 So Ronery ...
"Love in 2-D"( By LISA KATAYAMA, & from the NYT.)  Quote: Nisan didn’t mean to fall in love with Nemutan. Their first encounter — at a comic-book convention that Nisan’s gaming friends dragged him to in Tokyo — was serendipitous. Nisan was wandering aimlessly around the crowded exhibition hall when he suddenly found himself staring into Nemutan’s bright blue eyes. In the beginning, they were just friends. Then, when Nisan got his driver’s license a few months later, he invited Nemutan for a ride around town in his beat-up Toyota. They went to a beach, not far from the home he shares with his parents in a suburb of Tokyo. It was the first of many road trips they would take together. As they got to know each other, they traveled hundreds of miles west — to Kyoto, Osaka and Nara, sleeping in his car or crashing on friends’ couches to save money. They took touristy pictures under cherry trees, frolicked like children on merry-go-rounds and slurped noodles on street corners. Now, after three years together, they are virtually inseparable. “I’ve experienced so many amazing things because of her,” Nisan told me, rubbing Nemutan’s leg warmly. “She has really changed my life.”She has really changed my life.”
Nemutan doesn’t really have a leg. She’s a stuffed pillowcase ...

 Re: So Ronery ...
This reminds me of the guy that got married to a manikin about a month ago in Hollywood. He takes her everywhere he goes just like this.

 Re: So Ronery ...
I bought you mail order My plain wrapper baby. Your skin is like vinyl The perfect companion. You float my new pool Deluxe and delightful. Inflatable doll, My role is to serve you. Disposable darling, Can´t throw you away now. Immortal and life size, My breath is inside you. I´ll dress you up daily, And keep you till death sighs. Inflatable doll, Lover ungrateful. I blew up your body, But you blew my mind.

 Re: So Ronery ...
This thread leaves me with some unanswered questions...
Is the stuffing natural, or synthetic/poly fiber? Does swiping someone else's pillow = kidnapping? What do you do if you're ever caught with the other pillow? Do pillows ever fantasize about being with each other, instead of being dragged around by ronery guys?

 Re: So Ronery ...
I like the double standard going on with this phenomenon. Toys for women = Liberating Toys for men= you are ronery and need a phychiatrist

 Re: So Ronery ...
If someone had 1 or 2 of those in their car, would they qualify for the car-pool lane?

 Re: So Ronery ...
I like how the modest pillow in the front is covering up with a towel.
Or maybe it is just cleaning up.... O_O
