Pop quiz: What is this object?
a) back scratcher for sumo wrestler
b) vegetable pruning device only used during Sacred Harvest

I choose C - it's always C!
Actually it looks like it could be a sort of scarecat (vs. scarecrow) in the Zen garden....

It is a Japanese Ely Tiger that says, "CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM FOR WINNING THE 6A FLORIDA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP". Now that is a smart Tiger. Lots of Love, K-san

WoohOOO! Go Tigers! I hope there are some photos around - I know my "playas" here would like to see them. Omedetto gozaimasu!

"Scarecat" cute.
So, everyone, your Japanese word for the day is: "kakashi" (scarecrow).
So, please repest after me - "ka ka she"
(sounds like a cereal, eh?)
Yeah - throw that word around the office and you'll sound so "kashikoi" (wise, clever)

Definitely "C". Since I'm looking at the original, can actually feel it's "heft" and just imagine how it will move those sacred stones around, it just has to be a Zen rake............or maybe it's a spaghetti server??....hmmmmmm

I'll choose"C" also, as your Dad is usually right. But whatever it is, do you think it might scare away the woodpecker that has been waking me up every morning at 5 AM!??!!@# I'll take two...

By the way, in the old Holland tradition, "Congratulations on your father's fe-R-duck." That would be "birthday" in dutch - and I'll bet it's not spelled quite like that!
