The cat is in a state between dead and alive while the box is closed, but if you take peek it's either dead or alive…
The most retarded experiment i can remember, but still a good thing to research for with some professors instead of cats :devil:@Aohige: Who's the tophat cat around here?
I'm pretty sure Aohige is talking about JERKDISEASE. He has an avatar of Top Cat.
You have a point, but I think it's all about the severity of the insults and the resulting flaming.
If someone like oh…. I shouldn't mention any names cough People Call me D cough… gave too many random inflammatory insults without a constructive criticism to back it, he/she will be warned and punished if it persists.
The sea is back!!!!
I see a lot of rolling of eyes and, "OMFG iz thiz 4 reel?", but these are precisely the discussions and times that make being a OP fan memorable.
"Hey guys! Remember the time we all agreed that Oda wrote a great chapter?"
or
"You and your ancestors are all ignorant whelps! XXXXX is going to happen because YYYYYYY!"
"BAD FORM! How can you type when you're obviously blind to THE SPINNING OF THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS???? ZZZZZZZ is going to happen because AAAAAAA!"
and so forth.
These are the days we'll remember…
I'll have to remember that exact phrasing for the future.
"How can you type when you're obviously blind to THE SPINNING OF THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS???? ZZZZZZZ is going to happen because AAAAAAA!"
I will use that. Oh yes. I will.
Tomorrow is a bad day.
When there's a OP break but JUMP being sold I always feel so…so dirty...so wrong.
Paying 250 for a pile of pages filled with something you know SHOULD be fun and amazing but in the end all you're left with is Naruto, Bleach and your shame as you cry yourself to sleep that night.
One Pieceless JUMP is the 'she ain't pretty but she's cheap'-hooker.

Bakuman is pretty good generally.
But yes, I couldn't see buying the mag for just that.

It still blows my mind that you get something as big as a weekly SJ for the USD equivalent of $3-$4. I've always wondered about the economy of Japan, in terms of how much people get paid is that as cheap as it sounds, or is it like paying $8-$9 in the US?
A little trivia I did not know till today.
Sanji's voice actor in the anime also dubs Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter role in Alice in Wonderland Japanese dub.
I see what you did there, Oda. 
Doesn't Hirata dub every one of Johnny Depp's roles?
Yeah I thought that was one of those deals.
Like the guys who does Bruce Willis is about 150 million years old and yet…

It's cheaper than dirt-cheap.
It is one of the few deals left on the planet.
The other being buying four 120 yen cheeseburgers and making your own double cheeseburgers.
I know that he plays Jack Sparrow too.

Yeah, I was thinking as such. Considering brand new video games are like, what, 8,800 yen over there? I figured the yen had to be a lot stronger than the dollar. That's another thing I'm curious about Japan. I hear a lot of their food like burgers and pizza are… not exactly burgers and pizza. I suppose I should hit up the Japan topic in the help forums for further discussion.
They're burgers and pizza.
At least the major names are.
But if you're looking for pizza like 'the guy down the street' makes it you're shit outta luck. There are places that make mean-fuckin' burgers though.

Honestly, Greg, unless you're in New Jersey, that's pretty much the case anywhere else in the world.

Do you by chance rida ginza line sometimes?
Like 2 fridays ago together with your wife and another lady? Black jacket black shirt jeans and brown shoes?
If it were summer or winter vacation I'd say 'probably' but I've been stuck out in Fukui since January so not this time.
Honestly, Greg, unless you're in New Jersey, that's pretty much the case anywhere else in the world.
Whether I agree with this statement or not depends solely on if we have any shit-crazy NY pizza fans here. Because I've learned not to mess with them. no matter what their 'pizza' tastes like
Damnit… I need to learn Japanese and go to Japan.
Hey, how good is the sushi?
Damnit… I need to learn Japanese and go to Japan.

Expensive. That's all I would say.
But… It's an island.
There should be tons of fish available.
Insert remarks.

