- 24hr game centers (they shut at 11)
- beer vending machines (phased out a few years back)
- tobacco vending machines that are open 24hrs without the use of an id card
- park motorcycle anywhere
- many bars and cafes long gone
there were all the things that made living in this country great
Try going to a northern prefecture, some of those things still exist.

Caps. Bastard things. They sell boxes of them here, and there seems to be a current fashion for little blotchy rat-faced shits to go around town centres constantly throwing them down in order to make a mildly distracting "pop" noise, which judging by the looks on their nasty little greased-up dribbly lipped mong faces is the height of fucking anarchy or something
geez doesnt thinking about this stuff make you feel old ? it makes me feel old...

On the same point, I miss commercial breaks without hearing about a guys erection and how it may have a problem if it lasts for more than 4 hours.

Star Trek TNG (Picard and Ryker included - otherwise I dont care)

and yes... Pantera and Alice in Chains. thank god I saw Dime before his time was up.
Saw them play with Morbid Angel and Slayer at the PNE in Vancouver.
RIP
I became an Alice in Chains fan shortly before Staley died.
As a huge fan of both, if you get a chance to see AIC with Duvall, give it a try. He's no Layne, but they still kick ass
- Greg the Bunny
- The Yugo GV
