Just crazy fun... for all, perhaps? Hmmm.

Felt good helping a fellow co-worker with English homework for school; in addition, I've always enjoyed the creative writing assigments. So, I made a bio-poem as well:

Label reads: Leezuhhl.
Born & raised Jersey chick turned Terrapin.
Ridiculously charming, witty, spontaneous, annoyingly congenial, and kind.
Daughter, sister, actress, friend, and avid communicator to all.

At my best when watching a really great movie, after a night out with great company and conquering my latest book discovery.

Needs to indulge habitual sweet tooth cravings, fill the days with laughter, and have moments of music zen. (if even for a few minutes)
Offers a sense a humor only my mother could love, endless hours to those who mean the most to me, and neverending hugs for the hugless.

Fears life is just one long B-rated comedy/horror flick, the idea of being unappreciated, and drowning in a 3 foot kiddie pool because I was never properly taught how to swim.

Longs to travel to London, unpatiently awaits the days of winter's bitter love affair, and bottomless beers during happy hour.



**Random fact of the day**
(And I mean random)

At one time, used panties of Japanese schoolgirls were sold in vending machines in Japan. In Japan in 1993 previously-worn panties were being offered for sale in vending machines. The used underwear had supposedly been worn by schoolgirls and were being sold for the equivalent of US $50 apiece.

Japan is home to a thriving bura-sera industry — of which traffic in the soiled panties of schoolgirls represents only one part — with "bura-sera" being the term for a specific male fascination relating to that country's schoolgirls. "Buru" is anglicized Japanese (Japlish) for "bloomers" and "sera" for "sailor"; the term refers to the sailor suit, the predominant style of girls' junior and high school uniforms. Dozens, if not hundreds, of magazines are exclusively devoted to bura-sera photographs, pictures that feature girls clad in school garb, holding up their skirts to display their panties. Usually in such photos the girls' faces are hidden, but that is not always the case.

There was thus a waiting market for "schoolgirl panties" machines, in that those looking to obtain such items would not have to brave a bura-sera shop to fulfill their desires. These mechanical points of sale appeared in 1993 in Chiba City (Chiba Prefecture), in an area known for its porn magazine and adult video vending machines. Almost immediately, an outcry was raised against them, but there was a problem in getting them removed: Whereas sellers required licences to distribute other types of goods, no such requirement was on the books for soiled underwear, because no one had foreseen the possibility of trade in such an item. These machines existed outside the law in the sense that no specific statute existed that could be invoked to combat them. The solution was as creative as it is odd-sounding — the machines were countered by invoking the Antique Dealings Law, a statute which stipulates that an antique dealer or a dealer in second-hand items must obtain permission from local authorities. Lacking those permissions, the items could not be vended.

In September 1993, three businessmen were charged with selling used panties without a permit under the provenance of this law. The machines were seen no more, ending this phase of Japan's "Vend me your rears!" craze.

--And to think, I thought the machine that sells dvd's & gallons of milk outside of the McDonald's in College Park was cool.-- :)
