Tokyo Olympics
Corbett | August 25, 2004 1:36 PM
This is pretty cool. A coin operated internet connection in a hotel lobby in Tokyo waiting for the airport bus. Tonight will suck because my flight is cancelled due to the %$&#! typhoon, which means I'll be wondering around Narita spending money on cookie gifts and iced coffee...
I've done pretty well on this Olympic trip:
1 GOLD medal for oversleeping and almost missing my flight.
1 GOLD medal for mixing sake with beer with butterscoth schnapps with sambuca with compari with vodka with whiskey with more beer with yakitori with my friend Shohei. World class hangover.
1 GOLD medal for getting stuck in Narita (the worst airport to wander in)because of a typhoon.
1 GOLD medal for [top secret] record company business.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>

Actually you only got the silver medal for oversleeping...I got the GOLD. If you don't like it then file a complaint with the committee...what the heck everyone else is doing it.

This is unfair! I deserve the GOLD medal for oversleeping. Team Oversleepers will file an official complaint and demand that the committee review the instant replay tapes.
