Neil's showing his true otaku colors in this thread.

I like it that the Engrish guy is Tom Cruise'n against a real Chinese guy.

Awesome.

So is this big gold statue of Mao the Chinese version of tit for tat? You guys honor war criminals, so we honor genociders?  :lol:

So they have something in common.

The last bunch of Chinese government officials trying to make a big deal out of honouring Mao are all languishing in prison or house arrest.

So has Tyr gone native or is this just his normal dopey self?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He still sounds more British than Japanese to me.

Lettow is the one going native.

I thought he lives in Japan these days, teaching and such.

Yeah, all that is true.  It just rankled me for you to call him 'dopey'.

I just don't think it's appropriate for you to criticize people's politics, even though Jos is usually fairly dopey.

In the future I'll just email my comments to Grumbler and have him relay it to Tyr.  I often do that.  If Grumbler is saying something stupid, you can bet he's doing it on my behalf.  Come to think of it, we've been doing that a lot lately.  Maybe I should stop that, people might start to think that there is something wrong Grumbles.  :hmm:

I think the head wound he got serving on the Monitor might have something to do with it.

There's no fucking way that the number on this jet is a coincidence. How can you defend this scumbag Tyr? I understand he's managed the economy better than any Japanese PM in 20 years, but he's revisionist of the worst sort.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
