Nah.  Anime, computer games, music, food, travelling.  I'll be very busy.  Like I said, if I needed more stuff to occupy myself, watching soccer would take priority.

I would totally visit North Korea if I could.  Tours there are all tightly controlled in where you can go and what you see (and no unauthorized photos!) but it would still be an opportunity to see a completely despotic stalinist country up close and personal.

Have you fucking lost your mind?  Why would anyone want to see that "up close and personal?

Helps you appreciate the freedom that we do have.

I get the "I don't want to give money to a dictatorial state" argument.  If I were to go I'd be somewhat conflicted for that reason.  But I would still go.

Apparently Americans are now banned from going to NK.

Impossible to escape to O.J during my English classes in high school back then, since the teacher made us watch CBS evening news.

I liked the way the media covered crucial stories, like Marcia Clark's hair-do, in great detail back then.

Indeed, the coverage of the Night Trap controversy was a landmark in the US and all of the Western World.
History written on a day to day basis!

That was one fugly do.

You go to trial with the hair style you have, no the hair style you wish you had.

There you go. When I put this second retirement in the bag, I'm going to sit on my porch and get stoned.

[Ed Anger]

I knock up women as my retirement hobby.

[katmai]

I so can't wait for the succession battles to come.

It'll be like Alexander's generals.

A local beach hut here is up for sale at $350,000.

Fuck that - a 2 bedroom townhouse in Santa Cruz can sell for 600,000 bucks.

But you've been doing that since day care.

Well, I know next to nothing about American football.  Saying he was good at American football is the same as saying some dude is really good at, say Judo 

If someone told me that a person was really good at judo, one of the all-time best, and I was living in an area where judo was extremely popular, I'd understand why people there thought he was something special, even though I'm not interested in judo itself.

Mono doesn't really care about other people though so it is hard for him to think about how they might think.

[Eddie Teach]

That seems a bit harsh. I think it's more that he doesn't care about strangers.
