DannyinJapan who is there...

[Dave Rishar]

Then there's the octopus, which experience apparently sent the author of the essays in search of a special type of physician. He won't say just what the octopus is. Perhaps a research project for the edification of the forum, Danny?

Today at work I made the mistake of telling the kancho story. A coworker, who'd been stationed in Japan for some years and had a Japanese wife, evidently had some kancho problems with his daughter; he said that he'd finally put an end to it after she kancho'd him in public.

Thirty minutes later the Camp's first power kancho had been delivered. The wars began shortly after that. While it may be humorous for children, it loses something in the translation when it's performed by adults from a running start.

I will say two, and only two, more things on the subject:

-I don't know what the "octopus" is but I can guaranfrickintee that it's better than a kancho.
-I plan on slipping a DVD case into the back of my trousers tomorrow before work.

This job certainly keeps one on their toes.

Satori,

You know a quick Gaijin Smash would likely solve the Kancho problem...

If you are really loosing your cool and feeling belligerent, tell 'em they might be recyclable...

Give em nicknames.

I was going to watch a movie ...but reading the teacher's accounts of Japanese adolescent behavior was alot more entertaining
