Geocities. But Geocities lives in Japan because it's so super popular there.

Research suggests Tripod Europe was taken down, though.

Jokes aside, as I'm sure they've done as best a job they can at trying to accurately reproduce the human digestive tract, it really didn't look like poop. People joke that refried beans look like poop, and I guess I'd say that this stuff was halfway in between the two.

Good lord though is that guy anally fixated. The ducks, the mural, ... all of it, really. ^^;

Scary, but I'm not sure he would have died if hit by any of the shots that went through sheet rock.

The window shot, though...

Mindy McCready is dead.

I don't listen to country music, so this normally would have zero impact on me, but in 2010 I read that she had an affair with MLB pitcher Roger Clemens, and that the tape was leaked online. I had to see this because it would have been funny as heck.

I did end up getting an amateur porn of her (from MegaUpload), but it wasn't with Clemens. I've kept it on my PC for two years because it's hilariously narcissistic.

But now...what do I do?? If I watch this thing again, am I a necrophiliac? Oh, I feel so guilty.

Only if knowledge of the fact that she's dead creeps into your brain while you're doing your thing and that then arouses you. Only then would I say that there's any grounds for suspecting necrophilia. Someone who masturbates to a picture of a Hollywood beauty from the 1920s or '30s who is long since dead isn't necessarily a necrophiliac (nor would I expect one to be in 99% of such cases). Someone who masturbates to artwork of a fictional or mythical character who likewise dies by the end of the story or myth that they appear in isn't a necrophiliac necessarily. (Think of all the people who may have masturbated to artwork of characters from Greek mythology.) Even masturbating to a vampire, a ghost, or someone living in the underworld like a demon would not be somebody I'd connect necrophilia to. Necrophilia implies sexual arousal by either 1) the process of dying (e.g. sexual arousal seeing someone choked or shot) or else 2) corpses. At least, that's what I've always taken it to mean. If you were to simply say it means "attraction to the dead," then every single Twilight and Interview with the Vampire fangirl would be a necrophiliac by your definition. And if you defined it even more broadly as "attraction to anyone or anything that has died before the attraction set in," then you'd have to include anyone who enjoys pin-ups of old school models from the '20s, '30s, and '40s.

One of my family's worst nightmares.

I am not kidding. I am so vehemently anti-incest it's not funny. One of the reasons my father married a foreigner is in part because of this, since my grandfather had several sisters who disappeared...and we have no idea where their genes are lurking.

I was encouraged to find a wife in Europe. Instead, I've found one in anime! /jk

(I had to include the "jk" because some people might think I'm serious with my inhibitions released due to this maddening, never-ending noise)

Geez, her answer to the second questioner (the one who asks about "auntie" labels) sure is bitchy!

As for the first scenario, well, you already know my position there.

Is it considered taboo for people with the same surname to date in Japan? I know that it is in Korea.

I get wanting to avoid incest on some level but not wanting to marry an American woman because there's a fractional chance that you might be related seems ridiculous.

I dunno. If we were taught in school that it was, then I don't recall; and I can't recall otherwise ever encountering anything indicating that this is the case. Doesn't mean it's not true though. *shrug* To be perfectly honest, I've never given it much thought even for the United States or Europe. Do people who are both named Jones avoid dating one another? What about Smith? Does the argument go "since we share the same last name, we might be significantly genetically related"? Or does the argument instead go "since the last name that we share is such a common name, the odds of us being related are much, much less than they would be if we shared a more exotic name"? I imagine it would be similar in Japan. We have Smith, Jones, and various names ending in -son, they have Tanaka, Matsumoto, and various names ending or beginning in Miya-.

To perhaps lend some insight to your question though, consider our very own Minami-ke. Natsuki wasn't turned off when he discovered Haruka's family name was also Minami; nor has Hitomi ever seemed to indicate that Natsuki shouldn't pursue Haruka for the reason of genetic relatedness. Minami isn't a common surname, but it certainly isn't a rare surname either; it's not out of the realm of possibility that, for all they know, they're fourth or fifth cousins. But I quite doubt that, and apparently, so too do the characters. (That, or Sakuraba-sensei just doesn't make a big issue of it. Ż3Ż That's possible too. And if so, then go, Sensei! )

Ha, I originally asked that question because I was thinking about exactly that.

I don't think it's a big deal in the West, but Asian culture seems to place more importance on the history of surnames, that they are all part of the same clan if you go far back enough.

I wouldn't date a girl with my mother, aunt, sister or grandmother's first name.

I'm not sure how well that works in Japan though. While I'm not sure how far back either practice goes, I am familiar with at least two common practices when it comes to what family name the children of a married couple get. One practice is the same as in the West: whether the wife/mother keeps her maiden name or not, the children assume the husband's/father's surname. So like, Tanaka(m) x Nakamura(f) begets a lot of little Tanakas. The other is the practice of name fusion wherein the husband and wife each take one root from their own surnames and use them to form a new surname for their children. So for instance, Tanaka(m) x Nakamura(f) begets a lot of little Tamuras. (Contrast: Tanaka from the first scenario vs. Tamura from the second.) Either practice will throw a wrench in the works for you when it comes to daughters/wives, but the second will complicate matters for you even with sons/husbands. A man might be named Miyamoto and that could be because he traces his lineage back to some Miyamoto clan in Shinano province in the 1500s ... or it could be because his parents were Miyagi and Matsumoto respectively so he became Miyamoto.
