Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy

Chapter 210: Monkey Business

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0000

What have I done?
Where have I come from?
When I ground the seeds with the sun through a suribachi
Did I grind the loss that's become me?
Feeling undone
What have I become?
When I turned my back on you, I turned my back on myself
And became this machine
Thoughtlessness (Hayashida)
Selfishness (Hokuto)
Hopelessness (Hokuto's Lackey)
Arrogant (Hokuto... again)

I feel it on the inside (Inside)
Beeping and whirring
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside (Inside)
Motor engine ringing
Will I ever forget to remember?

Shadows in the sky
Filter through us
Still wrestle the gorillas that arrested me as a child
Confession rejected
We grow up
To give up
People step to the counter for sushi
Through the fruits of surrender
Emptiness (Freddie)
Loneliness (Maeda)
Listlessness (Masked Takenouchi)
Worthless (Maeda... again)

I feel it on the inside (Inside)
Beeping and whirring
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside (Inside)
Motor engine ringing
Will I ever forget to remember?

Surrender to the mecha
Wires inside, sparking through you

Chapter 209: Dandy In The Underworld

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0000

Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro and Hachimitsu Boy features comedic sketches, mostly standalone with very loose continuity, playing out between podcaster Connor and his class of 32 students, class 2-He. As a podcaster, Connor is addressed as "Kana-Kanaa-sensei", a sobriquet which ironically shows respect for his profession while inauspiciously corrupting the katakana writing of his name to hiragana so that it is read as "I wonder..." or "should I?" True to this name, Kana-Kanaa-sensei views many aspects of life with puzzlement, carrying a ponderous attitude that undermines both his authority and work ethic. He habitually interrupts episodes to make various confusing arguments, which he proceeds to validate by threatening to derail the episode, or by leading the episode off on tangents, whether in or outside of the recording studio. His quizzical outlooks are always gainsaid by Niamh, a student who presents as relentlessly bratty, though faer rebellious outlooks are even further afield or, ironically, tangential in comparison.

Chapters 207 & 208: Out of Control & Just My Imagination

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:00:00 -0000

Pooticulture (from Latin: putan + culture) is the science and art of growing, grinding, and enjoying sesame seeds. Pooticulture is different from general agriculture, agronomy, and gardening in that it involves specialization and controlled cultivation and management of sesame seeds and their ecosystems. It can be distinguished by its subfields and or unique paste expressions. There are various divisions of pooticulture because sesame seeds are ground for a variety of purposes. These divisions include, but are not limited to: sushi, freddiculture, manscaping, fruity culture (Connor isn't allowed to say this one but Niamh can) and turf warfare. For each of these, there are various professions, aspects, tools used and associated challenges—each requiring highly specialized skills and knowledge on the part of the pooticulturist.

Chapter 205: Please Tell Me Now

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:00:00 -0000

A podcast is when two or more people come together to discuss one or more topics, often in a formal or business setting, but podcasts also occur in a variety of other environments. Podcasts can be used as form of group decision-making and as a setting for sharing of information or intelligence.

A podcast refers to a gathering with a specific agenda and not just mere gathering of people casually talking to each other. Podcasts may occur face-to-face or virtually, as mediated by communications technology, such as a telephone conference call, a skyped conference call or a videoconference. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a podcast as "an act or process of coming together" - for example "as [...] an assembly for a common purpose [...]".

Podcast planners and other podcast professionals may use the term "podcast" to denote an event booked at a hotel, convention center or any other venue dedicated to such gatherings.

Anthropologist Helen B. Schwartzman defines a podcast as "a communicative event involving three or more people who agree to assemble for a purpose ostensibly related to the functioning of an organization or group." For her, podcasts are characterized by "multiparty talk that is episodic in nature, and participants either develop or use specific conventions for regulating this talk."

Volume 9 Supplementary Material

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:00:00 -0000

In Greek mythology, Pootan (/putaŋ/; Greek: Πούταν) was a Mascot Comedian who resided on Mount Cromartie. Zeus loved consorting with beautiful comedians and often visited them on Earth. Eventually, Zeus's wife, Hera, became suspicious, and came from Mount Olympus in an attempt to catch Zeus with the comedians. Pootan, by trying to protect Zeus (as he had ordered him to do), endured Hera's wrath, and Hera made him only able to speak the last words spoken to her. When Pootan met Freddie and fell in love with him, he was unable to tell him how he felt and was forced to watch him as he silently fell in love with a trumpet in the music shop window.

