(Mikio) Narita ariport. Have to split town for a few weeks to top up my visa. Tiny Kinokuniya book kisok. Old English porno paperbacks for sale, complete with Eric Stanton cover art: Swinger`s Night Out. A mountain of glossy skin mags next to the manga. Za Besto, Urrecco. Who reads that shit on the plane?
I buy a Street Jack fashion mag, cuz I`m a trendy little schoolgirl inside. The woman in front of me, early 40s, dressed a shade or two too young, saddled with a hangdog face she can do nothing about, makes the purchase of the year. Making Out in English.
My boarding gate is filled with schoolboys in their Harry Potter uniforms. From the second floor, you can see the pecking order in harsh relief; the cliques and the winners and losers.
Praying for some Kamen Rider or Sentai teams on the plane. With half a bottle of Xanax and some Ritz Bits, I`ll probably settle for in-flight games of Punch Out.
Frankly, I find the whole "Making Out in Japanese" book a bit overrated. However, I do encourage you to check out some of the slang books out there. Peter Constantine's Japanese Slang Uncensored" is a pretty darn good one, as it looks not only into the slang created by certain circles within Japan's small crime rings, gaming hotspots, and shrines, but it also explores the circles themselves.
And, of course, a few million ways to say "penis".

You are a pathetic loser, and it thrills me to no end to know that once you die, no one will truly remember you.

Actually, that's probably more true of myself, rather than Patrick. There are already standing stones raised to him on three continents. Valparaiso even has—no kidding—an equestrian statue in bronze; it's the one where he's straddling a Shocker Cyclone, outside the Universidad Católica.

Carl:
Did anything ever come of the plan to do a statue for Mexico City of him and Amuro Ray? I kind of like the preliminary drawings of them in normal suits staring into the distance.
And while he's gone we always could hijack this comments section to keep things moving.
