In Japan, "My Neck, My Back" is a perfectly good song to play in the lobby of an English school all day long.

Every time I ask my kids to give examples of words that start with certain letter combinations, I can always count on at least four instances where they try to pass off names of Pokemon as legitimate English.

Takashi The English-Speaking Cable Guy came to our apartment again today to help out with communication as we got our modem fixed. He's been here like four times total, he always stays a little longer than is necessary, and he's very eager to come back if we have any problems at all. He even gave me his personal email address.
Anyway, as he was leaving today, he crossed paths with Liza, who was coming out of the shower in her bathrobe. He flipped out: "Hoohoohoo! Today is a lucky day for me!"
Okay, dude.

I am presently watching some very strange Japanese children's television. My listening comprehension level has risen from "Teletubbies" to "singing dancing cartoon birds in pants." I'm hoping I can graduate to Pokemon soon.

Oh, and a commercial just came on for an instructional baseball video called "How to Hit & Run." Is that funny to anyone else?
