Keep your distance Oz or you might turn Japanese.

A spectacularly catchy tune.  I say it's impossible to not turn it up whenever it comes on the radio.  I also say that anyone who disagrees with that view is a cold-hearted, dog-kicking, baby-killing mad man.

EDIT: Middle ground was invented by people too small to spread out their legs a little and stand firmly on outer ground.

EDIT II: It's Inflammatory Friday, right?

Your post was made when it was still Thursday in Minnesota.

HA!

Italian man, 70, hires escort and finds it was son's girlfriend

When they met, he could not believe his eyes when he realised the escort was his future daughter-in-law...

All I can say is wow!

That there is the first boy I have ever known/heard of with enough character to even consider dating one of my girls. (Were the ages right.  His loss.)

His mom has done a heck of a job raising him, though.  Impressive kid.

"Somewhere in Norway there is a metalhead in corpse paint standing in a forest crying tears of blood."

No truer words have ever been spoken.

4:03 of my life I will never get back......

Japan... a fascinating country.

I feel like watching Japan is like watching a social science experiment from the safety of an observation platform.

What's not to like (except maybe the music)?

Heh.  Japanese immigration is very strict - no one turns Japanese without tons of paperwork.  No sign of that here.

Hey, tmerton.  Good to see you.

All, an update on the Geelong player, Burbury, who broke his jaw in the first pre-season match.  I didn't realize it a couple weeks ago, but he tweeted the xray of his jaw the next day.  It's in interesting xray because it's one of the color 3D jobs.  I haven't seen those before (my kid's last broken arm was still the fuzzy grey one of my youth).

But I'll just post the link here because it's hard to look at.  Forewarned is forewarned.

[D3MAFAN]

I had a broken jaw once, I loss 30 pounds in two months. Only if I could do that now.

Horrific story about a future Johnnie. Dawson-Boyd running back Michael Anyasike died after running from a rural party that was busted. Cause of death has not been released, although I heard exposure was a possibility.

Anyone who grew up in a small town has been to those parties and they get busted all of the time and kids run from them all the time. But this doesn't happen. If anything I could see this happening 20 or 30 years ago. But in the cell phone era, hard to believe.

This just leaves me with a pit in my stomach. I can't imagine how much pain his parents and brother and sister must be in.  Praying for his family and friends. I'm going to tell both my boys I love them and that I'm thankful for them today. Take nothing for granted!

I can't help but think how ridiculous it is that an 18 year old should have to worry about the police just because he was drinking beer.

Read about this too...his highlights are available on Hudl.  Terribly tragic and senseless.  Been a tough week considering the accidents in Northfield and Sleepy Eye and now this. Hug your kids tonight.

Yes, a shame.

This line is interesting:

What led to Anyasike's death has not been disclosed. The county coroner, Dr. Ralph Gerbig, said, "We're continuing to investigate [his] situation."

Why would that be?  Before I read the article I assumed he died of exposure.  Maybe there is some sort of culpability on the part of the party organizers being that he was underage?
