> [@adam yax](#): > > If there is something that people have a sexual fetish about, the Japanese have probably made movies about it. I swear that if you have an elbow fetish there is a Japanese company with a line of elbow porn. Why look to Japan for the sexy things you [seek?](http://sexyelbows.com/) ---

> [@](#): > > the goggles, they do something (for a change). isnt it amazing that a rapid throw-away joke from one of more than 300 episodes each full of probably thousands of similar lines gets used as if its a regular expression…we do all realize that is Ranier wolfcastle in the simpsons episode where he is filming a movie with “radio active boy” and has tons of acid pouring on him while “Millhouse” is off set and not saving the day…so the goggles he was wearing … do nothing … Im starting to think that the Simpsons should become required reading for any modern anthropology student. 🙂 ---

[The master speaks](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/050610.html) about the joys of [coprophagia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophagia) Not sure what the Japanese word is. ---

> [@cckerberos](#): > > But that would mean the names Takashita and Takeshita were pronounced the same. The Japanese language has no inflection. I forget exactly what the phraseology is for this kind of phonetic speaking, but Japanese words & names are spoken as they are read, without special accents. Konichiwa would never be KoNIchiwa or KoniCHIwa, for example. So exactly the opposite of French. 😃 I was kind of wondering why the bukkake thread was going on so long… ---
