It’s amazing that bowling is still going strong in Tokyo. Look at these great balls. This Takadanobaba spot has 40 or 50 lanes. The attendant was also good looking.

Yahoo’s fired CEO fights back & I think it’s the start of Act 2
I am no fan of Yahoo as a service or business, nor do I understand America’s fixation with bleaching their hair.
But I simply love how Carol Bartz, Yahoo’s CEO who was fired last Tuesday by telephone, has broken every rule about being forced out. She refuses to use euphemisms and press releases, and has called the board “doofuses” in the business magazine Fortune. She says in the interview that the board “fu#*+d me over.”
Those are some ginormous balls, and perhaps a career revival. Godspeed, Carol!
Underwear obsession
Just when I feel jaded about the blogosphere, I discovered a new blog InvisibleGaijin that mixes wicked satire and faux news with a focus on men’s fashion. Swoon.
The above is from InvisibleGaijin’s story about Japanese underwear, which connects undergarment obsession with recession and soshoku danshi (herbivores), and in part reads:
Self-professed gaijin with love/hate relationship with Japan, Fuzakeruna Konogaijinme, commented, “Japanese salarymen always turn inwards in recessions, peering into their navels in hopes no one notices they don’t do shit at work. Underwear that makes your balls feel good always sells.”
