The Off Topic Topic

It is a wonderful time for japanphiles abroad- Besides the fabulous success of the english-speaking free released visual novel, russian japanophiles are working on one of their own.

In keeping with the Russian national character, it appears this will be one full of brooding, bad ends, and snow. I look forward to the english translation and it's eventual release.

I fell for the Lettow trap (I figured at worst, it would be good translation practice). 

Not any story really, basically just a solemn, anime reminder that on the anniversary of 9 May, one should respect, honor, and remember victory over the fascists in WW2, and the veterans who fought and died.

I guess one could say it had some brooding.


And I feel tainted.

Hey Mart, there are "Visit Poland" posters on the Tube at the moment. One says, "Visit a city you've never heard of," with a captioned picture of Warsaw  Now, I know Brits have a reputation for geographical ignorance, but that's just ridiculous

Not that strange. To most English speakers Warsaw is a weapon.

A weapon?
War -   Saw ?

I'd maybe never heard of Warsaw when I was 10 or something. I first learned of it via the Warsaw Pact in Civilization 2....

A few years ago we had Romanian ones:

Are you kidding?  I always would check out John McEnroe matches to see if he was going to cuss out the ref.

I saw an interview with Ivan Lendl the other day.  He's coaching Andy Roddick now.  Dude has one of the greatest accents of all time IMO.

I think I may have confused it with Walsall when I was younger...

Warsaw is in Indiana. Not far from Ft. Wayne.
