'Jiipan' blue jeans are completely unsuited to the heat and humidity of Japan; ergo, I have none...

(PIC forgot to lower the gear...) "Three in the green, cleared to land!"

My missile is bigger than your missile...

Why is the approaching typhoon not referred to by its number?

"A parade of Pikachus, [sic] the most popular Pokemon character, welcome visitors to the game's first-ever championship held in Japan."

Photo caption correction: The plural form of Pikachu is Pikuchu; 's' is extraneous.

Oh, for dog's sake: get a life...

Purple hair speaks volumes: 'Guilty as charged, Your Honour!'

"In some chain restaurants, you’ll even find mini sushi-ized takes on other foods such as pizza, tacos or hamburgers."

Oh, really? Isn't that interesting!

"And I would happily live here if you'd have me." How embarrassing! How insulting; this might shock the Prince but most Japanese people do not eat Kobe beef for lunch. In fact, salaries here are stagnant and have not increased in decades, while prices of many food basics such as rice and noodles, are rising sharply. Did Harry have rice for lunch? He is already leaving to enjoy polo in Singapore, but most Japanese have never played nor heard of this so-called 'sport'.

With those ugly tattoos and shaved head, he certainly looks like a Yakuza...

STOP tormenting these defenseless animals!!! Datte, datte, datte sah, maitoshi doori--this is what we always do, every year, therefore [we are unable to change the schedule]...

Yubaru: typographical errors aside, I sympathize with your elderly friends trapped without water and air-conditioning. Let's all hope that Typhoon #6 makes a quick exit and bypasses Shikoku...!

"But, 19mg (19/1000th of a gram) of the cannabis plant isn't enough to do anything to anybody..."

It is enough to get anybody arrested. Therefore, all the more reason to avoid possession; Sir Paul McCartney might possibly agree.

Where there is smoke, there is fire...

"About 80 Hong Kong travelers had been stuck in a hotel that lost Wednesday..." Lost Wednesday? Lost Wednesday what?

"Eras Tour in Canada's largest city, and that tickets would soon go on sale for the November 2024 dates."

November, 2024? Let me check my appointments but I do believe that I will be busy on that day...

"...uninformed opinions.. or are just plain ignorants."

CORRECTION: 'ignorance'

(Question: Freudian slip? Mechanical error? Arbitrary miscalculation?)

Stupidphones are a distraction in the classroom; in the workplace; and in the hands of those operating a motor vehicle.

How does a timer help a student to study?

Thank you 'itsonlyrocknroll'...excellent link!

"There's more to this story than what's in the article."

Joe Blow: very useful information!

"I still feel that tasers should be standard issue for J-cops."

The pen (words) is mightier than the sword. Just because you feel it does make make it come true...

"My wife and I haven't."

Good for you & your wife. Are you a member of the Imperial Family?

"The city bus drivers in my town don't look that old."

Never judge a book by its cover.

The constant shrieks coupled with an exultant, shouted "SAH!" when she was playing table tennis seemed to be intended to upset the opponent's concentration and rhythm...

"Blond hair"? The attacker probably had dyed orange hair...

A third suspect has now been arrested; the 60-year-old wife of the Sapporo doctor. (The doctor is a psychiatrist, and not a physician.) Police have discovered a severed human head in their home.

Are there any votes for the smoky rich peat finish of Teacher's Highland Cream...?

If only Kyoto would prohibit visitors...

I was wondering about that, too; Google translates 'suppon' as 'soft-shelled turtle' J to E; and 'snapping turtle' in the opposite direction E to J...
