Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

He's got Southern food available again, so maybe he won't get that hungry.

ah, what a relief! The Japanese maiden who loved the Shinsengumi- I read a book on them, and then cross-referenced with her previous comments. Her favourite shinsengumi is my favourite as well, the tragic consumptive figure Okita Souji. Good, good! It is not that ogre Serizawa..

Yes, this maiden is ideologically sound. I must make all efforts to secure her for the future, insofar as the matter can be arranged.

Edit: actually, I rather love Okita myself..he was worthier of a grander cause on a more tragic scene, although his bloody work in Kyoto quite suffices as sufficient pageantry for his heroics. Ah, life is wonderful!

He would of course position himself in front of me, glower down at me from his substantial height advantage, or simply roughly grab my arm. At the last I began to change my tone- I told him for one that I was an American, and that Americans lose to none, but worse, that he had not reckoned on meeting a Southerner, and that the sons of Lee and Forrest would not be interfered with my some shameless man from Nagoya. I exclusively began referring to myself as ore-sama, and variously warned that the greatest empire in the world would rain fire on the city, that he had best stick to harassing mere Japanese, and that he was a joke of a criminal and made me nostalgic for the niggers of home, and finally extolled him to go back home to his mother.

How extremely nonviolent the Japanese are cannot be impressed enough- for one, he let me take his picture with much hemming and hawwing, but did not do what he should have done, which was beat me, and take all of my stuff, including the camera. Second, he backed down when I began threatening to beat him like a kankokujin dorei, and seemed to quite honestly have initiating confrontational grabbing and interference without the intent or desire for a scrap. What is wrong with him?


I laughed out loud at this. People outside my office asked me what was going on.   :lol:

That's a relief; there is nothing worse in a relationship then shinsengumi incompatibility.

Bag-in-box is a great technology.
Too bad so few good producers ever use it.

Hey - just means more of the good stuff for me.

My only redlines are racists and glorification of the Confederacy.
