And you guys thought I was bad...

Then check out what Lucky Star fans in Japan do!

I can understand the appeal and novelty of going to the real-life locations featured in your favourite show, but cross-cosplay and saying it's a "holy site"? It's all a bit much for me. Although, the idea of actually being able to buy choco cornets (AKA "chocolate bread rolls") is an awesome idea. Your thoughts, RLF?

I think that their parents should have beaten this nonsense out of them.

Methinks they live on their own.

Sure they do. Nerds are famous for that.

Besides, I've lived on my own. I still had enough residual sense from earlier beatings to know not to dress like a teenaged girl in public.

I'm most amused by the town's response. "Crazy cross-dressing teenagers are descending on us by the hundred thousand!" "What can we sell em?"

I was thinking he was referring to wearing a kelt, actually.

I can't believe I forgot how to spell "kilt." *Ampersand facepalms repeatedly.

As for beer perfume, I can't decide if that's the dumbest idea or the most brilliant gift for all of the world's rednecks.

Wasn't there a French perfume company that made a line of... "Exotic" perfume with scents like "semen" and "body odour"? The latter is particularly confusing, isn't the basic purpose of perfumes and deodorants to mask bodily scents?

Not to sound stereotypical here, but this is the French we're talking about here. To them semen and body odor are exotic.

Yes, one must first WORK to have B.O. Although, I wouldn't know why semen would be "exotic" to anyone.....
