When I was in high school, I knew a guy who aspired to "open a zoo...like Steve Irwin."
(Peripherally related, but related nonetheless.)

One of my Aussie friends loves using the Japanese exclamation "Yosh!" a lot.

I say the Japanese word Sayonara sometimes instead of goodbye. You'd be surprised how many people don't know what that means.

I only know it from a song by The Pogues. Great band, great song from a great album.

Is it sad that everytime I hear "Sayonara," I think of the "Sayonara Boys" from "I Survived a Japanese Game Show!"? (Yes, this was the inspiration for THAT CC level...)

Every time I hear "Hot Ziggity!", I think of a certain game series whose name I probably shouldn't mention here, just in case it inspires yet another yet another thread.

It'll probably be a while before I start another thread, lest I be tarred and feathered.
(Though I'm tickled at the thought of a thread entitled "Yet Another Yet Another Thread")

Oh, no...I may have opened Pandora's Box yet again.
