So what is the skinny with the Chin Meister? Anybody done the dialing duties?

13th is a day of Mabo goodness for the masses?

I have a presentation finishing at about 1130 on the other side of town and my colleagues are fully aware I may be jumping in a separate taxi to hurry to a Very Important Meeting. So count me in by 12:15-30. Don't worry, I can eat quickly I and catch up if you start.

Yes, I've done joejones' job, and we're ready to roll. Since I've done his job, Mabo #8 is on him. Let's all vote on that.

Well done young man.

I shall sit at the head of the table and let you young'ns work out who gets what.

I am going to be the fire breathing dragon in reverse trying to play catch up.

Just a heads-up. If Thursday is even partly sunny, I may head out of town for a beach.

Mabo is good but it can't compete with sunny day & a slow week.

Thanks for the heads up. The good people of Kanagawa are locking up their daughters ...

The beach? On a nice day? During the Obon holiday? Say hello to the rest of Tokyo for me while you're there!

If this Thursday is still on, count me in (Mabo, not the beach...unless it's a beach Mabo).

Satsuma imo in the trunks is the way to go - Out front if you're looking to make new friends. Down the back if you just want to clear some space.

No Kanagawa. Too many Minatojin.

North/east to Onjuku, if at all.

Solid.

Glad to see that some people have their priorities straight.

Angry Typical

Client:"So, you're leaving for the US next week? Here's a list of 40,000 accelerated deliverables that we need before you go".
F'All. I'll need the mabo to sustain my drive.

Mabo with the Inner Circle is always a good choice. ^

Onjuku's nicer in September anyway. Just less eye-candy.
