Abiko marches on

So the phony war is over! If you are reading this post it means Our Man's movie-making suite of high tech gadgets (hey, it came free with the computer) has not crashed YouTube, so here is the third installment in Our Man's burgeoning movie empire:


A few sleeve notes:

This whole thing was inspired by comments from a certain Mr Loco of Yokohama who mentioned the Beatles' "Happiness is a warm Nuke" would be a good anthem for the Happiness Realization Party.

Our Man doesn't do happiness that well, but he does like a little Clapton doing "Can't hold out" from his strung out days.

Other inspiration came from Dr Datsun Kildare, who gets off on shots of the Abikan Maritime Self-Defense fleet; Lady Winchester who remarked on what a dump Abiko looked from the last video; and anon who told Our Man to get on his bike again. So he did, last Sunday afternoon.

You have only yourselves to blame.

Any chance you can commandeer a vessel over to Tennodai on Friday night for some beers?

The old lady shooting past was actually a bit of CGI magic. Never happpened, like the moon landings.

Where can I start? Where can I finish?
The shirtless dude walking under the black parasol? The faux dentist style viewing chair embedded and chained to the concrete foundation? The marching children with their red flag flapping in the breeze? The swan boat head peeping over the bushes. Yes, it is talking to me.
Priceless! Sublime!
Thank you! Thank you!
