sorry, jb, had to do it... Posted by Picasa

dave in japan Posted by Picasa

and there they are. let it be know that they are chanting "we want cock, we want cock!" thats right ladies, try and deny it... Posted by Picasa

thats right, huge phallically splendiferically funny penises, and lots of them...indeed, welcome to the land of virility, hopeful soon to be parents, and yet another one of those places where you're wondering just where in god's name are you...it was a trip, but a little intimidating, especially as matt and i were outnumbered by ladies, four to one... Posted by Picasa

okay, shifting gears. this is a pleasant little shrine we visited in the mountains. but wait, look closer...tell me what you see Posted by Picasa

and a great elementary school to boot...no, not one class, you're looking at the whole school Posted by Picasa

then there is this... Posted by Picasa

these guys... Posted by Picasa

kids kicking the crap out of one another in the rain (look at that girl, pure trepidation...she's about to get a little piece of what that kid on the left is getting) Posted by Picasa

...me sharing a large skirt with a japanese woman while trying to pop balloons... Posted by Picasa

on a lighter note, there was also the jedi game, one of my personal favorites... Posted by Picasa

this sports day also hosted something i couldn't even conjure up in my most horrid nightmares...for those of you who know my abject abhorrence for clowns, you can only imagine what images like this did Posted by Picasa

...this is why there are now 4 japanese men driving me face first into the ground. ironically - or fortunately rather - as a result of my nihonjin deviance, at least we were going rather slow when we hit the ground... Posted by Picasa

this is the mukade (centipede) race; see the legs, all tied together? i'm not sure who decided i should be in front, but if you look carefully, you'll notice that my right foot is planted hard and that i'm trying to lift my left. you might also notice that everyone else is doing the exact opposite... Posted by Picasa

these kids go through some pretty ridiculous lengths to entertain, and entertain they do...they also get hurt. i've been to three of these events, and not one was injury free. hell, i tore up my own palms and knees at one of them and i only participated in some 4 or 5 events. i love this picture; i guess the spotters told those kids on top, "if you're going to fall, make sure you fall backwards..." Posted by Picasa

sunday sunday sunday! the most bizarre, dangerous, and downright frightening - if not fun as hell - sporting event you could ever imagine. if you're not there you better be in jail of dead, and if you're in jail...break out!!! thus, the japanese sports day...let er' rip... Posted by Picasa
