Post by: French on October 26, 2005, 12:03:23 PM
I came across this story a few months ago, while researching a trip to Japan. I thought it was interesting. Here is the full story.

I good sailing/girl/date movie I think...

Story 1 (http://www.flyingape.com/I%20Salute%20Mr.%20Sakae%20Hata****a.html)
Story 2 (http://zephyrsail.blogspot.com/2005/03/hata****as-voyage.html)
Story 3 (http://zephyrsail.blogspot.com/2005/03/hata****as-voyage.html)


( darn the censor will not let the man's name be posted , because it looks like a bad word ( sh*t ) in english. So even in the link it is stared out  :( .  I can not figure out how to get around the problem or delate the post. So if interested email me, meanwhile I'll figure out something else)

here are the links, copy & paste then replace the *'s with (i) the full slang word for human waste.( sh*t)

You know, I thought the exact same thing. I mean, he *had* done everything he wanted, his wife was gone, so, having sold his business back home and not having any children, not much was waiting for him in Cali. It does make you wonder. :)

Ebb,

Replace the asterix in each URL address with an "i" and they should work. It's just the particular designations in the code against profanity that (in this unique  case) prevent the page from showing.

What an amazing story. It makes me feel that waiting another six months for "perfect" technical preparations are somehow useless and pointless. "If it 'twere now to die, 'twere now to be most happy..."

 :rolleyes:
