“Cursed idol of Colonel Sanders” sounds like something they would have had in one of the Monkey Island games. ---

I live 5 mins walk from that place. Whenever Hanshin Tigers win the finals the crowd goes crazy down there, getting naked and jumping in the canal. But there’s NO WAY IN HELL I’d ever jump in that water. I’m not even sure if you can (legally/scientifically) call it ‘water’. Go tigers! ---

Incidentally, that place is where they filmed a few scenes from the movie Black Rain, and is also said to be part of the insipration for the Japanese district in Blade Runner. ---

> [@Terrifel](#): > > Follow the adventures of five magical schoolgirls as they battle to save Osaka against the curse of the evil Kaneru Sandasu, in the exciting new anime series _Sensual Duel: Touch My Chickens!_ That’s the title of the U.S. dub. The actual name of the series is “Tori Tori Panic! 11 Herbs and Spices.” And one of the girls has to be wearing glasses, and another shows her panties every other shot,don’t forget. Otherwise it will completely fail to catch on among its target market of adult men who still live in their parents’ basement, both here and in Japan. ---

[QUOTE=Yahoo News] A statue of the KFC mascot has been found in a river in Osaka, a city official said Wednesday, nearly a quarter century after being tossed in by crazed baseball fans who felt the image of restaurant founder Harland Sanders resembled a key team member. [/QUOTE] When my girlfriend first saw a KFC restaurant, she asked me if Colonel Sanders had been one of our presidents. I couldn’t even begin to explain how funny that notion was.
