I was reminded of the song the moment I saw the first picture above; these Tarakos somehow look quite depserate.) Here’s the translation of the song:

I would jog and I’d start rowing,
Every day you’d see me going to the park and to the gym
I’d go drinking in the pub and every evening I’d go clubbing
If I only had some limbs
I would learn to play the trumpet
‘Cause just sitting on my stump it tends to make my life quite grim
I’m content but I’d be more so if I wasn’t just a torso
If I only had some limbs

Oh I just sit and cry, a quadruple amputee
I just hang around all day and watch TV
But that’s the life of quadriplegics

I’d play cards and I’d play scrabble,
Not just spend my days imagining a life where I had shins
Cos I’ve never had a date, hell I can’t even masturbate
Oh if I only had some limbs

(I’m kidding, this is from ‘Snippets’ by Amateur Transplants.
I was reminded of the song the moment I saw the first
picture above; these Tarakos somehow look quite depserate.)

Harvey,

I don’t know if Kewpie dolls are popular now, but my aunt had a whole bunch of them when I was growing up.
