While you’re there, could you please find out if vending machines sell used panties or not? Umm…I’m not asking you to buy anything, naturally…
It’s a long-standing argument I’ve had with a friend. He says they do, I say it can’t possibly happen! Come on! Used undies in a vending machine…?!!
(…blech…)
They did exist, but IIRC, used panties vending machines were banned due to some conflict with Japan’s sale of autiqueties laws, or something similar. If anyone can correct me on this please do. Of note, the vending machines do sell beer. 
I think that’s correct about the vending machines. However, I was in Ueno on Sunday and found a game center with one those prize-catcher machines in front of the door. The prizes? Panties.
And in addition to beer, there are also vending machines that sell whiskey.
Cerowyn, you bastard. 
What the hell are you drinking?!
and where can I get some?
That was the “One-liter Cocktail” at The Hub in Roppongi. It has shots of just about everything they had in stock. To be honest, it tastes pretty awful.
I saw a vending machine once that sold a few different brands of condoms…
I get that feeling too. I tend to feel them before other people do, I always figured it was cause I grew up ina place where earthquakes are an extreme rarity. But that one yesterday DID feel much longer than 15 seconds, and longer than the usual ones, plus I swore I felt various aftershocks today. I might just be imagining it though because EVERY SINGLE earthquake we’ve had while I’ve been here has happened while I was sitting in the same spot I’m in now. Freaky, huh?
But we gamely drank at least an ounce or two to help you. I think we were anxious to go somewhere else by then.
:eek:
I never knew there were so many of you on here who lived in tokyo…
My geography is bad, so I don’t know how close you are to Osaka, but I absolutely LOVED the aquarium there. It has the worlds only (as far as I know) captive whale shark. What an amazing fish. I recommend it if you can get there.
And yet, I’ve only ever met Sublight (who, I’m sure, regrets it frequently) and scr4. I don’t live in Tokyo, but I’m there a lot.
So, if you’re around in August, watch for a thread here in MPSIMS!
