Should have made it TokyoWaner, so as to avoid the pain medication confusion. I promise we wouldn’t call you TokyoWanker if you did.
And how do I know you aren’t calling me that now? 
Because I didn’t call you TokyoWanker, of course!
You get the Tokyo-wan thing, right (it’s okay if you don’t)?
At this stage nothing further is getting through to anyone.
I’ve said my piece. At this point it’s getting too tedious for even me so I’m sure no one will miss not having to read a several thousand paragraph rebuttal to the latest trash from Dougout Doug’s best friend’s son. DD.
Of course! I laughed. For those who don’t speak Japanese, 湾 wan is bay and ASL made a rather clever pun
It does go along well with LHoD’s accusations observations of a wank-off.
Petition to change the forum tagline to “We just like to argue!”
Ok, that’s fine, drop it.
I wouldn’t be so sure that if MacArthur was alive, he wouldn’t care about protecting his reputation.
Years after he had retired from the navy, Bull Halsey was still zealously trying to influence published history about his role in the Pacific war, and even attempted to enlist former colleagues in an effort to bash the reputation of an eminent WWII historian.
Oh, that was nice of them. Usually you have to go through 8 weeks of boot camp, but they flew him straight into a war zone untested. Your dad must have been really special.
That’s only if you don’t fail your saving roll.
The only way this makes sense is if he was a reservist who somehow managed to not be called up to active duty during the summer of '41.
I always wondered why you never ever talked about pastry.
I hope I won’t offend TokyoBaker by saying that Japanese pastry isn’t very good. Too much mayonnaise and azuki beans for my taste.
I still remember standing outside a boulangerie in Himeji trying to sound out/decipher ポッくデニス (pokkudenisu for the kana-challenged).
We ultimately decided it was “pork danish”. I guess “pig-in-a-blanket” sounded unappetizing. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t good.
When my older sister lived there she said that there coffee places that had great coffee and wonderful pastry. Sit down places not bakeries. But this was in the early '70s, so those place might be gone now?
I always assumed he was baying at the moon, as that’s how much sense his posts normally make.
I had a friend who frequently referred to me as “litigatious.” After I looked that up in the dictionary, I argued, “That’s not true!”
Which, you know…
Slowly I’ve come to accept that he is correct. Or at least, I enjoy watching other people argue. It’s the only explanation for why I’m here. Perhaps this is the value that unites us all?
Meh, I just like to ominously lord over everyone, panoptically.
Talk about apples that don’t fall too far from the tree…
Again, you are wrong and show your lack of reading comprehension.
You mean, you could not volunteer for the army in a war zone? They would not accept you? They would insist you go back to the states and sign up there?
Why do you even care?
“Back in the 80s when I was in college working on my EE degree, my favorite professor was pregnant. She was cautioned by other professors to avoid sleeping with an electric blanket.”
What college did you graduate from? What was the name of the professor? What was the name of her kid? What brand of electric blanket?
Can you prove any of your statement? Do you have a signed and notarized statement from the professor saying that is what happened?
See how fucking silly this is?
You used a off the cuff personal anecdote to illustrate a point. I do not really care if it happened or not. It does not really matter. It was mildly entertaining.
Should I start personally insulting members of your family? Accusing them of crimes? Calling them names? That would be a asshole thing to do, yet you do it and are not ashamed of it.
