Yes, Japanese all over the place over there. Its been that way for decades. Seems odd to the rest of us Atlantic Canadians too.
They study or used to study Anne of Green Gables in high school as a primary text.
They are obsessed with the land of Anne.
Er
The rand of Anne.
And robsta.
(the letter ‘L’ and sound it makes is not something linguisticly easily accessible for Japanese people
So all my wife’s friends from Japan struggle with the names of everyone in our family)

I love it when they say flied lice instead of fried rice. First time I heard it was at a Chinese place in Montreal as a kid. Still makes me chuckle.

Back in 1988 I worked as a media relations officer at the (then) G-7 Economic Summit in Toronto. In one of the pavilions in the media area they had a domesticated beaver that would swim around and people could feed it, etc. the Japanese PM's wife was obsessed with this little guy and the Japanese media horde was right behind her. At one point they had to close the pavilion because the beaver was getting too stressed out. When Japanese people obsess about something they don't go half way.

(insert appropriate beaver jokes here)

did the leaders realize you wanted to overthrow all of them or saw then all as fascist pigs?
 
That's a bit

That's a bit creepy, bro.
It was the 80's, bro. None of this was creepy back then.

I was young, footloose and fancy free, and while she was older than me she was also still young. I'm not sure if she was officially with Mansbridge yet but when she walked into the convention centre and came to my desk for her accreditation, well there was definitely a roiling in my pants.

You want creepy? How about wearing a suit with pants that are 4 inches too short with dress shoes and no socks. That's fucking creepy.

It's the modern look. That was about half the guys at my son's senior prom last month.
 
The fat, sports jacket, untucked shirt, criminal defense lawyers are my favorites.
The ones who look like they just ran 3 blocks so as not to be late for court and who inevitably drop a huge stack of loose papers all over the floor as they wipe the flop sweat off their brow with a wrinkled handkerchief and then they turn out to be geniuses who blindside the prosecution?

Yup, those ones.