Hahaha, that is a very valid point. 
Expensive. That's all I would say.
No way. Haven't you ever tried kaiten sushi joints? I can eat like 20 plates of sushi for 30-some bucks. Seriously. Whenever payday comes around (tomorrow) first place we gaijin hit up is the local kaiten sushi.
And sushi can suck ass or be really good. In fact, there are probably some places in NYC better than cheap places in Tokyo. But if you head out to the countryside….mmmmm.
Anyway, this is better suited to the "I've Lived in Japan." thread in Help Forums.
Carry on then.
Even the cheapo kaitenzushi places are still way more expensive than average food.
I could get a week's worth of various lunches at Matsuya from the same value as one trip to one of those places.
It's weird, people outside of Japan have this stereotypical misconception that sushi is a every day food in Japan.
When in fact, it's about as rare occasion as eating a full steak meal at a steakhouse in Texas.
Even the cheapo kaitenzushi places are still way more expensive than average food.
You realize the frame of reference is American sushi prices.
A country where I paid $30 for about 7 pieces of some salmon sushi that tasted like ass.
When sushi joints across the US dish out plates of tuna sushi for $1.50 I'll consider it pricey.
I bet Sabo is sushi by now.
If Sabo was eating some nice sushi during Ace's execution, I can totally see his reasons for not appearing in Marineford.

Kappa Zushi used to be 100 yen for almost every plate. Miss those prices and taste.

So…. weekly? .
Yeah, I was thinking as such. Considering brand new video games are like, what, 8,800 yen over there? I figured the yen had to be a lot stronger than the dollar.
Err.
That is the opposite of how things work.
Video games and anime in Japan are just plain expensive.
If you think about it logically, 8800 yen means nearly $100 for a video game. That's why when you hear about any African prices, they're some ridiculously high number of their currency, because their currency is worth LESS, so the equivalent is a much lower number of dollars/cents.
So, a direct correlation would imply that the yen is weaker, which it isn't.
A better example that shows slightly more of a correlation is manga. The most expensive volume of manga ever would be like 540 yen, whereas average volumes are like $10 in the US.
But honestly, there is no direct correlation you will find, except by going and exchanging money. Prices are more of a pseudo-cultural thing.
Point: The yen is stronger, but your example does the opposite of prove your point.
Also to the off-topic thread in general, I actually like Family Mart's conbini sushi >.> Does that make me a horrible person? It's really cheap, too <3
Kappa Zushi used to be 100 yen for almost every plate. Miss those prices and taste.
And I take it by past tense they're no longer around?
No, they're definitely still around. I dunno if they're less common now (some might have closed down???), or if godsleftsock just doesn't live in the same area anymore, but Kappa Zushi is still a well-known conveyor-belt sushi chain, and the prices are still 100 yen per plate.
Ace should cook some sushi for Sabo's mourning party.
Too bad Akainu has already served Sabo with a portion of fresh Ace sushi.

Did a Google search. If it's still around it doesn't even have a site. That shows how widespread it is.
Yes, I realize there are a few decent places on the coasts but I'm talking about throwing a stone and hitting a cheap kaiten sushi place. Which is why I said, "…across the US.", inferring all kaiten sushi restaurants follow suit.
It still stands that at many if not the overwhelming majority of sushi places in the US you'll pay a LOT for very little. And that simply is not the case here.
@greg
There are Chinese buffet restaurants in US that have all you can eat sushi corner for no extra charge.
So that's like $8-10 for all you can eat.
Granted, they usually taste like ass, and only have the cheapest cheap crap they could afford to serve.
But to my surprise I actually found a chain near my workplace that had unagi.
Every time I go there, I mostly eat inari and unagi, since the taste isn't as compromised as other cheap and terrible ones.

A chain? What's the name? Perhaps there's on in AZ.
You've exactly expressed my opinion on the "free sushi bars" in Chinese buffet restaurants.

And even the seediest 100-yen sushi joint in the middle of Tokyo has better stuff.
Am I not making myself clear or is everyone who likes to nitpick just coming out of the woodwork.
You simply cannot find cheap good sushi widespread throughout the US.
You can in Japan. eos.

And I love sushi… sob
I hate paying through the scrotum for good, fresh fish. Hoping there might be some good but cheaper places in and around LA, where I'm moving in a few days!

Your name is a euphimism for penis.

No one is nitpicking you, attacking you, or even arguing with you.
We're having a conversation. That's all.
Where in my above post have said you're wrong about anything?
I'm simply telling you the surprisingly pleasant experience I had finding a all you can eat sushi place nearby.
It seems like every single string of conversation you had this month, you seem to react overtly defensively, and start shadow boxing non-existent opponents.
No one's arguing with you, or telling you you're wrong. Just telling you different stories they had. You know, like any conversation. Taking turns expressing one's story or experience.
Every post need not be an agreement or argument. It can be a different perspective in relation to the topic.
And every contradictory story need not be an argument or attack.
Had a bad month?
Chill out bro, no one's coming for your cookies.
(or a symptom of withdraw of One Piece fix :ninja:)
A chain? What's the name? Perhaps there's on in AZ.

