After reading it I gather that is is a doo hickey to keep a little bag or box hitched to the belt of a kimono. Seems like to me that the ancient Japanese folks would have done better to just invent pockets and be done with it. Then they would have had time to figure out the intricatecies of a fork.

Not sure what else I could use it for - not even hunting pigs I always suspected the lessons learned from making great blades jump started Japan's steel industry, in the industrial age. The 6.5mm Arisaka rifles from the '30's were superbly strong rifles. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

But you my friend seemed to pull the more civilized from both sides. You've not seen him after a half-dozen double JDs washed down with Budweiser. At that point, other words besides civilized come to mind more readily.

BTW, there is a Japanese Steakhouse in Nashua, NH that tops ANYTHING that BeniHana's can put forth, including the table-side entertainment! The Onion Volcano is pretty cool. The first time you see it. Leighton, if you get to Anchorage, go to Kumagoro restaurant downtown on 4th Avenue. Not bad for a hole-in-the-wall place. Most JAL air crews make that their home when in town.

Plus, that whole JD night thing got blown all out of proportion. DuxHateMe had me laughing at the same time I was trying to knock back a triple Jack at the casino, and I ended up inhaling half of it into my lungs. Next thing you know, I hit Apache Gold...

As far as the other spot, I'm thinking you'll have to show me some time in person, but the fact that the JAL folks get in there is most encouraging.

Of course, there's another place, Yamato Ya, that I like, too, but I understand that they have moved and some of the reviews aren't as good as the earlier incarnation. I guess we'll just have to go sushi hopping!

The last couple nights I rolled up sushi at home, wife and kids devoured it so I guess it was ok. Last edited by 458 Lott; 03/24/12.

And I missed your gem-quality words above the first time around. Pure awesome. Sorry to hear about your coma, BTW. You bumped your head, like really, really hard, I assume? A couple more crappy shots. Sorry about that. Too grumpy and usually rushing off to work when the sun's up. OK, there's a twist in here. Who'll be the first to spot it?
