Octopus balls?No thanks, I’ll just stay with my buffalo nuts!You are joking right?Great idea to take ur black belt test over there…..one question….you guys stayed on the 20th floor with all the earthquakes recently?I take it yall are quite secure with the way they construct the highrises there to prevent them collasping….those octopus balls must really steady a fellow!Ha ha!Sorry I think Kyles sense of humor is rubbing off on me……what a nice scene of the homeless man.Are there homeless over there also like in the states?What a nice man he was.Lovely country there it seems vibrant and really clean.I hope Kyle got to feeling better and Good Luck fellows with ur blackbelt exams..
Tokyo, at least the modern construction, sustained pretty much zero damage from the earthquake, to my understanding. They were prepared, way more than we are over here in California… at least for a quake down in Tokyo, which is closer to the big one they were expecting to come next, from the south. The Sendai quake was further north, and at 9.0 much larger than what anyone was expecting. We could feel aftershocks every few days, but the only other sign that anything had happened was the nearly complete lack of tourists.
Yeah, homeless guy was great. Can’t make a fair comparison based off one guy, but he sure was generous. More on the octopus balls next week. By the way, this was filmed a couple months ago.
Thats right …I remember now you explained the lag time on an earlier episode…a big reason Im not a detective…Oh hey,I wanted to tell you, our minister,who is also our new mandolin player(she cant play a lick)but neither could us all at one point.Anyway I told her about “toneway.com”for help in learning her new instrument.I also told her to check out some of your family videos that shows Kyle ripping through those hot licks……and one more question….how cold does it get before you put on some shoes Luke?HA HA!!!!
