Saitama is easy to miss. "It looks just like Cleveland, only I can't read the signs."
Tell you what, I'll start a Japan thread in Coleman Francis Mountain. I don't want to distract this thread from the greatness which is Corn-job!

The author of The Joy Luck Club evidently wrote a book that revolves around this American point of view. It's called Saving Fish From Drowning.
Like when I went with my parents to France and my dad kept whining about how the country wasn't good enough for him.

Hello forgive me for resurrecting the Konchan appreciation thread. I just saw Konchan on TV recently and he is doing fine for all of you untiring fans out there. He is currently 75 or 76 yo or so. He is going around with a comedy troupe headed up by the super famous Enka singer "HK" (I forgot his name, I don't really like him so much) but everyone knows him as HK. Anyway Konchan was in a 2-hour murder mystery - similar to a Columbo show, and he was playing a funeral director I guess it was. I always liked Konchan. Here is a photo of him from the internet - he is signing a commercial sign for an energy drink. You can see these signs in various places in Japan - he was a spokesman in the 70s, maybe 60s too.

Very nice. And look, sure enough, his trademark glasses slip move. Classic... I guess. www.cafepress.com/habaneros/2979584That energy drink ad makes me thirsty... for ultra violent porn comics. I don't know why. Hmmm.... makes you think, don't it?

Sorry that one went right over my head; what is the connection between porn and japanese energy drinks? Is it not a wee reference to manga? Mike and the bots said something similar in one of the Japanese film episodes Neptune Man maybe?

Oh, and 'moan the Cornjob! He looks great for his age. Must be guzzling that energy drink he's selling!

Wow, he really is looking great! He must have been fairly young during the Gamera movie era. It looks like he drew a little caricature of himself on the sign along with his signature. Thanks a lot for posting that pic, klickitat!

I'd never seen this thread, so good find. That energy drink ad makes me thirsty... for ultra violent porn comics. I don't know why. Hmmm.... makes you think, don't it? Sorry that one went right over my head; what is the connection between porn and japanese energy drinks? I thought Selby (and MST, for that matter) was simply referring to the Japanese propensity for pornography (fictional, I'm sure). Specifically the anime type, maybe?

I have never seen anything like that in the years I have been living here. You have to intentionally look for it to see it, and I'm not looking.

He looks great for his age. Must be guzzling that energy drink he's selling! He really does. He looked good in that TV show I saw. It was made a couple of years ago I guess; he was already in his 70s then and he was running around flailing with his glasses slipping down on his nose as usual. Lots of energy.
