Japanese Lesson #2: Three Words You Don't Want to Know

These are three particular words you don't want to know, but out of the goodness of my heart and my sheer adoration of my faithful flock, (you all know who you are, and by the way, while I'm at it, Happy Kinenbi! -- that's a Namibian tribal ritual by a little-known and even littler-understood group of impoverished African nomadic herders, all sponsored by Angelina Jolie) I'm going to teach you them anyway.

1. Suzumebachi
2. Kumabachi
3. Gejigeji Mushi

Learn those words, my young Acolytes, all 26 of you. Better yet, learn to fear them.

  2. Thank you, dear! Say hi and warnings to all the chickies! They're getting plumper every day, and maybe you could fortify them with some gorgonzola from time to time!

    All the best holiday stuff.
