RANDOM SHIT IN AUGUST / SEPTEMBER
kouenji awaodori festival - this is taken in that particular interval after it just finished and people are swarming the streets for a mile in each direction, while cops with loudspeakers shout "go home!" and shopkeepers shout "stay and browse!" 
here is a rule posted in shinjuku gyouen:
below, a restaraunt for i guess drunk hicks?
naturally the mascot is an elephant!
below, more engrish:
i mean, "Jedi" is not Engrish, because there probably IS a "hair salon jedi" in america somewhere, but in america the owner actually is a fan of Star Trek! It's the total lack of context for the name that makes it Engrish.
fuck yeah i said star trek.
ANyway, the graffitti bear below reads, "nelson"
here i am trying to thump my futon with the futon-thumping-broom and this guy was all like "fuck that! I'm lurking here!"
But in all seriousness, here is the BEST SPAM I EVER GOT:
remember, friends, this is unsolicited testimony. TDR worked for mr. Vong, and it can work for you too!
below, random slotmachine tokens stuck in a lane divider in a busy shinjuku street:
below, dude sleeping on my street. Note his poor technique. this is not the way to lead a life.
compare that to THIS guy who has his shit down PAT. note how he is just perfectly fitting in a doorway that he is not even conscious of. he is paying attention to the composition of his artwork, and his shoes and briefcase arranged just so. this is what separates a real ateur of public disgrace from an amateur.
it goes without saying that in my country both of these guys would be dead, tasered or both.
finally, here is a poster in the bathroom of a fast-food restaraunt:
fucking zen in your fucking face, motherfucker!!! you weren't expecting some fucking satori with your beef noodles were you? i didn't think so, bitch!!!!