King's China Buffet. However, it seems to be a franchise run independently from each other, and another King nearby doesn't even have a sushi bar. So it may not help much.
Your name is a euphimism for penis.
It's from one of my favorite movies. You can draw any connections from it that you wish.
i just finished reading this chapter and i'm crying like a big baby. u~u even if sabo isn't dead, the thought of such a sweet little kid getting murdered is enough to make me feel really bad. and seeing ace and luffy crying makes it even worse. ARHGG! i don't want sabo to die. ;o;
also people on this forum all argue too much, i just read a few random pages from this thread and UHG. one piece shouldn't invoke such srsness in people. @Zkaiser: scott pilgrim rawks :3 that was actually my avatar for a while too, lol.
No one is nitpicking you, attacking you, or even arguing with you.
Me: You simply cannot find cheap good sushi widespread throughout the US.
A: Actually there's xyz
Me: Yes but you simply cannot find cheap good sushi widespread throughout the US.
B: Well there's actually zyx
Me: Yes but you simply cannot find cheap good sushi widespread throughout the US.
A: But you see that actually there's yxz.
I call that nitpicking. Having a conversation would be more like:
"Yeah that's true. I've only been able to find xyz here."
or
"You're wrong fuck-face and here's why."
Either I'd find acceptable.
So in other words, only conversation you're willing to accept is someone either completely agreeing with you or starting a flaming argument? :wassat:
None of my posts stated "no Greg you're wrong because ***".
All I said is, "and then there's this too" or "I feel this way about this" as an additional perspective.
You know, it's just like a bar talk. Just chattin'.
I'd comment on this more, but I can't phrase it in such way to not risk sparking another tantrum. So I'll leave you be.
I think you're kinda hard to hold conversation, honestly. Too stressful.
I feel like one has to keep checking your expression to make sure you're not in a bad mood and about to snap.
I'd make jokes about chicks and first date experiences, but even that might offend you so I'll keep it to myself. :ninja:
@Bree: Heck yeah, Wallace is awesome. Scott Pilgrim is a great comic.
Speaking of great comics, how about we TALK ABOUT ONE PIECE AND NOT SUSHI?!
HOLY FUCK, ONE PIECE BREAKS ARE STRESSFULL.
WHERE DO YOU THINK THE STORY IS GOING TO GO FROM HERE? IS THERE MORE OF THE FLASHBACK TO TELL, OR WILL ODA BREAK OFF AND CONTINUE THE MAIN STORYLINE?
OMG , AND THE COVERSTORY. AREN'T WE DUE FOR A COVERSTORY? IT WOULD BE PRETTY SWEET TO GET ONE NOW.
I miss the Strawhats so much. T_T
The main reason why I think Sabo is alive is the fact that Luffy currently thinks that Sabo is dead. And he lost Ace a few chaps back. So there is literally no driving force for him to become a pirate king. It would be a great feeling if he gets to meet Sabo and Sabo inturn gives him some words of encouragement and gets luffy back to normal.
I cannot imagine how luffy can get back to normal in any other way.

ahhhh i haven't even thought about what effect all this shit happening recently has had on luffy. >.< he's separated from his crew and his only family left besides garp is now dead. fuckk! poor luffy! i would absolutely LOVELOVELOVE it if sabo was alive and did show up and like, became the next crew member or something. i dunno. i just want everyone to be okay. ;~;
i miss the other strawhats too! they all need to find each other soon.
We'll be getting spoilers soon enough. Hopefully that will calm down some of the board hostility. It's always the same every time we have a break. People get edgy.
I'm hoping that the rest of the Straw Hats show up after the flashback to help Luffy out of his current funk, like he has done for all of them. It would be the perfect way to set him back on the path.
Honestly… wouldn't it be crap... Luffy: buhu ace is dead cry .... oh sabo is still alive? Nevermind ace i still got someone it's ok he died?
I mean cmon.... i dont say sabo is dead nor do i say he is alive BUT i say luffy remembering sabo is alive would be a piece of sh*t... sabos "death" affects him somehow let's see how this turns out. And maybe on day we're going to see sabo again i'd be ok with it
