Picture The Scene

You are a Japanese orphan.

You live in an orphanage in Tokyo.

You are a baby.

You live with many other Japanese orphans. You wait to be adopted. You wait to grow up. You wait to be rescued. You live your life.

One day (May 28, 2006 to be exact) a visitor comes to the orphanage. How thrilling! You think, as you peer out between the slats of your crib: “Perhaps this will be the day I get a new mom and dad? Perhaps this will be the day I get noticed and rescued! Maybe today I will be adopted!”

And then this walks through the door.

    He looks like some kind of Communist bogey-man with that red arm band.

    “I am the Ghost of Purges Past…”

    hahahahahaha

    Or like he’s playing a messed-up game of I Spy.

    “I spy … a bunch of Japanese orphans for me to dangle over balconies!”

    …and all the Japenese orphans try very hard to pretend that they are actually the Hello Kitty dolls in their cribs, lest they be whisked away to wander a foreign park, their heads covered with red veils…

  6. Alex Nunez says:

    This is one of those times where it would have been handy to have a Samurai around to protect the orphans….

  7. red says:

    ricki – hahahaha Hello Kitty!!

  8. Missy says:

  9. Nightfly says:

    I get all my Hasselhoff from Curly. Damn her!!!

  11. red says:

  12. John says:

    And the nurses and attendants are all going “I told you those damn Gaijin were weird”.

    Jacko – thanks for making my interactions in Japan that much harder.

  13. Eric the...bald says:

    Well, crap. I was eating lunch.

  14. MikeR says:

    Eric wasn’t the only one eating lunch…

    Every time I see a pic of jacko these days, I can’t help but think of the Paul Westerberg song Mannequin Shop:

    “You’ve got the face that you chose.
    Honey, can you spare a nose?”

  15. Jen W. says:

    Too bad the orphan doesn’t have Kung Food Guy to protect it from the scary monster!

  16. jackie says:
