Maybe you've been guzzling down so much Japanese Anima that you think everything is a death cult.
Originally posted by black beetleI took your suggestion to emulate Musashi charging Ganryu with a broken oar, and the clerk at Penney's looked at me as though I was a total loon. Besides not being able to figure out where they kept their Ganryu, she said she couldn't even begin to slide a piece of wood through the card reader.
