Wild Boar Attacks Buddhist Temple

The monks at Mii-dera in Shiga prefecture have often seen wild boars in the forests near their temple, but they were shocked when one descended upon their temple and tear up some shoji wall panels:

They didn’t get any video of it, but the video clip does show some footage of another wild boar incident. As you can see, wild boars can jump with incredible power, especially when they feel trapped or threatened.

It’s not the boars’ fault! Their monkey riders put them up to it!

A whole four paper panels torn. Must be a slow news day.

Old people just sitting on real estate. That’s all it saw.

These places should be taxed out of existence.

“These places should be taxed out of existence.”

What’s your problem with them having a Buddhist temple?

Buddhist Temples are often visited by tour groups which include Western Woman, the arch-nemesis of Charisma Man. That is why he has a problem with temples.

Thanks for the insights Charisma Man… so do tell us, how are those parties of yours coming along? The ones where you charge Japanese more at the door, but then offer a lower rate for “Japanese or Asian women”? Must be doing good, because I see you have yet another one this weekend:

YEESH, somebody hates the old!

“Back before the party. Talked on the phone with the (much) older women. She said she used to be a party organizer. And had gotten out 80 people at 8,000 yen / person before. The warning signs should have gone up after she said that. Only old people pay 8,000 yen for an event. But I didn’t put two and two together until she came up to me at the event. She scamed her way in eventough I hadn’t agree to it. And brought her posse of old complainers in tow. Such a frustrating situation. But she provided the solution. She shouldn’t have mentioned what she charged in her glory days. From now on anyone >=45 years old pays 8,000 yen at the door. I won’t say no. Will just set prices beyond their reach.
F**k ‘em!!!!”

And that was written by the man who poses for “party pictures” in outfits that his mother obviously dressed him in? Ouch.

I suppose I could mention how Charisma Man Dave Faulkmore’s ‘do looks like a marmot crawled on top of his head and died, but that would be gratuitous, so maybe I won’t mention it after all.

Whoops, looks like I already did!