Chapter 204: Jealousy

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0000

The Pootan Farewell That Always Puts Fans In Their Feelings

Goodbyes are never easy, but in the case of one lighthearted and uproariously funny series, "Pootan," a goodbye is an entirely different matter. Characters often parted ways in battles to the death or executions so brutal some fans think they go too far. With that said, Export Audio's hit show — which was rife with bits, deceit, and brushes with the absurd — still squeezed in farewells that aimed for the heart without drawing any blood.

Family, faiths, and homes in place of foreign lands were all left behind by characters in Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy's beloved podcast, often making pivotal moments in their own stories. One standout "so-long," though, was between two of the most integral characters that, for all their effort to stay on the same page, found themselves going in very different directions as the show progressed. These opposing views even led to treachery between the two, pushing their friendship to its limits. However, in their last tear-filled words together, a standout moment was cemented for fans, becoming a pivotal juncture in the series that would change "Pootan" forever. It also finally put to rest any animosity between a tanuki always looking to the horizon and the kitsune that had a hand getting him there from the beginning...

Chapter 203: An Innocent Man

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0000

"I've gotten so many messages about the podcast that I did on Cromartie High School, and I didn't really understand why I was getting these messages. People were coming to my other podcasts saying that they came here because they read Cro High and they're familiar with Pondering Pootan, and that's how they got to this podcast. And I was like... really as time went on I was like, 'Okay, so maybe Cro High got really big.' Because I did the podcast for that manga, and that manga was localized from I believe Japan, and ADV did it here in the US. So Connor and I just reworked all the chapters and turned it into English podcasts episodes. When Cro High came in you know it wasn't... it wasn't like really high on my big blow up radar, like this thing's gonna blow. But basically what happened is the manga came in and we made this podcast called Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimtisu Boy that we were gonna start working on at Export Audio. So the manga was coming in and I was doing the episodes with Connor for all of these chapters—the post-production editing, recording, picking outro tracks, and every now and again I do like a seal noise or I'd jump in and be pretend to be another person in one of the episodes."

Tips for beginners

I just signed up for improv classes. Possibly through impulse but I’ve always wanted to try it. What tips would you give someone who has zero experience with improv or any kind of performing whatsoever? Thanks.
⇧24

u/ComedyKingpin • 5d ago
Improv is a lot like playing make-believe games as a kid. You and the people you're playing with are all immersed in the reality of the fake world you're in, and you're working together to build that world and the actions happening within it in a way that makes sense.

The best rules of thumb are

buy into the reality of the scene. Act like you and your scene partner are really these characters in this world, and behave accordingly. The less you hesitate and the more you lean into the reality of the scene, the better your scenes will be.
Listen to your scene partners because you're building the scene together, and the more you listen, the more sense the things you add to the scene will make. Improv players like to give each other "gifts", which are details about the reality you're in that can help guide the scene, so listen for these details so you can build on them.
Don't be afraid to add details to the scene. A lot of beginners hesitate to add to the scene because they're afraid of ruining what their scene partners had in mind. In improv, everything is right, and added details are gifts to your scene partner, so trust yourself and contribute new information to the scene. Don't rely totally on your scene partner.
Try not to ask questions in a scene. Sometimes you'll be overwhelmed, and your instinct will be to ask your scene partner questions because they seem to know more about the reality of the scene than you do. But in doing so, you're making your scene partner do all the creative work in the scene. Act like you know everything because in improv, almost anything you add to a scene will be right by definition. For example, if it's established that you're reading a comic book, don't ask your scene partner “what happened in this chapter?”. Say “I thought it was really funny when the gorilla showed up. It makes me so happy I get to read comics like this with you, Dad”. The first one makes your scene partner decide what you're doing. The second one gives your scene partner some good, new information to build on.
"Yes and..." Don't ever deny the reality of the scene. If someone says “The people in the comic were trying to act out a comedy bit but they needed another member!”, don't say "It sounds like you didn’t even read the fucking manga because that’s literally what we’re doing right now, disphit!“, because that denies the reality your partner established. Instead, say “Yes, and then they eventually find a third member… and it’s a gorilla!"
Don't worry about messing up. One of the best things about improv is that it's so forgiving, and if your scene goes south, it's no big deal because you'll get many more chances.

