Extra Hard Cock Grease

Now I'm sure some of you reading this were probably looking for porn, so I'm sorry to disappoint you.  But this is a real thing.

SEE!

You can find these little gems of ridiculous word play all throughout Japan.  Though everyone "learns" English from grade school, somehow these things slip though the cracks.  You would think that in the global age of the internet someone would do a google search of Cock Grease to see if that was an appropriate name.  It would only take 10 seconds to realize that this product name didn't exactly bring up good imagery to sell hair wax. 

In the above photo, that woman walked in and blocked my shot, but you can sort of read the sign for the water they are advertising.  Its called Clytia, They have a Website.  Anyone else getting thirsty thinking about Clytia??


But of course the winner of broken and busted English will always go to clothing.  I really need to remember to take more pictures of this kind of stuff.  Even though I speak English as a first language, there is no way I'd ever be able to think of putting "All My Exes Got Married" on a shirt.  I love you Japan, but I will never fully understand you.

SO SO FLY


I just had an epiphany: Japanese fashion is the greatest thing ever....ever. The men and women here are so extremely stylish, its impossible not to notice. I also can't help but notice the fact that its been getting colder and colder in Japan (February is indeed the worst month in Japan) but the women are by no means wearing more clothes. On the snowiest of days you can still see 100lb/45Kg girls in high heels, short skirts, and perfect hair.....god bless 'em.

Many Japanese girls don't even question it. They just say that "Fashion requires patience." This may just be the man in me, but I think everyone (especially American women, hint hint) can learn something from this. Japanese really like to look their best, and it most definitely shows. The high heels in 6cm of snow might be a little too much, but I appreciate the effort. Whats so wrong about looking great every hour of every day???... Nothing

When I first got to Japan, I was immediately attracted to almost every women (and some men) I saw. I thought it was because everyone was so healthy. Being healthy doesn't hurt, but the biggest factor HAS to be that the Japanese (both boys and girls) put how they look ahead of unimportant things like comfort, and functionality.
