However, if you want to send musk lollies or musk LifeSavers to a "yank", I'm totally down with it and will send requested goodies or surprises back.
(But are musk candies vegan!? I don't want to know.)
"Health problems are the main cause for suicides, accounting for 65% of all cases..."
Are they really claiming that 65% of suicides are people who are diagnosed terminal, or are in pain, or have an ailment bad enough to make them seek THAT way out? That smacks of whitewashing in any country, and especially in a place with as much education, job, career, and society stress as Japan.
"...the Overtoun Bridge ... is where 600 dogs have leaped to their deaths..."
Let me guess: Small, impoverished village? Not fond of canines? Someone gets an idea for a burgeoning tourist trade? "All we have to do is toss a few hundred dogs over the bridge."
Or maybe I'm cynical. Hmph.
LOL, thanks! The history page is fascinating--I'd only heard part of it before--and the cover galleries are great. I had no idea how much talent was involved in Atlas.
I have issue #3 of the Scorpion and of Tiger-Man somewhere in my collection with very fond memories attached. Hopped on my spider-bike (with banana seat), rode up to the local convenience store and bought 'em off a comics spinner rack when I was just a little kid.
How many things in that last sentence don't exist anymore?
:-)
Geez, I've killed this entire meetup by asking for a couch.
Even though jonson vouched for me on MeFi.
It's okay, people, I've booked into a hostel now.
OH HEY, don't, like, NOT come 'cuz you think Shane's going to insist on sleeping on your floor. I have alternate plans. No wuckin' furries.
I just feel like maybe I'm quashing conversation in this thread or something.
It appears to be Allens (or Danforth?) at 8 or 9:00. Dora Keogh next door looks fun to me too.
A. I might need to call someone for directions, as I'm a way-out-of-towner.
B. I don't snore, I'm a "gentleman," and I could maybe use a couch to crash on Saturday night. Hope me if you like. I'll buy you a beer or three.
Looks like it's shaping up to be Saturday. But where?I wanna be Canadeen too.
Me too. I'm just visiting for the weekend! But someday I'll be a Canucklehead.

The looks on their faces as they watch with anticipation is classic & comic... still, I hope some alien race comes to Earth someday, makes us their pets, and does everything to us that we've done to animals.
This is brilliant. For more, see not only the obvious Joseph Campbell works but also a chapter of Myths to Live By called Schiophrenia: The Inward Journey. Thanks, Scary Corn Imp.
