Don't think that comment was necessary.........

Mark's comment seems a straight-forward, genuine observation. Not some snipe about EBMM's lack of distribution Down Under.

I'll venture a guess and say that it might have more to do with bringing "gash" and "nuts" into the conversation than overseas distribution. Definitely not keeping with "family friendly" and probably not a "fun" read for a lady like Beth...maybe.

I have two questions.

1. Where can I get a lunchbox like yours?
2. Who loaned you the sports coat?

Those shops are amazing. Love the pictures. BP looks llike a very proud father in those pics.

I think I might go for a Biffzilla t shirt.

I'm happy there are not stores like these in my neighbouring countries... I'd have too many basses and nothing to eat...

This thread is about your trip to Japan. That's what the posts I've made in this thread have been about. I'll edit my first post in this thread to read "right hand", since that post appears to be an issue.

If there are issues with other things I've posted in other threads, please have the mods or your staff spank me there or PM or email me.
