Everyone, please be careful of the dangers of mistletoe. First, as it turns out, I've heard it's inedible. Even plants are inedible sometimes. Second, it is a trap. If you didn't know, mistletoe means "I will kiss you now" in I think some European language. So whenever two people stand under it, they kiss.

It's a shame Neechan isn't here.Women,

I've always considered impropriety to be a matter of what culture you're going by.

Well, I could do it by my culture, but I still think no matter where you're from, it's awfully forward to just kiss people out of nowhere. If it's a plant doing it, y'know, it's a bit mean. I don't think it's that serious, though. It's mostly funny.

[skybound_love]

Yes, I can definitely see the humorous situations brewing. By the way, is my japanese coming through clearly? I've been getting back into the language after so long not using it.

[shockinglycool]

It's pretty great. Just the sort of thing I needed to cheer up. Maybe that makes me a mean person, though. [Laughter]

It's great, it's great. You have an interesting accent, but mostly I'm jealous of how fluent in languages you are.

Knowing Japanese language was a prerequisite to my tutelage in the Uncho Shihan Jikiden, as my sensei worked with others who were not so savvy in english. I couldn't very well talk with them, otherwise, and gain their knowledge. I'm really not so fluent in most other languages. I traveled all over the world as an air pirate, so learned the most useful bits I needed to get by.

Hey, but it's still a lot better than me. I took English in school and still haven't picked it up at all. I think that's a bit of a problem.
