If my memory serves me correctly, Japanese teachers begin class by taking a bite out of a bell pepper and shouting, "ALLEZ CUISINE!"
Egad, no bondage?

Yanagi San is right.

I mean exactly what, dearest Wiebe!

Aren't we white folk rediculously stupid?

In any case, yes I knew what I was writing.

Ok. and how would one say: "I hate you, I hate your clothes, I hate your hair, I hate your tastes in fine wine, and your shoe lace is untied. Dick."

Omae ga kirai da. Omae no fuku mo kirai da. Omae no wine no shumi mo kirai da. Kutsuhimo hodoketeru zo. Aho.

Substitute Aho (which means stupid) for:

Baka - Fool
Penisu - Male Reproductive Organ
etc. etc.

If you've got a Japanese language pack for your browser installed (you <i>do</i>, don't you?), you can go to <a href="http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html">this page</a> for translations both ways, and written examples (both in kana and kanji).

silly people. One can learn Japanese best through Dance Dance Revolution music. I recommend Butterfly, Nori Nori Nori (I think that's what it's called...), and Shooting Star.

Or, you could take those "classes" and watch "anim

'Shooting Star' is originally an Anabolic Frolic track, guy.

He's probably the most renowned Happy Hardcore DJ ever, and he's totally white to the max.

I'm off to see him on the 8th! :D He's a Toronto local.
