Important warning regarding Japanese condoms

When I first came accross this information, even though it was by experience rather than data, I didn't belive it, but the regular Japanese condom has a diameter of 32 mm, compared to a "nominal width" of 54 mm [which appears to be the with when pulled out flat, hence half the diameter, so I calculate...] and thus a diameter of 34-5 mm.

Larger sizes are available, amusingly named "US Sized" [the bomb leaves a lasting inferiority complex] and "Black Sized".

Now, in my personal experience with such products, I ask you not to use the local products with your boyfriend, he does not deserve to endure that pain.

On another note, this entire debate reminds me why I study Economics, since without fail, anything said in the political arena about the subject is charlatanry.

On a brief note, it's sorta scary about how some of the people who complain about inflation the most are it's main beneficieries. Historically, unless you're a parasite living off interest, it's hyperinflation or a supply shock [ala 1973 and subsequent decade], you'll end up with a higher real wage [real meaning adjusted for inflation].

If you want deflation you can lose your job and live in the park for the rest of your life like the Japanese unemployed.


But hey, Turks aren't European and I liked my pentecostal holiday, and I object to the vaguely worded economic ideas on the basis that they're "anglo saxon", NON!

How about the fact that there never really was a great plot scheme planned out, the vast majority of the story line being built on off the cuff comments originally added to create the illusion of depth, and thus all continuity is being pasted onto what is already here with shoddy results, hence the constant editing of the original material.


Seriously, when they release a cartoon series bridging the gap between 3 and 4 it will involve the anti-monitor destroying the multiverse and creating a new one, where technology and fighting are inferior despite apparent progress.

They're pulpy pastiches, nothing more, stop treating them like they are! [that goes for most things with an expanded universe]

Dammit, it sucks when my jokes get ruined by obsessive fandom :(

For the sake of continuity, did it explain how Boba Fett and the clones shed their kiwi accents?

I read in some papers about the first try being the result of "brilliance" by Slater.

To think, if he was slightly less uncordinated, you know, say had the reflexes of a pensioner, it would have been a knock on, but to have insompetance to the degree of missing it altogether, oh well.

On another note, to only objection I had to the NSW team that was chosen was Kimmorley.

It looks out of place because he didn't steal it from somewhere else, it's 100% original.

Hey dude, don't judge like that, it goes with his eyes.

on the politics of it all, the paraphrasing of contemporary speeches and the naiming of Newt Gunray are pretty shallow anti-republicanism, whilst not really presenting reasons why, but the level of depth is par for the course with Lucas, the films glorify war in the end anyway.

it's a minor point that epople interpret the films as against mechanised warfare, for it's dehumanising elements, yet makes sure that the badguys, as clones or robots, are dehumanised completely...surely the humanity of war lies in the fact both sides suffer, rather than just the cute creatures on your side...

meh, comes from trying to read into popcorn.

The Geneva Convention, for the purposes of preventing Crimes Against Humanity, outlawed such games, you might have to go to North Korea to make it.

I second Esseb's noting of Future Boy Conan which also segues into Miyazakis later work where I also feel I should mention that the title Nausicaa and Warriors of the Wind aren't quite interchangable, insofar that the latter is some 30-40 minutes short and with drastically rewritten dialogue. Whilst it's gorgeous and wonderful and all, it's remarkably one of his worst films.

I also second the recommendation of Watership Down, it's about 10 minutes shorter than it should be, but it has gorgeous stuff in it.

And also, I know of two sequels to NIMH, another one after Rasco...and I can't remember the plot much at all.

No, the audio in the game is all CDAudio, rather than wav and like, which is why the dialogue sounds really good, but has been cut rather short in the cd version. It's fin playing it in a cd player though.

The audio drama is a genuine scripted dramatic piece, and I downloaded it from www.the-underdogs.org , it might still be there.

AS someone who has never owned a console, and does not even play games anymore, I like the Nin Rev.

That's a spoiler?

I like his book, "All I needed to know about filmmaking I learnt from the toxic avenger".

Especially when he talkes about his wife giving birth and adds "I don't know if you've ever seen a baby being born, but it's horrific. If I saw something like that coming out of me, I'd hit it with a hammer"

Believe it or not, but Sgt Kabukiman was actually an attempt by Troma to enter the mainstream.

Of course now they just make films for their own fanbase, which is why Citizen Toxie was crap.

10 seconds of research indicates that "Don't phunk with my heart" reached 11 on the SU billboard charts.

It's a crappy song anyway, and moreover http://www.fuckinggoogleit.com/
