If so, I need some help translating this…
Do you speak Japanese?

No comments on this? Aren’t you people watching it?
This film is available through Netflix under the title Funky Forest: First Contact.
Long time reader, first time poster…how can post such filth?
UNSUBSCRIBE!!!
I think I need help. I found that somewhat… arousing.
I can’t help but wonder if we Americans aren’t somehow partially to blame for this…you know, because of that whole Nagasaki/Hiroshima thing. I am sure that must have had some fucked up consequence on the Japanese psyche. I do know one thing though; It’s shit like this that makes me want to see a lot more stuff blown up to all hell.
Am I think only one that watched it thinking that it’s sad that William S. Burroughs wasn’t alive to see it?
It’s now time to leave work, and I still can’t get up from my desk.
I speak Japanese.
Alright, Pete. Here’s the chance you’ve been looking for to impress me… Let’s see what you’ve got.
And, Ted, I’m sorry to hear about your unfortunate engorgement. Hopefully it’s passed by now.
I want my five minutes back.
It’s mostly really mundane, everyday conversation until the end. The teacher likes their song and offers them lunch. They step on his shoes and he gets pissed.
It’s mostly even weirder because it’s so normal.
Ken, it would kill me to lose you as reader. You’ve been with me from day one. Let me know if there’s anything that I can do to remedy the situation. If you want, I can do a whole week of nothing but Joanie Loves Chachi videos? Or, maybe some glass blowing demos. Just let me know what you’d like, and I’ll put it up. I’m not in a position where I can easily afford to lose readers, especially ones as loyal as you.
So, Pete, they don’t explain what the things are? What are the kids saying as they’re handling these things?
No, they explain nothing about them. That’s what’s so weird. It’s totally normal except for the weird things.
So what’s she talking about at the very beginning, as she takes the things out of her bag, separates them, and begins stroking the nose hair?
In that opening scene they’re gossiping about an Upperclassman. Is her dad okay, is he still living with them? It seems like they’ve gotten very poor since she started high school, what with expenses, buying her violin, etc. And her uniforms are starting to look dirty, and her hair is looking dirty and messed up. But her dad was a chairman, a well off guy, so they’re thinking, maybe her dad isn’t at home anymore, poor thing. And she used to have a really cute dog, but they don’t have that dog anymore, so it seems like something must have happened. And she’s thinking, maybe her dad…?
And that’s where it bites her tongue. Weird, weird, weird.
I want these people prosecuted.
And I want these ladies prostituted.
They appear to be made out of the same stuff as Fleshlights.
Not that I’ve ever seen one.
