Love it!

[AnnaZ]

New catchphrase ping!

[AnnaZ]

How's it pronounced? KAK-ka-te? kak-KA-te? kak-ka-TE?

 

(Hansel? HANsel? HanSEL!)

[AmericanInTokyo]

the middle way, IIANM

[AmericanInTokyo]

The more I think about it, we should put up the KOREAN of this. Since in the coming months we are liable to see that issued from Bush to the Axis of Evil country we are about to come to odds with.

[thinktwice]

Samurai status for Geroge W. Bush... coming!

[Roughneck]

LOL!

Me or Patton? Either way, you'd be right!

[jla]

fyi

[Grampa Dave]

KAKKATE KOI! KAKKATE KOI! YOU IRAQI/IRANIAN/SYRIA PIGS! KAKKATE KOI!

[Roughneck]

I'm going to get this book, think it will be good reading for the 4th. Patton was a great General, a true mans man. Todays generation of women just don't know what they are missing . . .

[Semper Paratus]

"KAKKATE KOI!"

Isn't that what Bush Sr. said has he lost his lunch in the Japanese PM's lap?

[Nick Danger]

That looks like Scott Ritter's name on the cover there... Scott Ritter's something-or-other about Iraq. What's that all about?

I don't see any "Kakkate Koi" there, though. I have long since forgotten 99.999% of whatever Kanji I once knew, so how is that written?

[Roughneck]

You know, the minute that the Chia Pet starts firing his missles into the Sea of Japan, the Japanese Political Elite is going to get really

Chia Pet! Funny! You are talkin bout the korean dude with the hair right? (sorry, cant remember his name, long duck dong or something like that . . .)Chia Pet is much easier.

[cherry_bomb88]

Most excellent!!!

You think it will hit our press just how popular Bush is in other parts of the world????

[AmericanInTokyo]

It'll certainly frost the nuts of libs everywhere!!!

[4mycountry]

Nope. Not that I know of.

Ask AiT. He'd know. I could be wrong (maybe).

[AmericanInTokyo]

More correctly, "Yo Kim Chia Head, the Short-Donged One"

[FrankR]

"The Japanese media and the book industry in Japan is VERY VERY anti-Bush. "

Well, if I had my choice of "like" versus "respect", I'll take respect any day of the week.

Of course the Japanese media is "anti-Bush"...most of what is fed to them is from OUR leftist media. Their correspondents who are here take their cues from our reporters.

The problem is, we give too much of a s**t what these foreign countries think about us...we have given most of them zillions in foreign aid, and yet everyday someone is "shaming" us because some little podunk country doesn't "like" our President, or we should be more like (insert podunk country here).

I personally don't care what Japan thinks about our President, but I'll bet you they won't f**k with him...THAT IS WHAT COUNTS. "Respect" trumps "Like".

You need to lie down, you're getting fuzzy in the head. LOL

"baka" will suffice for "crazy" but is really more suited for "idiot", "imbecile", "dolt", "moron", "ignoramus" and the like.

However, I have heard the westernization of crazy as "kurae(zh)ee", phoneticized and in katakana. For example, 'honma ni, aitsu wa kuraezhee' (really, that guy is crazy!) in Osaka for example....
