Post Shouldn't this forum...
be called "Japanese Toys"?

I have always wondered why it was called "Japan" toys.

"Toys from Japan"... OK

But "Japan Toys"? Just seems weird. Who the heck came up with that?

Alright, I will go back and float down the stream now.

Of course not. Nor do you say "America Toys" (noun/noun) - its "American Toys" (adjective/noun) and "Japanese Toys" (adjective/noun).

And now, class, let's put away our pencils and books. Its time for recess. :lol:

The guy that tells everyone to take a break needs to take some of his own advice. No offense Geo, but can you either make your posts more worthwhile or just stfu already?

"No offense" and "stfu" don't really work very well together.

Same can be said for cuckoos and 'floating down the stream' concepts.

If all you think about is "toys" - get away from them, get away from this forum, and cleanse your mind for a while.

I block geo out so it's always fun to see people's reactions to the insanity I cannot see and never choose to look at in spite of the option.

this one seems like a doozy.

I see what you mean. I just blocked you and it's a lot more interesting.

I kid. I kid! I have never blocked anyone but I'm starting to think about it more lately. :lol:

Y'know, I watched this movie again last night with my girl and it was her very first time seeing it. I'm not sure how you can make your way through the 80's, into your adulthood, without having seen this film. Staggering.

It was cool to see her jump at every turn!
