Mustelids invade South Park!! イタチ科がSPに侵入！

There I was harmlessly watching my suspiciously-legal copy of South Park, episode 1012,
when in the last 10 minutes...
ある日、あるところに何気のないように、法律違反の可能性の高いサウスパークのビデオを見ている間に
最後の十分間に突然。。。

an ARMY of Mustelids!!!
イタチ科の軍隊が出た！！

It's the United Athetists League versus the Allied Atheist Alliance versus the United Atheist Alliance in a godless future as only South Park can do it. ;>
サウスパークらしく、無神の未来に統一無神論者連盟対連合無神論者同盟対統一無神論者同盟の苦戦が始まります。

Oh, I so hope the Otters win.
ラッコが勝つようにね。

Wolverines invade Japan! クズリが日本に侵入！

Well, things are finally starting to settle down here.
And it was looking like I would have time to properly post something, but in turns out that the Kobe Championship Ferret Show is right around the corner! On the 29th of October, no less.
I will be attending, so stay-tuned for the results and goings-on from the JFA in Japan!

Before that though...

On the weekends, Japan TV runs two types of programs-endless golf shows and nature shows.
I turned on my favorite show tonite, "Darwin has Arrived", and I couldn't believe it! Really, what are the odds that anyone would do a show specifically on the ferret's wild and wily cousin, the wolverine. A whole 30 minutes devoted just to them!
Sheer heaven. ;>

Anyway, follow this link below.

They look alot like bears and since it is a straighton shot, I will tell you that the episode you want is #26. It will appear like this 第２６回。 (If you can't read that, just change the encoding choice on your browser to "Japanese, auto-select".)

If you follow the link next to the picture, you get to see a 30sec commericial with hopping wolverines. ;>

The Average Japanese View ~ 日本人の見方

So not only is my living room a ferret exhibition hall filled with pictures, stuffed animals, books, and the Carley Calender; not only do I carry a little ferret (albino) charm on my keychain-an "お守り" if you will, or a "protective" charm- but in my private classroom I keep a picture of my baby boy, Shinsei (新生-nova), in my prep area.

To which I inevitably hear: "A mouse." and "Is it a mouse?"
To which I inevitably respond: "No, he eats mice. :) And rabbits. And chicks. And steak." And then explain how he is related to the "okojo" and like the okojo eats meat not vegetables. I go on with how this was a baby picture of him and he's much bigger now.

I usually have to describe how he looks/his shape too, because they don't seem to be familiar with even what a weasel or otter looks like!

In the end~
the first impression of a ferret is the same everywhere, no matter what country you're in. <3結局、どの国だって、素人にフェレットの最初印象は同じだもんね。