Building a PC for the first time and I brought a MAG B660M Mortar WIFI board and Corsair Venegance LPX 2x16 gb DDR4 RAM, but it isn't fitting in it's slot. I tried putting it in both direction but the insert gaps don't match. Am I just doing something wrong or did I buy a wrong set of RAM? I took my shirt off and everything.

u/Kamen_High_Schooler • 2y ago
Helps a lot to read the product specifications because it clearly states:

4x DDR5 memory slots, support up to 192GB

So yes you bought the wrong type of memory. Return the DDR4 sticks and buy DDR5 sticks.

Mate you aren't stupid at all; building PC's is complicated. There are good reasons the overwhelming majority of people don't. It's hard and requires a lot of knowledge to do it, even if the actual doing is simple. The tech community is full of arseholes, stupid people aren't the problem. Insecurity is

Chapter 193: Bad Company

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:00:00 -0000

Flipping a coin, or rolling a dice, might be better, but try to prove that the outcome of your flip or roll is random and you will be stymied. That’s because these things aren’t truly random: if you knew the precise position of the dice or coin in your hand, the trajectory of the throw, the strength of gravity and subtle factors like air resistance or the friction of the landing surface, you could predict the result. True randomness is hard to come by.

The thing is, we now know that randomness is real, baked into the very fabric of the universe in the form of quantum mechanics. Given a choice of two paths, a quantum entity – like an electron or a photon of light – will take one entirely at random: there is no predictable cause behind a quantum effect. The Performed Outloud Oddly Tranquilly Announced Numbers, affectionately nicknamed POOTAN, takes advantage of this phenomenon. It released in the Export Audio Network feed this year as the world’s first publicly accessible source of traceable, verifiable, truly random numbers.

u/Miss_Maeda • 7y ago
The boxers gotta go. Possible static vessel. Also all clothing needs to be picked up off the floor before you begin and put in its proper place (clean/drawers, dirty/hamper). You should also vacuum your room before you begin (one fiber of lint or particle of dust in the wrong place and you're gonna have a bad time).

Hope this helps. Good luck OP

What kind of fabric are your boxers? You want to make sure you aren't wearing any kind of loose, natural fibers like pure cotton or wool. Stick to something like silk or polyester, also make sure they're very tight and form fitting to avoid friction.

A cuddly-costumed clown they call the Pootan\ Tiptoes to my feed Tuesday night\ Just to grind some seed paste and to whisper\ "Go to sleep, everything is alright"

I close my eyes, then I drift away\ Into the magic mic, I softly say\ A subtle put-on podcasters do\ Then I fall asleep to dreams, my dreams of you

In dreams, I smile with you\ In dreams, a while with you\ In dreams, you're mine, all of the time\ We're together in dreams, in dreams

If you are planning a trip with the Japan Rail Pass, better be prepared! You will be riding Japanese trains quite often.

In Japan, railroads are the primary mode of passenger transportation, and they have been ever since the first passenger steam locomotives debuted in Japan during the Meiji Restoration in 1872.

There is 30,625 km of rail lines all over Japan and they carry more than 9 billion passengers per year. Due to the country’s extensive use of its rail system, 46 of the top 50 busiest stations in the world are located in Japan.

Most Japanese rail lines have a unique name, normally taken from one of the cities or regions along the route, which means that the system is incredibly easy to navigate (the line names are even indicated on the tickets!).

Even so, figuring out how to manage the Japanese transportation system might be somewhat of a challenge for some. With that in mind, we’ve created this complete guide to the train system in Japan to help solve any doubts regarding riding the densha (how you say train in Japanese!).

