    How was the Calcium Gospel received? Was the higher rate of lactose intolerance among the Japanese a hindrance to the Milk Daddy?


    Sixthed! (Or whatever number we're on now.)

    Hope you had a blast. I just found out that I'm getting to go in May for about ten days. I'll definitely hit you up for some guidance before then.
    That was hilarious. "Penis extinguisher hooo!!!"
    Big ups on combining TFW and medical humor :lol

    Hey Vangelus, how long do you plan on avoiding responding to comments in your own thread?

    You mean the one that blew out his flip flop and stepped on a Pop Tart?

    I eagerly await the One True Fan's responses. If he remembers that he posted about responding.

    It was awesome. :D 

    Real actual schoolgirls in real actual schoolgirl uniforms have huge skirts that go way way down.

    (context is for the weak)

    I swear I bought you like 12 Black Zaraks from the shop that has hundreds of them but they must've gotten lost in transit!

    COMING SOON!

    COMING SOON!

    Several! The fellow at Hero-Ganguu who knew me from Botcon, as well as one Mr Andrew Pugsley whom I met up with in Tokyo.

    I have been told that without someone telling you where it is, it can take -days- to find Den Den Town. I'll have to write up directions for ya all at some point.

    Their highly attractive appearance and large numbers makes the country a bit of a test for anyone whose titter is twittered by the feminine form.

    Yes, you can tell it's mine due to the "MILK DADY" written on my fingernails.

    Only a few, but I thwarted them with my Maser Missle Might attack.

    It was their country. Their laws. Their rules. My game.

    I got you like 4 of them but I swear they got lost in transit. :( 

    I thought I did, but it turned out she was a man. :( 

    One thing I did at a castle was see a famous sword with which a nobleman famously failed to a fantastic degree to assist his friend commit suicide.

    Thanks! :D 

    They all thought I was yakuza and avoided me. :( 

    I am about 5'9"! The overall story that would fit that would be how since I am half-chinese, everyone there thought I was Japanese and stupid (as I couldn't speak Japanese very well).

    I really really want to get them up somewhere.

    This is the truth. It made some of my sightseeing days very taxing.

    They say "Za One True Fan", as English is the international language of Vangelus.

    Though the Japanese language has no 'L' sound, its 'R' has a very interchangeable malleability with 'L'!

    I now ride the DenLiner, a train of time. Where will its next stop be? The past, or the future?

    He keeps wondering why people think he lives with his brother Go-Lion in Japan.

    (they both currently share an estate in Cuba)

    The grocery store and the combini. Honestly, cooking a big dinner for yourself, plus the VERY healthy Japanese snackfood world, makes for very delicious eating that's also great for keeping your mass down.

    I will, and thank you!

    There were issues at home. I was forced to relocate in order to protect the Illuminati.

    I glide using my natural membranes, so I feel great. :D 

    Interestingly, the subways often have a Ladies Only car so they can avoid being groped! I did hit the VERY fun nightclub scene several times, though mostly for my own enjoyment. Lots of hot women out there, but about as shallow as a puddle of spit. Didn't really get me very interested.

    That and they all didn't think I was a cute foreigner speaking cute pigeon Japanese, but an idiot local who couldn't talk as well as a 3-year-old.

    I enjoyed many things like Lunch Pack and such, but I dunno if I had anything American-brand now that I think of it...

    Fairly sure I had Kobe beef in -something-, but honestly that's mostly because I ate a lot of beef and was living a decent distance from Kobe. :lol 

    I did not see those. :( 

    Unfortunately our scheduled meeting was cancelled when they accused me of being 'a' True Fan, and not The One True Fan.

    I saw almost no Transformers at all, and I -looked-.

    That was in secret codes!

    The trip back was pretty hellish, United Air FAILS AT LIFE.

    I did not, but I -did- see Final Fantasy Potion! Very CG-image-coated cans of greenish pop that tasted like very very very weak fruit soda.

    I got distracted by Rock Band. :( 

    I didn't know of it until now, and I saw no vending machines containing underwear. :( 

    This does coincide with the detailing of events that was released to the media by the Transformers Fandom Illuminati.

    I got distracted by Rock Band. :( 

    I got distracted by Rock Band. :( 

    I also saw a castle! :D 

    The Japanese all thought I was Japanese, they really thought so.

    I did!

    I swear I had like 2 Black Zaraks for you, but they got lost in transit.

    Thought so, but I'm also sleeping weird hours at the moment.

    Hopefully Botcon!

    I got distracted by Rock Band. :( 

    Something like a Kuwoota Paondaa. The true ritz McFood there (which, BTW, is so much better than your McFood it's not even funny) was the MegaMac. Bun, two patties, bun, two patties, bun.

    Sheeit its like I never left the milkhouse boy

    I did not. I also just barely missed out on getting to go to some Hot Wheels expo that Voltaire was a guest at.

    Remember, the world will always be there waiting for you. :)  Flights to Japan aren't all that expensive, it's more the lodging and trains that kill your fundage. (and toys)

    I didn't see any pornographic vending machines, but the various Mandarake stores' manga sections had healthy and huge walls covered in fetishy doujinshi books. The best part, of course, being that there's no indication they're there, so you very suddenly find yourself facing things like "Hardcore Tiny Lolitas of the Sex".

    I did not, but I did salute a mannequin wearing a Kamen Rider suit!

    I tried so, so, so hard to locate Hard Gay. I was even based out of his hometown of Osaka.

    But alas, I only saw him once, and it was on TV. :( 

    Well lemme tell you sucka them Japaneses got a good face for the Milk Daddy's milky wares. Even if it made em break out with the growths in their, in their necks, they still drank a healthy cup of the Milk Daddy's hearty motherfuckin' 2%, because they is always ready to offer the milky tribute

    Japanese TV is the most boring waste of time I've ever wasted staring at a picturebox. It's one of the sad truths of the country.

    There are godly stores, but they are VERY secluded. You must locate the Mandarake outlets, which will hopefully also lead you to Akihabara or the -greater- geek mecca of Den Den Town in Osaka.

    Den Den Town has some videogame shops that are -packed- with gaming history, it's very inspiring. :)  The arcades are also a lot better there, partly due to the fact that nobody wants to game at home. Though, I believe the community feel their arcades offer -could- be brought to our shores in some way. (really, ANYTHING to save our dead arcade scene would help)

    How many bottles of Slusho did you drink? Was it 6?

    Do you feel like crawling out of the ocean and rampaging through a coastal major American city?
