|Welcome my FB Buddy, Daniel, AKA AUGUSTANDJUNE !
This is a Shonen Knife forum, but, we also do J-punk,pop,rock, anime, manga... J-culture in general and we even have "off topic" threads for anything else you might want to put up! I try to keep it informal, very few rules; you can even bump up as many threads as you like...I always thought it was rediculous to make new threads for an old subject as so many other forums force the members to do!

Hell, I registered here almost 2 years ago but plum forgot! 😂
For those who don't know me: My grandmother invented The Spork. My favorite color is Mauve. When pressed hard for money, I walk away. My favorite band is SHONEN KNIFE!
Now let's Rock!

My favorite band is SHONEN KNIFE! Now let's Rock! Howdy, nice to have you! If it's IchibanKnifeFan across the board, then your fame does precede you. Any good stories from the tour just completed? Don't hold back! Topic threads on these boards never age off, they persist while there's electricity. For that reason, it makes more of a difference, and for longer, where you stash stuff. Items specifically about Ramen Adventure will always fit here, for example. Have fun and share what you've got — a novella or a , it's all good.

Hi, I'm SoCalOpus and I'm a Knifeaholic. It's been 8 hours since I last drove around Los Angeles in my convertible, blasting Buttercup or Giant Kitty and singing along, and I'll be doing it again when I leave for work in a little while. People look at me strange, and ask which letter I am from LGBTQ, but I can't help it if I identify as a Shonen Knife Freak. Actually, screw them!!! I AM a Shonen Knife Freak! I like music such as Rush, Triumph, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, ELP, the Beatles, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Anita Mui, Sinatra, Dino, Beethoven, Mozart. I also like this little punk/pop band from Osaka, Japan you guys may have heard of: Shonen Knife. And since I just heard last week that the Beatles broke up, SK is the only band I like still going. Naoko-sama must be the Energizer Bunny. More kawaii tho. I'm 50, married, my 4 yo daughter likes several SK songs like Pop Tune, It's a New Find, Buttercup and Brown Mushroom. She's way smarter than me, so eventually she'll like the entire catalogue. For Halloween this year I think I'll have her go as a Mondrian Kitty. Anyway, enough about me. I joined cuz I heard you guys have super secret pics of the girls in two piece bikinis!!! Share!!!

Your daughter knows her chicken. But I always say, if you like Shonen Knife, then you like all the 100 things that Shonen Knife share with 1000 other bands. I wouldn't be able to view swimsuit photos of SK because I am too inexperienced and anyway, it would just be embarrassing, so I look at pics of them with small animals and delicious foods.

What's the point of pasting on heads if what interests you is all below the neck?

What's the point of pasting on heads if what interests you is all below the neck? As I said, it was a joke card... I think it was part of a conversation that went "For my birthday, I'd like to spend time on a yacht with SK in bikinis" and I made that as his gag gift! (I can't remember WHO I made it for though)

I think it was part of a conversation that went "For my birthday, I'd like to spend time on a yacht with SK in bikinis" and I made that as his gag gift! (I can't remember WHO I made it for though) Gag gifts... some jokes are just not that funny on second look. It doesn't really matter where this went in the first place, I don't think resurrecting it was a great idea. Why put a crudely doctored Sexy Shonen photo in an unrestricted all-ages forum — dedicated to a band women look to for inspiration — when that same photo would get you yanked behind a closed door if you put it on the bulletin board in an office or a public library? 〜〜〜 What does it say about us, that we get a kick out of pasting the faces of women in their 50s onto bodies of women in their 20s? What the hell is Shonen Knife to us here, anyway? Imaginary girlfriends? That would give any celebrity the skin-crawling creeps. You see it all the time, but frankly, that kind of thing has a psycho feel about it. 〜〜〜 Here's a handy test for, "is my post appropriate?" What would happen if you put the same content onto the timeline over at the Shonen Knife Nexus on Facebook where 50,000 people can judge it? What would happen if you tweeted it @shonenknife on twitter? Would Naoko be happy to have you as a follower?

Well, I don't think a gag is anything to be upset over, to each his own, I guess

Well, I don't think a gag is anything to be upset over, to each his own, I guess No, no, way too easy. "Geez, I was only kidding, can't you even take a joke?" is the get out of jail card for every obnoxious cad that wants an escape hatch when his obnoxiousness gets called out. That's not who you want for company. Yeah, it's in the eye of the beholder, but the beholder is *not* you. The beholder is the person who is getting offended. And people *do* get offended over unwelcome references to physical attractiveness. It doesn't have go nearly as far as depicting them in a state of semi-undress. When Donald Trump was introduced to Brigitte Macron during his Bastille Day charm offensive, his brilliant opening was to compliment the First Lady of France on... her looks. His piggish lens for evaluating anything female. Some reacted like, "I don't get what's such a big deal." The majority responded by choking on their coffee. Just open the tweet and look at the comments. Gentleman Donald Trump politely creeps on French first lady Brigitte Macron2017 JUL 13 by Sam Barsanti for A.V. Club Newswire www.avclub.com/article/gentleman-donald-trump-politely-creeps-french-firs-258072 …taking part in an otherwise innocuous photo-op, Trump felt the need to creepily comment on French first lady Brigitte Macron’s body, looking her up and down while telling everyone nearby—including his wife—that she’s “beautiful” and “in such great shape.” What's the matter, I was only complimenting her. It ought to make her day to know that a world-class leader like me says she's doing a good job of keeping herself hot for France.