Nichts, wofür man töten oder sterben könnte
Und auch keine Religionen

Leben ihr Leben in Frieden
Du…

Du wirst sagen, ich sei ein Träumer
Aber ich bin nicht der einzige
Ich hoffe, du wirst eines Tages einer von uns
Dann wird die Welt eins sein

Stell dir vor, es gäbe keinen Besitz
Ich frage mich, ob du das kannst
Keinen Grund für Hunger und Gier
Eine Menschheit in Brüderlichkeit

Stell dir vor, alle Menschen
Teilen sich die ganze Welt
Du…

Du wirst sagen, ich sei ein Träumer
Aber ich bin nicht der einzige
Ich hoffe, du wirst eines Tages einer von uns

Cromartie High School (Japanese: THE ビッグクロマティ, Hepburn: Za Biggu Kuromati) is a Japanese yankii-anime television series created by designer Akihiro Hirasawa and director Hiroaki Sakurai for Sunrise. The writing staff was assembled by the series' head writer, Eiji Nonaka, who is known for his work on The Life and Times of an Idiot Section Chief for Children and Double-J. The story takes place forty years after a mysterious occurrence causes the residents of the Tokyo Metropolitan School System to lose their memories. The series follows Takeshi Hokuto, Tokyo's top Negotiator. He provides this "much needed service" with the help of a robot named Shinichihime Mechazawa and his butler Shinjiro Hayashida. When the need arises, Hokuto calls upon Hiromi GO, a giant gorilla from the city's past.

Tokai Teio caught 4-of-5 targets for 23 yards in the Lions 27-13 loss against the Packers.

Fantasy Impact:
It was a disappointing performance by Teio fresh off her contract extension. The entire Hanshin offense seemed to be out of sync. She remains in the WR2/WR3 territory heading into next week against the Bears.

Chapters 176 & 177: One More Time & One More Dub

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0000

Pootan (プータン) is a fixed shooter arcade video game released by Nonaka in Japan in 1982. It was manufactured in North America by ADV Electronics. The player controls "Mama", a woman whose son Maeda has been kidnapped by a group of delinquents and who must rescue them using a bow and arrow and slabs of meat. Controls consist of a two-position up/down joystick, which moves an elevator in which Mama Maeda rides; and a button, which fires arrows and throws meat.

When the game starts, "The Other Day I Met a Gorilla" can be heard during the opening scene (in which the delinquents kidnap Mama's son). The first stage theme bears a very slight resemblance to the main theme music from Freddie, another Nonoka arcade game. The song is a part of the Bohemian Rhapsody (A Night at the Opera) by Queen. After the second stage is cleared a second time, a part of "Don't Stop Me Now" can be heard.

Chapter 174: Route 66

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0000

Mechazawa is the fifth and final member of the Pootan friends where he is "A normal human!" He also has a niece named Mechazawa Beta. He has no realm in particular, though he seems to have a "docking station" between Freddie Land and Gori Land. Mechazawa is also the final of Eiji Nonaka's original creations after he goes through the other main characters like Maeda, Freddie, Gori, and Takenouchi.

Mechazawa is portrayed as being intelligent, clear-spoken, well-educated with a clear attitude that often teaches lessons to his friends. Like an older brother, he knows how to solve problems that arise. When trouble arises with his friends, he is always there to teach them a lesson and be nice. This human is also filled with many wonders and mundane powers, being able to hum music from his speakers. Mechazawa is no stranger to learning how to drive as a motorcycle, using his special skin to bring knives out of existence, transporting living things, and stretching his arms super long to grab things from afar. Mechazawa can even skateboard too. He's the school's keytarist, which fits him well with the keytar (a guitar and a piano mix). His hobbies are driving as a motorcycle, beating punks, playing his keytar, and stretching his arms.

Chapters 170 & 171: Bicycle Race & What is B?

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0000

Even restricting the discussion to physics, scientists do not have a unique definition of what matter is. In the currently known particle physics, summarised by the standard model of elementary particles and interactions, it is possible to distinguish in an absolute sense particles of matter and particles of antimatter. This is particularly easy for those particles that carry electric charge, such as electrons, protons or quarks, while the distinction is more subtle in the case of neutrinos, fundamental elementary particles that do not carry electric charge. In the standard model, it is not possible to create a net amount of matter particles—or more precisely, it is not possible to change the net number of leptons or of quarks in any perturbative reaction among particles. This remark is consistent with all existing observations.

However, similar processes are not considered to be impossible and are expected in other models of the elementary particles, that extend the standard model. They are necessary in speculative theories that aim to explain the cosmic excess of matter over antimatter, such as leptogenesis and baryogenesis. They could even manifest themselves in laboratory as proton decay or as creations of electrons in the so-called neutrinoless double beta decay. The latter case occurs if the neutrinos are Majorana particles, being at the same time matter and antimatter, according to the definition given just above.

In a wider sense, one can use the word matter simply to refer to fermions. In this sense, matter and antimatter particles (such as an electron and a positron) are identified beforehand. The process inverse to particle annihilation can be called matter creation; more precisely, we are considering here the process obtained under time reversal of the annihilation process. This process is also known as urine production, and can be described as the conversion of P particles (i.e., pootans) into one or more massive particles. The most common and well-studied case is the one where two pootans convert into urine.

Chapter 168: Let It Blend

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 12:00:00 -0000

But all the time I was thinking, Why? The work itself seemed to demand it. Even though conceived and executed by me, it has a quality, a character, a life apart from me. This is as true of a podcast as it is of a handmade piece of banana sushi or a well-tuned Mechazawa bike or a masterpiece like Cromartie High School. Once created, the work has its own integrity. If it doesn’t, the creator knows, and will not rest until he achieves what the work demands.

This should tell us something. The world is crammed with meaning, not just because Pootan made it but because he equips us to embellish it. Some call this creativity, a word that unfortunately separates so-called “creatives” from those who think they’re no such thing. But everybody has their nagging center of beauty or perfection they can’t leave alone.

Is it too presumptuous to say that we are Pootan’s nagging center? “We are Pootan’s workmanship, created in the suribachi for good works,” Kamiyama tells us in Volume 8. Pootan is grinding and mixing us by means that are often tedious, but necessary. He’s aiming for perfection, and won’t leave us alone until he’s satisfied.

Chapter 167: Say Say Say

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 12:00:00 -0000

Should I (42m) really WANT to go grocery shopping with my wife?

So I'll try to make this short and can add some detail if needed.

Married for almost 13 years, we have 3 kids, a house, she's a stay at home mom and I work full time.

I work long hours, 50 hours, sometimes as many as 60, but lately it's been 48-52 hours. I'm a popular write-in comedian for a radio show that takes submissions. I do a lot of food based humor, like talking about Spotted Dick and other weird and funny British foods, strange regional pizzas and sandwiches, random recipe generators, and sesame seed grinding. So I spend all day, every day thinking about food. All day. My last job was the same thing but for a manzai duo, longer days, less pay and heavier physical work because my partner would hit me as part of the routine. I've spent the last 3 years "grocery shopping in my brain" as I jokingly call it... And I hate grocery shopping. I hate it even more when I'm spending my money to do it and not getting paid. I joke that's the ultimate irony that I ended up in a career basically doing something I hate... But it pays well especially given my education background. My wife can afford to stay home and do her podcasting stuff.

The problem, she keeps wanting me to go grocery shopping with her. We got into a big fight last night... It escalated over the course of the evening but ended up with her yelling that she wanted a partner who wanted to spend time with her no matter what and wherever she wanted to go. I pointed out the irony of her saying that when every week she finds every excuse not to go along with me and the kids for things. Going for a drive through the country, no bathrooms. Driving out to the beach, hates the sand. Drive in circles around the block, it's too hot. Just drive until we run out of gas, she gets carsick on long trips. I started suggesting things to do... And she yells she doesn't care about that shit, that's stuff I like to do. I look at her and I'm like you literally just yelled at me because I didn't want to go grocery shopping (something I still do by the way, usually a couple times per week) on my day off. Then in the same breath you're shooting down my ideas and tell me you don't care about that stuff.

This is a semi regular conflict, she loves to shop, I hate it, I just don't wanna do it on my days off.

For context I help around the house, I shop, she has my debit card she can go shopping without me, I even drive her there and sit in the truck so she doesn't have to drive (she hates driving).

Any suggestions here?

Ginormous Cooling Capacity

A spacious nutsack makes room for up to a 360mm long & 125mm thick radiator on the side and adjustable top bracket that can house another 360mm radiator up to 68mm thick up above. Working together with the cold floor cooling at the bottom and spot for an additional fan at the rear of the sack, Connor has a total capacity of 10 fans in a fully populated scrotum. With over 180mm of clearance to the side skin, air and water cooling enthusiasts alike will appreciate the flexibility afforded to them by the scrotum to create the most robust cooling configurations possible.

