| Hey Jude! Meet Slash. |
Proudly introducing SLASH Black and SLASH Silver, folding bikes to the stars (of Kibichuo). They may be small, but if they worked together, I think they could take on Judy-Juuudy judyjudyjudy (JU-DAY!!) in a fight. The girl who took our photo was either coming from a Dress Like A Ho Version of a Member of the Claus Family party... or she was going to work.
 At Megamart, I pushed the helper call button in the bicycle shack, and 3 guys came running. Sadly, the stylin' ones were too slow and we were stuck with a dorko sunflower that started shaking when he saw Bruttney's looming shadow. I finished our police registration forms, and he pointed to a blank space:
Helper: Yes, you need to write your name in kanji.
Me: (meaningful pause) My name is only in katakana...
Helper: (blank look) It needs kanji.
Me: ...because I'm a foreigner.
Helper: (terrified, confused)
Me: How about romaji?
Helper: (hyperventilates)
Really, were you surprised by lack of Japanese names? Was it our black shiny hair and vacant giggles that confused you? Was praying that the J-clerkboy with spiky hair and sparkle-sparkle earrings would stroll in again (which is not a thought that often crosses my mind), but no dice. |

Alas, i think you're right. Judy is no longer the shiny, lithe little minx we all knew and loved - five months of neglect in a damp shed has left her rather worse for wear. Shame on me! Oh, and Slash and Slash? Make sure those Kibichuo girlies keep your chains oiled...
