They, too, spend the day standing motionless except for the little bell they ring at intervals. If you drop some money in their bowl they say a quick blessing and quickly turn back into a bell-ringing statue. I've heard that most of them are frauds; they buy a monk outfit for around 3000 yen at a temple gift shop and then, by doing the begging monk schtick, they earn several thousand yen a day, plenty enough to earn their living.<BR/><BR/>Okay, so they're not silver, but anyway...<BR/><BR/>You'll have to introduce me to the Cosmic Monkey when and if I manage to make it to Portland next.The Moody Minstrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342935635794595909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-85664480952605212542008-02-26T05:15:00.000-08:002008-02-26T05:15:00.000-08:00Sorry, don.

Hellboy?<BR/><BR/>Arkonbey – I felt little guilty about this post because Cosmic Monkey is the kind or store you need.<BR/><BR/>LB – Most of those holidays have Witchy connections right?<BR/><BR/>You like Cosmic Monkey<BR/><BR/>Selba – Hey You! It was a scary pic but really well done. The snakes just came right at me when I had the 3D glasses on.<BR/><BR/>Eaglewing – Most of the hole in the wall stores are gone in Portland. They had to get serious or go out of business. Some places cater to the toy crowed a little too much for me, but there you go. <BR/><BR/>Arkonbey – Yeah, the store I mentioned has a gamming side and a hobby side (models). There is no other room for the gamers so they’re right there, in the way, when other patrons are trying to look at stuff on the shelves. I’ve been considering writing a letter. <BR/><BR/>POP – The strip malls drive me insane! We’ve got ‘em here as well but you can head into the city to get away from them. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, you’re able to come to Portland someday so you can!Swinebreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947060321484913676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-76137412853702865562008-02-25T05:32:00.000-08:002008-02-25T05:32:00.000-08:00What a cool and interesting day you had.

The 3D art and slides sound fascinating. <BR/><BR/>The airport at Fukushima erected a big statue of Ultraman in the terminal to celebrate their 15th anniversary. (The creator of Ultraman was from the adjacent town.)
