Here's an old post that I wrote for JD's blog... okay okay, so I'm busy, but at least you get some new stuff to read!!
------
Two things that Japanese kids love are:
1) Janken (rock paper scissors, taken to an unbelievably new heights)
2) Head Bopping
Well, they've finally managed to combine the two into a game of fierce gladitorial combat, and it's called "Tata-ite, Kabu-ite."
Basically you rock paper scissors, and the winner takes a swing, while the loser has to cover their head with both hands. It's a quick game, and the object is to 1) win the Janken, and 2) swing fast and hard so that you can whack the other person before they move into blocking position.
It's hilarous to watch, and even more fun to play. You can see where games like "Street Fighter" and "Tekken" got their inspiration from! My 9th grade girls taught me the game today, and boy those bitches opened up a can of whoop-ass. What a slaughter! Wait'll next week, I'll teach them the "slaps" game from America and then we'll see who's bopping who...

Mike!
Check out my blog from March--I put up a video of, what I think, is what you're talking about: absolutely hysterical!
Hope things are going well--it's hard to read your blog because I definitely miss the life...
ahhhhhhhhhh, mike, thanks to your friend ty for his nice nice comments......... I went to seek out the janken game you were speaking about here, Ty's video tape truly opened my eyes and senses after seeing all the game being fully displayed in his video finalized with a wild swing.........
Thank you very much..........mike, for having such a great friend ty.
Yet, still, mike, what is Amerian "Slaps"? Any leads, perhaps sooner than this janken's insider view? mike??????
