Guess I'm crazy, I don't see anything wrong with that,or even 'oh, wacky Japan' even.

I'm amused by the dipping into history for the 'Love, American style' logotype however.

Say, Matt, has this horrible experiment in Pee Cee Food called 'grilled' KFC hit the shores of Yapan yet? It's really, really bad.

You're such a creap, Marxy.

Don't think I don't appreciate your N.W.A. reference, because I do. I once claimed that was the motto of Pomona College.
