Came because of the title (it’s one of my favorite books of all time), stayed for the offbeat slant on things. Loved reading your blog entries. I feel special to be in at the beginning of something way cool. I’ll definitely stay tuned to your blog.
Hey Planetross, I’m just going down my blogroll and encouraging those I read on a daily basis. I want you to know that I smile when I read your blog. Mostly because anyone who can make me laugh is cool. I also like knowing stuff about other countries without having to leave where I am…although I wouldn’t mind traveling more too. Keep posting.
You seem like a very interesting person. Very random. Are you British? I just noticed the way you spelled “favourite.” I spell it “favorite.” I’m pretty much American.
Wow! You are fast. Sorry I stole your idea, but I’m new to WP. I like it here, and I like your humor. My best friend is an ESL teacher in Korea. I know what you are going through. Poor thing. Drank any pine flavored beverages lately?
Dear PR<
I love your comments, most recently the one you left on my page ( about cerapalin.)
Thank you for visiting the berri site. I enjoy yours as well.
My BF (YogaBerri’s Creator) also likes doing dishes. It’s a lovely thing to behold.
Be well, and eat a green for the benefit of beings.
Warm regards,
YB
YogaBerri: Thanks for the compliments. I like reading your stuff; just don’t know how to comment on it most of the time. As for the use of periods/fullstops to space things out, I guess I don’t usually have that problem because of the photo at the top and the humorblog link at the bottom. Although sometimes the spacing screws up and won’t save properly. I guess dots are the way to go.

Thanks for the comment on my crazy blog about Andy Warhol. Yes, I keep checking out your blog. You are right about things overlapping. I wrote a new blog about Jean Beliveau and he is in Japan now. Not sure if he is near you, but he is always looking for a place to crash. It’s odd how people meet. Take care!
ello, just thought I’d return the favour and comment in here.
I’ve been reading your blog for a while but only commented once or twice…I’m the one sitting in the corner, reading the newspaper with two eye holes cut out of it…
Anyways, love the blog, can’t fathom out where your ideas for blog posts come from, but they are great!
You know the type: hanging out on the other side of the golf course fence, sitting in a lawnchair next to the sign “Cheap Golf Balls“. Usually they are sitting on a piece of land that has just absorbed your last golf ball.
What opportunists! 100% profit! Bastards!
Are there any other lost items that you can sell in the open and not be arrested for?
Selling lost umbrellas, pets, wallets, or dental retainers will probably find you explaining yourself to the authorities.
Yet…you have no problem ripping off a cartoonists work and placing it on your web site????????? Explain that one.
Lost Dog cartoon.
Kind of hypocritical, don’t you think???
dan reynolds: Your point is valid. I do try to credit or put a link to images now. I can’t say I did so for pre-August entries though. I can’t read the signature on the cartoon to figure out who the original artist is and when I search for that cartoon it only pops up on 300 people’s myspace pages: I don’t think any of them are the original artist for some reason.
If this is your original work, let me know and I will delete it.
(I know you have a very similar cartoon with a rabbit instead of a dog)
ninja nick: thanks for stopping by. It’s usually good to have an excuse for spitting mountain dew on the computer screen … when there are people around. hee hee!
I have to say that you have a wonderful blog. Also, we have a tone of the same friends which is awesome. Tony,Doraz, Dennis, S.Le and the list goes on. The whole gang is hear. I must say that you keep great company. If it is OK with you, I would like to put your blog on my blogroll. Thank you for the great blog.
I came to your blog via Bonnie Luria’s. Your blog is obviously not (meant to be) very straightforward, but I think I have gathered that you live in Japan. GAIJIN! I lived there 20 yrs. ago or so, for six months. I bet it’s still as weird now for gaijin as it was then.
Jala Pfaff: thanks for stopping by. I’ve lived in Japan for 9 years so far, with a 2 year gap spent wandering around South America after year 7. It’s still strange living here, but I don’t really notice it that much anymore.
I think I’m pretty straight forward … no secret codes, hidden messages, scavenger hunts or anything.
I’m just basically goofing around like I usually do.
When someone does an impression of me … does that make me impressionable or impressive? note: pressure cooking makes me nervous. double note: I don’t do well under pressure … sometimes coal is just coal. … if you’re looking for diamonds I think there are some in my pack of cards. triple note: all suits are pressure suits […]
I guess if I speculated enough and assumed a position … I could produce a theory. note: Theories and Laws are separate … in fact. double note: “theory: an assumption or guess based on limited information or knowledge.“ I think I’m living in a theory … but it’s just my theory. triple note: my theory is that […]
Every day ends the same way: … with “day” written at the end of it. note: why do people say the entire day’s name? “To is Mon; yester was Sun; tomorrow is Tues.“ Maybe I’m just a simplificationist … or simple … or something. double note: no one ever asks what night it is. I guess they’ve had all […]

You were saying there was no Tex Mex in Takasaki? I did some digging and hopefully these places are nearby (I’m not familiar with Japan):
El Torito in Shibuya
La Fiesta (Festina?) in Roppongi
“Too Cute!” in Gunma-ken
Hope this helps

I want to know if you have a box or packet of assorted eyes and on a whim you switch them out. Variable eye colour could be fun.
You should eat your veg.

Okay, this has been troubling me:
What is your avatar?
planetross // June 20, 2008 at 3:06 am |
My avatar is me with my head in a garbage basket. The photo was taken on a little island off of Salvador in Brazil: Morro de Sao Paulo.

Hey, just wanted to warn you that your “what’s in my refrigerator” page might get a few extra hits because I was blogspotted by the Malay Mail and was compelled to mention it when they asked about my most amusing moments when blogging…

Hi PR (“hyper”?) –
I, uhm, tagged you for one of those “meme” things. No obligation or anything, but if you feel so inclined the link is here.
pannonica // March 29, 2009 at 8:25 pm |
Actually that’s the link to the continuation of the post. This is the proper link.
