  I made fishcake once in a fishcake factory in Japan.
  
  It was unpleasant and smelly.

  トフグおめでとうございます！I've been lagging on my comments lately, trying to get some personal things out of the way so I can concentrate on some new things for this summer. I also need to catch up on some of the articles, but thats neither here nor there. Anyways, keep up the good work guys. Always appreciated everything you guys posted on the site.
  
  @Viet
  Can't wait to see what kind of articles you have in store for us for the summer. Too bad your video was cut off. Sorry, but I kind of laughed when that happened because its sort of similar to the editing style that Koichi uses for his other vlogs. Also, what kind of poster is that on your wall? Reminds me of those Magic Eye books I use to stare at when I would go to the dentist as a kid.
  
  @Koichi
  Snazzy looking 'Thank you' cards, looks like the gift card envelopes they use for the iTunes gift cards. As for the hair, I can no longer spike it because its too long [Gatsby FTW]. Maybe I should shave it like you did, it is summer (-_-). I should really update my avatar.
  
  @Erin
  *Thumbs Up* Care for some musubi? Till this day, I still use your fashion article as a reference to what clothing I buy in the stores.
  
  Again, congrats guys!
  Keep Supporting Tofugu!

  The poster are some pictures me and a few friends have taken within the last year. Pretty much just pics of life. I used Google's Picasa to generate the poster and a 42" plotter to do the poster job. Thankfully I get free printing at work because it costs a lot of money to make one :)

  Neat, I have a similar program for my mac for making mosaics, MacOSaiX. I wish I had free printing. I just made a 16x20 family portrait, cast me about $25. It wasn't even printed on glossy paper. [stupid Kinkos]

  I hate being not illiterate. All this reading and writing. Look, I'm doing it right now. I wonder if someone could deliberately unliterate himself. If didn't know English it would be a lot easier to learn Japanese, focusing on everything can say rather than everything I can't.

  Maybe I* shouldn't brag about my literacy if I* am going to be conspicuously leaving out personal pronouns as I* did in the above comment, which I* wrote. I* think personal pronouns are overrated anyway but I* feel the need to show that I* can use I* correctly. I*.
