It’s official! I have a screw loose.
That is, I’m spending a month here at Club Dead(tm) aka Toho University Hospital to blast and yank out a 25 cm long metal pin in my leg that was giving me a massive MRSA “bone fever”…Hmmm that getting “boned” sounds kinky.

Needless to say, I am still alive and refuse to die—I’m a true Tokyo Zombie posting this at midnight from my hospital bed.
Check this YouTube video of Japanese kids who believe that a zombie is coming to get them by their adults. These kids they don’t get scared, they get even, and they mount an offensive against the Zombie.

SCOOP!

Real story (machine translation)

Just in time to welcome in good fortune for the new year, here’s Kaiju-Taro’s New Year’s Fortune Cat, the DHARMA Version. Just to explain, the maneki-neko /”beckoning cat” is a common Japanese ceramic sculpture having a raised right paw that supposedly attracts money and fortune.

The size is about 7.2 inches.
New Year’s of kaiju-taro Limited product. This is DHARMA Ver.

Here is the spirit of Japanese Christmas that I captured with my cellphone camera las weekend. The photo on the left taken in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro district shows that in Japan even Rudolph can get nailed with a parking ticket and be forced to sign off for the infraction.

The new Tokyo parking regulations and the new deputized civilian have become very strict in the past two years. The parking wardens have been handing out parking tickets starting at 20,000yen ($200USD) and up. Even stricter is the photo below taken by Tokyo’s indubitable otaku, Danny Cho, showing Tokyo-Akihabara’s parking wardens issuing a ticket to this lame itasha/car.
I said “lame” because the hard-ass parking wardens are incorrectly issuing a ticket to a car with what looks to be a white-and-silver Handicapped Parking Permit on the dash.

Note:
Itasha are Japanese cars plastered with anime stickers and other forms of otaku freakazoid decoration to show their lolicon pride (fetish). View the Youtube video below of an itasha meet, and see more photos of itasha/cars on Google-Image.

Here’s the Tokyo Metro’s September poster for “Train Manner” (sic).

Click to view real poster.

As I have mentioned before, this is a monthly series of posters in the Tokyo subway cajoling the so-called ‘rude’ Japanese public to have better train manners. In previous months, posters reminded women to “Not torture eyeballs on jostling trains” and “DON’T SWIM IN FRONT OF THE TRAINS“.
