additional note: hide my ass.com? LOL! The Hide my Ass! button is especially funny. ( View formatted comment » )

Im not a fan or eroge, and really I don't like seeing it too much, but I would say for the website and for pleasing the hundreds of thousands of other friends, the amount is just right ^^. I have no problem with it being on the site- I usually just skip over it and potential other stuff that is NSFW. I'm not offended by my friends liking material that I don't. I would agree that Gunpla is lacking lately- but everything else is really making up for it. I have also been on hiatus from gunpla, in part largely due to a lack of ava...

on second thought.... mmmmmm... my brain is beginning to tinker here... being the engineer I am.... 1) One pair to wear 2) One pair to keep mint in package 3) One pair to rip apart for the electronics!!! ( View formatted comment » )

your kidding me, right? That it the next thing, and my #1 thing I will be importing when I get the chance to import stuff again. BRILLIANT. ( View formatted comment » )

If I walked in on this scene, I would quietly run! ( View formatted comment » )

I would LOVE to ride on one of those sleeper trains- I don't take metro/rail enough! I took a train maybe once in my lifetime. Berlin looks beautiful- especially the last picture of the mountains. It really depends on where you go in my are if you want to see graffiti. It is in Bethlehem, Allentown, Wilson, and I believe Easton. There is plenty around the Reading area where I go to college, but we are in a somewhat nice area. I believe graffiti is both vandalism and art. It is vandalism when historical landmarks are desecrated, b... ( View formatted comment » )

A very interesting read and a touching story, Danny. I am no different than some of the statistics- I intend to marry, but I want to find the right person. We have a similar problem in the USA-in that 1 out of every 2 marriages will end up in a divorce. Saving myself the heartache, I did not play the dating game in high school and I won't play it in College. I put the cause of blame on the curse of the engineer ( I am an engineer), but I also put the blame on myself because I am not going out of my way in search of love- mainly beca...

Being an engineer, lead is not only heavy but extremely toxic if ingested, especially in blocks ^^ (privately casting ingots of lead is bad enough...) I think I will visit Harajuku sometime, it looks like an interesting place. ( View formatted comment » )

I forgot to answer the question! They dress up Colonel Sanders in classic style around here. LOL @ the maid dress, I didn't notice that! ( View formatted comment » )

A lot of folk just have the darndest luck with things, and my thing with luck is I have been fortunate to receive good food service throughout my years. I won't eat KFC anymore due to their treatment of chickens, and it is the same with the fast food industry as a whole. I ain't a veggy- God I love meat. But the sloppy way of work kind of irritates me, and the food is LOADED with preservatives so I avoid it at all costs. I will eat Subway ^^. It is delicious. ( View formatted comment » )

Yes I will get jet lag, and I have to overcome that on my trip to Japan. Whatever you are eating with the french fries earlier in the post (not the frank!) looks really good. Enjoy Germany! It's a lot like Pennsylvania, but it's the real thing :). ( View formatted comment » )

I never really knew the fear of public speaking since I was "thrown into it" when I was very young. Ironically, I just finished a public speaking course here at the campus. The best advice I can offer you is to not sweat it, but that is easier said than done eh? ^^. Here is how I go about it. Organize your speech and know the material. That is the golden rule. If you organize it and fret about it too much then it will trip you up when you go to speak. If you know your material, which I think you do (you worked on the progr... ( View formatted comment » )

That's very interesting that the male portion of the Japanese population doesn't use deoderant. Personally I use Old Spice because it is the only stuff that really works. I have tried Axe, but it only covers up a guy's smell and second, I have never had it work where it protects against sweat. Old spice works, smells great, and I have been told by many folk of the female portion of the population in the USA that axe makes them gag. ( View formatted comment » )

I will totally RAID that store and buy so much Gunpla when I visit Japan it ain't even funny! Typically with the models I build, I will scratchbuild a new part if something breaks. Say I snap a antannae, I will first proclaim my dissatisfaction by yelling an explitive, then I may use brass rod to replace it. For more complicated parts, I am: a) screwed b) try to scatchbuild c) deal with it d) order new parts Tamiya and Revell are good about getting me what I need. ( View formatted comment » )

Nope, no Otaku stores anywhere in the area, and I have never been in one. I would probably spend some money on Gunpla and building supplies. The closest thing you get to an otaku store is the anime section of your local Suncoast movie store. My hobby store stocks a minimum amount of imports, around 2 or 3 models that are at outrageous prices. ( View formatted comment » )

WAY over-engineered. I love it! ( View formatted comment » )

We all dislike something, and unfortunatly some people don't know how to behave like normal people or when to be quiet. Since anime is part of the culture of Japan, I would say that people who are discrimnatory towards anime are being racist. I'm not saying people who dislike anime "are racist". Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and really they should keep it to themselves. I don't like Green Army Men or Barbies, and I have reserved opinions on the subjects, but you don't see me going around and blabbing us... ( View formatted comment » )

Ho..... if I did that not only is it shameful and completely destroys my honor, I would get fined heavy and thrown in the clinker for some hard time for spitting on a police officer. Honor driven and bound, I am thankful for everything the police and armed forces do for our country. The boys in blue here are the toughest and they don't take chances. They don't "ask" for anything when arresting- if you run you will be down on the ground and very uncomfortable. They are cracking down in Pennsylvania on street racing a...

Money and Looks do not matter to me-it's all about finding someone I love. I plan on making good money anywhoo, but I won't let them know that until they know me well =). ( View formatted comment » )

Its a bit on the expensive side but I will keep a look out for it- this interests me. ( View formatted comment » )

I like the room, but it makes me want to "organize" it. ( View formatted comment » )

OR change the legislation/ register as a collector! ( View formatted comment » )

I disagree with the ban. People will find ways to obtain illegal weaponry, but I am sure this would probably stop some of the samurai weaponry related killings. This would make me want to move out of that country if I were to live there- similar if the US did the same thing. ( View formatted comment » )

Only in Los Angeles XD ( View formatted comment » )
