sasqwach says:
christ, thats a classic quote, I'm putting it on my blog under "comedy"

...and the sound of a two small geek's cry in the wilderness

But ask yourself this...can you cope with the temptation ? Long, long ago myself and my work colleague in trades fitting our standing would have worked with our hands making something from wood or metal, would we have built ships, cribs, tables and chairs,etc if the wood had news feeds, movie news, RSS, wiki's, podcasts, streaming radio, pirate tv downloads, movies and worst of all BLOGS would we had made anything at all !?

Bloody internet ! nothing but a distraction ! They never had it so good !

  worst toilet on the planet earth

Ts2b0103.jpg

Often I pass through Ueno station and sometimes have had the experience of using what I like to call "Silent Hill Toilet" just have a look at the picture...I don't know if its the strong ammonia urine smell, the cockroaches, the years of grime encrusted in the walls or the slightly surgical looking bin...If Masashi Tsuboyama is looking for inspiration for graphics textures for Silent Hill 5 , he should visit this toilet : It gives me the heebies every time I use it.
