Hello!! Mr. Butch!

Who doesn’t want to look like Mr. Butch?
A hairsalon fairly close to my place.
OH NO! Not here!

Sorry for the tiny picture.
Toilet signs
July 31, 2006
You know those “We aim to please so you aim too, please” signs that amusingly decorate restaurants sometimes? I saw my favorite ever toilet sign at Bee Darts in Namba (yet another of my darts hangouts).
It reads,
Please stand closer. Your Tomahawk is not as long as you wish. Manager
I want one in my toilet!
Maam, it’s about your baby…

An advertisement for diapers found in front of a nursing room in Haneda airport.
Nothing subtle

Remember that sign with the little cute guy that told you to “Stay out of here”? I found a new one today at JR Osaka station.
Nothing subtle about this picture.
There was a friendly caution as well.
By the way I wrote a longer update about my new apartment but decided it was too meaningless to post. I’m in my newer, bigger, smarter, faster apartment. It’s delicious and great.

Bars
February 25, 2006
The naming of bars in Japan can be a whole webpage in itself. Most small shot bars follow a simple pattern:
(random word) Bar (random word)
The few strange ones I can name right off the bat are Bar None, Bar Isn’t It?, and Sense Pleasure Bar (this one’s near my apartment and it’s not at all sexually themed). One bar that’s always made me question what they serve is Bar Blow.
In all actuality, it’s a reggae themed bar with shitty wooden stumps for stools. I went back there recently and they’ve moved shop. They moved right across the street actually and it’s not quite reggae themed anymore – they have a much bigger space and slower service.
Take a hint
October 27, 2005
There’s a lot of construction going on at the JR Osaka station. There are a lot of posters with cute characters like this fellow put up on the dry walls.
But on closer inspection, this cute character tells you this in English:
Might as well tell you to fuck off.
A Sign At Work

Mike’s evil finger warning me. Too bad. The furniture and the tatami mats are really delicious.
Sod off
October 06, 2005
While us North Americans don’t use the word sod often, I do hear it at work amongst the Brits once in awhile. Here’s your chance to get some Sod Water to damn yourself. By the way, it does not say “soda” water – there is no ‘A’ at the end.

Happiness of delivery
January 26, 2005
The woman and I have been getting delivery more often lately. We’re sick of Domino’s pizza so lately we’ve been trying other cuisines. Our latest gourmet meal on wheels is a place called Fanders. The food was alright but a little pricey. Two katsu bentos cost 2300 yen damnit. It wasn’t bad but the restaurant in the covered shopping area downstairs sells the same shit for a lot less.
Here’s a scan of the box. Can someone translate this into English for me?
