Normally this type of behavior is reserved for places like Utah.

Shibuya told reporters Wednesday, "I realize that I can attract women by reciting a charm. Since starting fortune-telling at home, female clients have gathered around me, and now we lead a communal life, just like polygamy."

He also said, "I cannot work because I suffer from gout and panic disorder. The women are earning our living," and added they are planning to go to Hawaii on the weekend.

If only we all knew this charm. :) Wait, is this how Cheapy convinced his wife that he should just stay home and work on the website?

Ah, the old "I didn't threaten her I just told her I had a prophetic dream that said she should join my love circus" defense.Shibuya told reporters Wednesday, "I realize that I can attract women (http://www.crisscross.com/jp/news/) by reciting a charm. Since starting fortune-telling at home, female clients have gathered around me, and now we lead a communal life, just like polygamy."

Anybody who brings up Screamin' Jay Hawkins is a hero, even if it isn't discussing 'Constipation Blues.'

Oh, so just cause a robot wants to kill humans, that makes him a "radical".

OOPS! I mean, just cause a guy has 11 women, that makes it a "cult".

:D

Gee, and here I thought it was because the Japanese government was EXTREMELY Xenophobic and made it very difficult for foreigners to work in Japan. (That is, of course, unless they want to teach english.) I wish to learn of this mojo you have kept secret oh Cheap one! Teach me master! :lol:
