My favorite is.....

First Christmas
Stan Rogers, 1979, on Between The Breaks
This day a year ago, he was rolling in the snow
With a younger brother in his father's yard
Christmas break, a time for touching home,
the heart of all he'd known
And leaving was so hard

Three thousand miles away,
now he's working Christmas Day
Making double time for the minding of the store
Well he always said, he'd make it on his own
He's spending Christmas Eve alone
First Christmas away from home

She's standing by the train station,
pan-handling for change
Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
Looks like the Sally Ann place after all,
in a crowded sleeping hall
That echoes like a tomb

But it's warm and clean and free,
and there are worse places to be
At least it means no beating from her Dad
And if she cries because it's Christmas Day
She hopes that it won't show
First Christmas away from home

In the apartment stands a tree,
and it looks so small and bare
Not

My friend is living in Japan, and her street address has the word "Gion 5-17-8" in it. I have looked in every Japanese dictionary for that character, and I can't find it.

I can type her address in Japanese because I have the Japanese IME in MS Word. I put her name in English and enclosed her name in Japanese in parentheses on the same line.

You see, once the letter reaches Japan, her post office will reject the letter and return it to sender if the addressee's mailing address in NOT in Japanese. For some apparent reason, the post office in her town cannot read in English.

What is the character(s) for "Gion"?

And i don't mean figuratively :)

How would your life be like and what would you do with it?


Most creative and detailed answer will get the points be creative and have fun. People who came here to hate or spam will be turned to gold and then used as house decor.


Lets assume that if you touch someone they don't die they just get really shinny (totally aware). You can describe their life too if you want, but hey have fun.

Are men violent by nature? Why do they enjoy hard rock music, wrestling, contact sports, demolition derbys, monster cars, car racing, war games, competative olympics, video violence, war movies, porno, hunting animals etc. While we may not want our sons sitting at home making cream puffs why do they like to fight with each other so much?

I believe it was a Christmas song or a song designed to to send a message about AIDS. I'm NOT sure, and there may actually be TWO songs that fit this description. Whatever the case, they are both beautiful.
