It's not as easy as it looks to take the piss, you know. See, for one thing, to be funny you need to understand what it is you see before you, before you can (here comes a technical expression) rip the royal shit out of it. Yeah, so? So, Our Man has been somewhat humbled by the good, witty and knowledgeable posts coming from the likes of Japan Without the Sugar and Armchair Asia recently (both former winners of the OMIA blog of the week award, you know), not to mention the excellent Herr Penguin's recent post here. So, how to respond? Why, by following a classic newspaper approach to a crisis: It's time for a re-design. Well, ish. Our Man has increased the number of stories he links to from three to 10 in Ourmani's Daily Specials board, which he has rebranded and moved over to the right for the time-being. Why? 'Cause there's some good shit out there that Our Man (and you chaps) should know about.
Oh, thought for the day, care of Will Rogers: There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

My God Our Man!
The Japo-Blogo-Sphere is going to hell and you are playing with type faces?
The Once Mighty Titans O Japan are falling down on the job. Observing Japan is consumed with run-on sentences; Shisaku has fallen off a cliff; and GlobalTalk is turning into a thinking man's (albeit wasted) National Enquirer.
We need you to pull yourself together man.
We need you to tell us what H*** (not ladylike to spell that out) is going on in the Land O Rising Sun.
Carry on, for Queen and Country and the all of us who are bored and unamused.
But darn it, Mr A, Our Man likes ugly. It reminds him of a lunch specials menu outside one of his favourite haunts in his youth.
Madam Chairwoman, quite right function above form, will get back to pontificatin' shortly. But Our Man is the last to know what's going on over here, as I'm sure regular reader(s) are aware.