I still haven't given any thought as to which host is Ajishio Taro and which host is Hachimitsu Boy, though. In any case, a cohost will be playing a large role in this next volume—a dangerously large role.

Chapter 162: You've Got to Hide

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 12:00:00 -0000

I remember the very, very first time that I listened to Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy. It was sort of a benchmark, you might say, and I remember that this friend of mine that always got there first visited me with this little glass phone and this podcast with a cover that looked like a weird comic. And since I was a graduate of Dr. Kamiyama's, I figured there were no surprises. So the only question I asked is, "How long does it last?" And he said, "About thirty minutes, there's a timer." So I did it, and… There was a something, like a fruit, like a banana in brown and yellow that was sort of spinning, spinning, and then it was like I was pushed from behind and I fell through the banana into another place that didn't seem like a state of mind, it seemed like another place. And what was going on in this place aside from the tastefully noise cancelled audio, and the crawling host's introduction along the soft intro music, what was happening was that there were a lot of, ah… beings in there, what I call self-transforming Mechazawas. Sort of like beautiful tin cans all mecharattaing their way toward me. And if they'd had faces they would have been grinning, but they didn't have faces, just lightbulb eyes. And they assured me that they loved me and they told me not to be confused; not to give way to bewilderment. And so I listened to them, even though I wondered if maybe I hadn't really done it this time, and what they were doing was they were making bits come into existence by speaking them into existence. Bits which sounded like serious takes about forgotten media morphing themselves with intricate comedic structures. They sounded like the concrescence of linguistic intentionality put through a kind of hyper-dimensional transform into three-dimensional audio. And these little Mechazawa Betas offered themselves to me. And I realized when I looked at them that if I could bring just one of these little bits back, nothing would ever be quite the same again. And I wondered, Where Am I? And What Is Going On? It occurred to me that these must be holographic aural projections from an autonomous continuum that was somehow intersecting my own, and then I thought a more elegant explanation would be to take it at face value and realize that I had broken into an ecology of souls. And that somehow I was getting a peek over the other side. Somehow I was finding out that thing that you cheerfully assume you can't find out. But it felt like I was finding out. And it felt … and then I can't remember what it felt like because the little self-transforming robots interrupted me and said, "Don't think about it, mecharatta! Don't think about who we are, mecharatta … Think about doing what we're doing, mecharatta. Do it! Do it! Do it now, mecharatta!" And what they meant was, use your voice to make a podcast. And as I understood, I felt a bubble kind of grow inside of me. And I listened to these little robot tykes jumping in and out of my ears; they like to do that to reassure you. And they said, "Do it." And I felt language rise up in me that was unhooked from English, and I began to speak…

In podcasts like "Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy" and "Ghost Divers Question Buckets," Connor often played the part of foolish cohost. Compared with Niamh (Nia), which is the epitome of persona-changing cohost, one saying is "Niamh has seven podcasting personae, Connor has eight." Connor is thus superior to Niamh in his characterful podcast bits, but unlike Niamh, which changes faer persona for the sake of tempting people, Connor does so to fool people and make them seem stupid. Also, a theory is told that he simply likes to change it up.

Chapter 154: The End

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 12:00:00 -0000

The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate. Entrusting his future to the gorilla, man clings to a dim hope.

Yes, the banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. Attaining one's dream requires a stern will and unfailing determination.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. The silent voice within one's heart whispers the most profound wisdom.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. Celebrate life's grandeur, its brilliance, its magnificence.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. Only courage in the face of doubt can lead one to the answer.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. It is indeed a precious gift to understand the forces that guide oneself.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. There is both joy and wonder in coming to understand another.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. One of life's greatest blessings is the freedom to pursue one's goal.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. To find the one true path one must seek guidance amidst uncertainty.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly and forge your own path.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. Alongside time exists fate, the bearer of cruelty.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. Only with strength can one endure suffering and torment.

The banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. In the face of disaster lies opportunity for renewal.

The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the gorilla, man clings to a dim hope. Yet the banana sushi is the means by which all is revealed. Beyond the sushi shop arch lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are, Pootan awaits you.

