Spirit of the Season

Tea is nought but this: first you heat the water, then you make the tea. Then you drink it properly.

Brace yourself for Japan’s scariest-ever Halloween
Image
Halloween is big business in Japan: Over 135 billion yen ($1.2 billion) was spent in 2016. While trick-or-treating is not the norm, costumes sell out on Amazon, Halloween-themed menu items show up at high-end and low-end restaurants and pumpkins sell like hot-cakes.

And it draws big numbers. In 2015, a 3,000 person costume parade in Tokyo’s Roppongi district drew 98,000 onlookers, while the informal October 31 gathering at the capital’s famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, and its surrounding area, customarily draws over 70,000 costumed partygoers.

I love the traditional monsters. Especially the crazy gambling degenerate frog.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who do thanksgiving.

Remember if the cops show up to break up the gathering, it's a protest, not a celebration.

Holiday Hints:

If you want to avoid getting arrested and spending Thanksgiving in jail...... you need to be prepared to:set something on fire, break some windows, vandalize the cop car, spray paint some BLM graffiti, and get two inches away from the cop's faces and scream at them

Oh yeah, if any of the cops are black, don't forget to yell "Uncle Tom!" and "Race Traitor!" in the faces.

Don't forget the bricks and spray paint when you are picking up your Thanksgiving supplies! :D

Happy Hopery! I think 2020 turns 21 and starts drinking.

O'Reilly's Daughter

As I was sittin' by the fire
Tellin' lies and drinkin' porter
Suddenly a thought came to my mind
I'd never shagged O'Reilly's daughter

cho: Giddy I ay, giddy I ay
Giddy I ay for the one-balled Reilly
Giddy I- ay, no balls at all
Rig-a-jig-jig, shag on!

Up the stair in into bed
There I threw my right leg over
She didn't mind a goddam bit
Laughed like hell when the shag was over.

Suddenly a noise upon the stairs,
One-balled Reilley out for slaughter
With a brace of pistols in his hands,
Lookin' for the man who shagged his daughter.

I grabbed O'Reilly by the neck
Shoved his head in a bucket of water
Rammed the pistols up his ass
A damn sight faster than I'd shagged his daughter.

Now all you ladies sweet and good
Yours is the choice to make entirely
Take it like a good girl should
Or up the ass like the one-balled Reilly
