Ever been somewhere quite high and looked down (out a window) or something and thought, 'I wonder what would happen if I dropped the ice cream in my hand right now on that bald fellow's head'?

I have a certain weakness for acting on these compulsions ... sometimes they work out deliciously well ... and sometimes they backfire worse than a sweaty lardass who has just eaten a jar of chili peppers ... 😉

(I'm in for a thracing in another game. 🙁)

They have a few regular programs on Japanese TV set in the Sengoku jidai and Edo periods. Good viewing.

True,

The Japanese shows l am thinking of really are more mood shows with no so many battle scenes.

Kurosawa's MacBeth is quite the mood piece--excellent stuff, but do not attempt to watch it if you are even slightly sleepy!
