Don't Upset the Table

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I was at a big music festival in Osaka called "Larks in the Park" over the weekend. For anyone in Osaka who didn't go, go next year!

There was this Japanese guy there who makes all his money by designing and selling stickers. He is part of this big creative group called Brainside which apparently has like 200 members.

Anyway. This post card, along with other stickers and things had me rolling! They had another one that was 飛び蹴り禁止 (No Drop Kicks allowed). With the caption, "Do not attack anyone without reason." or something like that.

Oh it's rich.

The Japanese says "Cyabudai Gaeshi Kinshi" which means, No Flipping the Table Allowed. Remember that old post about the cyabudai gaeshi game?

Make it your desktop wallpaper.

You don't have a higher res version, do you? I think that does make for a great wallpaper. I enjoyed the rest of the guy's site. A lot of bizarre English, some of it intentional puns, some of it just wrong.

I took the picture of a post card with a digital camera, I don't have a scanner either :-( Want me to mail you a post card? Hehe.
If I can find the guy again. He told me he stays around shinsaibashi in Osaka on the weekends selling his wares.

Postcard- that would be cool!

I can put it next to my スミス建設 sign.

Once again dread deed is done.
Canon sleeps,
his all-knowing eye shaded
to human chance and circumstance.
Peace reigns anew o'er Pine Valley,
but Canon's sleep is troubled.

Beware, scant days past the Ides of July.
Impatient hands wait eagerly
to grasp, to hold
scant moments of time
wrested from life in the full
glory of Canon's power;
held captive by his unblinking eye.

Three golden orbs stand watch;
one each to toll the day, hour, minute
until predestiny decrees his reawakening.
When that feared moment arives,
"Ask not for whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee."
