For both tuesday AND wednsday



So i don't really anticipate anyone else enjoying this one as much as i did, but sometimes you've just got to do one for yourself.





So for those not in the Japanese American know, "'Jiichan" is a shorted, affectionate version of "Ojiisan", which is Japanese for "Grandfather". It's basically like "Grandpa" or "Pop-pop" or whatever kiddie name you used to call your grandfather. It's what i called my grandfather, and a part of me thinks it's what i'd liked to be called by my grandchildren.

This is, of course, assuming i ever have children.

Which in turn, is assuming that this economic crisis doesn't spiral out of control, leading to a mad-max style Dystopia in which an academic such as myself has no place, leading to my quick and inevitable demise.

ALSO: in the future, everything floats.

I think your line should have been "who the hell are you!?"
