've got 
about 300, myself.  Don't notice much difference going from 128 to 300+ as 
you do with a major processor upgrade.
