Hello from Japan #155886 03/30/09 01:13 AM Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,319 Central Texas H heybud OP Lunker OP heybud Lunker H Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,319 Central Texas Just wanted to say hello to everyone from Japan. We made the trip,which is tough on old people. Since we are 14 hours a head of you I am intereseted to see what time this post. Isn't there some way to take advantage of this time difference, like betting on a horse race somewhere? In Dog Beers, I've had one.

Have fun and send some more pics. Do they have any good beer to go with that octopus - you would need a bunch of it to wash down that cephalopod .
