Kirby Olson বলেছেন...: Marvelous!

The touch of the legs is really nice even if they look like they don't have any bones in them.; ২৬/৯/০৯, ১১:১০ AM
Darcy বলেছেন...: I think it's a little creepy. Is the woman dead? What's going on in that gondola?

Fascinating, though.; ২৬/৯/০৯, ১১:১৩ AM
Balfegor বলেছেন...: Interesting that some of the matchboxes have horizontal text reading right to left, and others (like the one here), reading left to right. I guess the switch must have been occurring in that time frame.; ২৬/৯/০৯, ১১:১৬ AM

We say "gondora."; ২৬/৯/০৯, ১১:১৭ AM

blake বলেছেন...: So, I guess that transliteration process actually includes the lack of "l"s in Japanese?

Gondora = Gondola

Gojira = Godzilla

Howl's (Moving Castle) = Hauru

That's what I was wondering. Shouldn't there be crime scene tape around that gondora?; ২৬/৯/০৯, ৫:৫০ PM
Darcy বলেছেন...: I'm glad someone else sees that, Eric! Or are you teasing? ;-); ২৬/৯/০৯, ৬:০০ PM

Yep. You can see the syllables used here. No L's.; ২৬/৯/০৯, ৯:২২ PM
