  • omg, old people porn... definitely something that cannot be unseen oTL

    And I loved Dinosaurs when I was younger.. I thought the effects/production was so advanced at the time :3 Thanks again for the shout out 8D
  • I know! I loved Dinosaurs. I had completely forgotten about it, I'm glad Koichi brought it back!
  • I'm kinda surprised at the relative lack of interest in dinosaurs. I wonder how the US would compare.

    The fan art is really cool. She's a really good artist!
  • Yay for fan art :]~

    I guess its time to break out the new printer/copier/scanner & my adobe suite (which was intended for college) for this :D. Although, I am no artist.
  • wow . . .so much to coment on!

    I read about how the japanese girls last year were supposed to live to 86 . . . I think that is amazing, but when they turn 86 wouldn't that just freak them out? The social ties thing probably means taht they are watched after and taken care of by friends and family, instead of just put in a nursing home.

    How did the fungus get there? Did they just import it, or did it appear from no where?

    Yay Kobayashi-san! So awesome! He must feal really happy! I feel happy for him!

    The fan art is so cute! You three look very triplet like . . . yeah!

    ~emiko~
  • I think they are more freaked out with the age where their looks turn from young and attractive to small, hunchy old asian. I swear that this transition happens instantly.
  • lol im sher that's what they are concerned about more then death all tho it makes u wonder how tho's old lady's just smile all the time and make waving gestures at you i still don't know what tho's mean
  • they do that, because they are nice and caring?
  • k i like that more then what i thought i just thought they didn't like me or sumtin lol
  • ah! why would you think that? it isn't like they have a reason to dislike you!

    btw . . . i forgot to comment on kobayashis' hair . . . IT IS SO AWESOME! i mean it is blue . . . BLUE! . . . it was awesome when it was red and yellow too . . . i he really knows how to color his hair!
  • Oh, cool, Kobayashi finally beat Joey Chestnut in something. I remember when he first made news and people were gawking over how skinny he was.
  • I think I actually wouldn't mind getting one of those robots to read my the Tales of Genji..I've always kind of wanted some kind of robotic companion, sort of '_'...
  • Hooray for Kobayashi :D
  • Good for kobayashi at last. Maybe the satay had somethin' to do with it.....YUM.
  • good job on the news =]
    what interested me most was the flower, they look cool

    Kobayashi and his whacky hair also interested me lol

    im also going to attempt to make drawing =]
  • dont post my drawing up though lol they arnt good enough
  • a'ight, if you say so.
  • I feel so tall....
  • r u shorter??? in other pics ill draw u shorter than Koichi
  • I think he was referring to the height of the door vs him
  • Yes, what Koichi said. But to answer your question, I'm shorter than Koichi.
  • Oh, house is suppose to be the back round and like kinda far away since its smaller than all of u (i think) but i was in a hurry and made the house big with a small door?

    and thanks
  • Aw, are you sure?
  • well if u guys want
    they look like kid drawings lol
  • I like the fungus one! Very interesting.

    I want to make a fan art now!
    I love art~!!!
  • It's so strange (in a lovely way) that we're getting fanart, haha.
  • When Kobayashi wins, I feel warm and fuzzy inside. Love the blue hair!
  • WOW! Congrats to Kobayashi!! I figured it had to happen at some point!! Dinosaurs (the TV show)...now that takes me back! I use to love that show growing up! What does that say about my childhood...!?!....Loving the fan art section! If only I had some talent...

    STUPID QUESTION OF THE DAY: Did someone plant the fungus in Nara or did some of the spores travel that far?!
  • Way to go Koboyashi!
