When I was your age
There is no touhou

I guess it was my brash and outspoken attitude that set this guy off. I mean I was practically asking for it and I knew it. In Japan, if you mention games, manga or anime in a conversation with strangers you better make sure you stuff some socks down your pants and have a cute girl around your arm. Or two, preferably.

I had neither.

As a matter of fact all night long I was carrying around a boxed US PlayStation 2 Israel had brought for me from the States. The man had just given me the damn thing, what was I supposed to do, go all the way home just to drop it off and come back? So yeah, my appearance screamed gamer and I couldn't care less.

Still, I am not the kind of guy to sit down and take shit from anyone, let alone strangers who decide to make fun of me because of my hobbies and passions.

"Do you know who Mamoru Oshii is motherFUCKER?" I snapped back. "Or Andy and Larry Wachowski, or Quentin Tarantino, Stan Lee, Sid Meier, George Lucas even!

What's wrong with people having hobbies anyway? Or being obsessed with them. What's wrong with people having passions?

Yes, passions motherfucker. Something that boring-ass cool dudes like you who spend half of their adult life in smoky bars or two-bit clubs chasing after every uglyass pussy that so much as gives them a second look know nothing about.

What do I care if someone loves music so much that they spend all their money buying records and CDs, what do I care if someone is obsessed with basketball, skateboarding, 19th century literature, poetry, fucking stamp collecting or ghey pr0n.

Ah, I made that thread...

I can't pretend I managed to apply your advice. Today I caught my reflection in a car window whilst walking my dog and wanted to run back inside to hide from the world asap...

a ton of images of an unrelated character stifles discussion: yes it does hurt the thread

I am using the word discussion in a loose sense naturally

Cirnos everywhere

A frozen frog embodies an unusual biological structure. It shows no signs of life. Its heartbeat, breathing and blood circulation have come completely to a halt. When the ice melts, however, the same frog returns to life as if it is has woken up from sleep.

Normally, a living being in the state of freezing confronts many fatal risks. The frog, however, does not face any of them. It has the main feature of producing plenty of glucose while it is in that state. Just like a diabetic, the blood sugar level of the frog reaches very high levels. It can sometimes go as high as 550 mmol/liter. (This figure is normally between 1-5 mmol/liter for frogs and 4-5 mmol/liter for human body). This extreme glucose concentration may cause serious problems in normal times.

In a frozen frog, however, this extreme glucose keeps water from leaving cells and prevents shrinkage. The cell membrane of the frog is highly permeable to glucose so that glucose finds easy access to cells. The high level of glucose in the body reduces the freezing temperature causing only a very small amount of the animal's inner body liquid to turn to ice in the cold. Research has showed that glucose can feed frozen cells as well. During this period, besides being the natural fuel of the body, glucose also stops many metabolic reactions like urea synthesis and thus prevents different food sources of the cell from being exhausted.

What are those colorful things attached to Suika with chains?

Why does Cirno freeze frogs?
