alright im waiting for my ride right now and its raining out and they are late, so im going to tell a story.

At one point in my travels, i was living in a hostel type location about four hours way north of Tokyo, Japan - basically up in the mountains in an area called Fukushima-ken. There was nothing to do up there but drink with the locals, which i did plenty of.

One night i came home absolutely bombed on Saki - i was drinking with the local fishermen. They did not speak a word of english, and at the time (i later learned) i did not speak any japanese. It didnt matter, some things are universal when you're drunk, in any language.

I decided to make myself a snack when i came home, and was a little too drunk to realize that the mini toaster oven basically set on fire. I came around the corner to smoke billowing out and i panicked, grabbed the fire extinguisher and put out the blaze. But over there - when you push the button on the extinguisher it keeps going until its completely empty. It was powder - and it was EVERYWHERE.
The entire house was doused in powder, including myself.

Somehow, i didnt get kicked out just yet although they were pretty pissed off at the drunken foreigner who sets fires.

Without a word of a lie the NEXT DAY - the fire marshal is walking out of the house, with the super (both japanese) and they look at me and i dont know what he's saying but i KNOW they are talking about me. He looks at me, and the fire marshal is nodding. While they are doing this im in the kitchen making some fried egg sandwiches, they are looking at me through the window.

Just as i turn the oven on and put the pan on the stove - it catches fire. I guess there was grease in the pan and the whole fcking thing flames up. I panic and toss it in the sink, and put water on it which is exactly what youre not supposed to do with grease fires.

The whole thing happened right in front of them... by the end of the week i was kicked out.

Below is a pic of the night before with the fire extinguisher.

I bet they would have let you stay, if you had told them the bacon story..

JT that was believable and funny.

It reminds me of a funny story I heard in the 70's when my brother, returning from several months in Maui, had gone to surf and to eat he drove a taxi and found an abandoned government building to sleep in. Night after night he began to notice some rustling noises above him. Deciding on firecrackers to oust the vermin, he opened the hatch to the loft and threw up a line of ignited explosives. The next thing he saw was a scantily clad, filthy, bearded Man flying out of the attic and out into the night.

In his eariler motorcycle racing days, incidently, he was number 9.
