Wow - I'm REALLY off hoshi kaki now!<BR/>(grammar note - in Japanese they don't distinguish between singular and plural, so on one hand it's easier not having to learn how to make words plural, but on the other hand it's difficult to sprinkle Japanese words into English as sometimes they don't make sense in context! The whole sing/plural thing also makes Japanese all the more interesting to try to understand!)<BR/><BR/>*obscure "Star Trek" reference...I wasn't a huge fan of the show, but for some reason I remember hearing a sound clip of all the times Bones (the doctor, right?) told Captain James Kirk that someone had died. As I recall, there was very little deviation from, "He's dead, Jim." and "Jim, he's dead." OK, so I admit this is probably much funnier in my head as I imagine my brother or dad doing an imitation of this ridiculous clip...and maybe I should mention it's 5:30am here?Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315026262335793286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943481.post-73422583841668665782008-11-14T22:11:00.000+09:002008-11-14T22:11:00.000+09:00is the mole dead?is the mole dead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943481.post-49135942923029950792008-11-14T10:35:00.000+09:002008-11-14T10:35:00.000+09:00Ummm....you sure those hoshi kakis (ies?) aren't a...Ummm....you sure those hoshi kakis (ies?) aren't actually something removed from the dead thing ? ? ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