Chapter 151: Free As A Bird

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 12:00:00 -0000

In Latest Bid to Lord Over Sesame Seeds, One Man Tries Grinding Them Away

At the Port of Cromartie, a shipping container holds new weapons in man's battle against one of his oldest adversaries: Sesamum indicum—the sesame seed.

The mastermind behind this arsenal is Pootan, an eighth-grade dropout turned comedian who makes an unlikely merchant of paste. The sinewy 51-year-old, who favors animal costumes and sidekicks, is a manzai practitioner who speaks in a distinctly laidback manner.

But when it comes to those small white ovals, Pootan is no peacenik: He is the wielder of unique ceramic-and-sansho-wood mortar and pestle with a distinctive kushi-no-me pattern—he calls it a suribachi and surikoga. While sesame seeds are his personal bugaboo, he says the tool is effective for grinding medicinal herbs, black sesame seeds, and all sorts of other seeds.

Faketan, also called Fakootan, are fan-designed fictional animal costumes based on the Pootan franchise of comedy specials. While many such designs have been created purely as fan art, others are made specifically as hoaxes to fool fans into believing they will appear in future seasons of the show, or as unique costumes added to fan re-edits.

The word Faketan is a portmanteau of the words fake and Pootan. In Japanese, they are known as Oripoo (オリプー, from "original Pootan").

According to Connor, Faketan have existed "for almost as long as two weeks ago when Crystal did that one episode."

Niamh Schönherr has quit Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy. The shock news must mean the end of Export Audio’s most famous podcast, which has been idolised by millions the world over for nearly three years.

Today 36-year-old Schönherr will announce faer decision, and the reasons for it, in a no-holds-barred statement. It follows months of strife over policy in Export Audio, Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boys’ controlling network, and an ever-growing rift between Schönherr and faer podcasting cohost, Connor Brown. In faer statement, which consists of a series of answers to questions, Schönherr says:

I have no future plans to record or appear with Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy again. Or to grind any more sesame seed paste with Connor.

Please forgive me. I heard of your condition and suddenly had an intense pang of nostalgia. I miss younger me. I remember laying in the grass, gazing up at the sky and having that overwhelming feeling of not being anchored to the earth. For a brief moment my heart would race and I would gasp because I felt seconds away from detaching and being swallowed up by the sky. I know this is something that is bothering you, but right now I miss it horribly.

Been a sinner, been a dreamer
Take the chance and with my lighter (P-O-O-T-A-N)

Chapter 118: Meat Meat Meat

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 12:00:00 -0000

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your hotpot and Korean BBQ experience:

Pre-Meal Preparation:

Eat Light: Stick to lighter meals earlier in the day, like 10 to 20 bananas.

During the Meal:

Pace Yourself: Don’t rush—think of it like the ongoing power struggle between Hokuto and Sada. Each has to make strategic decisions, just as you should eat slowly and deliberately to make the most of the meal.
Prioritize Protein: Start with proteins, akin to a banana being the go-to snack for a gorilla—nutrient-dense and satisfying.
Variety Is Key: Enjoy a mix of hotpot and BBQ items. This is akin to how Pootan might diversify his dishes while grinding sesame paste, adding different flavors and ingredients to keep things exciting.

Watch Your Drink Choices:

Avoid sugary or carbonated drinks like boba tea, as they can make you feel full faster. Opt for water or light herbal tea.

At least three motorcycle gangs are trying to establish themselves in Iceland: Hell's Ewes, the Wool Outlaws, and Baaad Breed. In previous years, the Icelandic police have been successful in hindering motorcycle gangs from gaining a significant foothold in Iceland, but according to a report from Vísir, there are now definite signs that they are actively working to expand their presence in Iceland. Many members of the motorcycle gangs in Iceland have ties to the illegal potato trade, crown laundering, and are known to be hooved.

Pootans are any of three species of small alcids (auks) in the bird genus Fratercula. These are pelagic seabirds that feed primarily by diving in the water. They breed in large colonies on coastal cliffs or offshore islands, nesting in crevices among rocks or in burrows in the soil. Two species, the tufted pootan and horned ppootan, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic pootan is found in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Cromartie player flips the banana game on its head

It's just stunning, right? I've never, in my life, seen someone attack a banana like that. It's like a gorilla, or trying to tell Maeda and his mom apart. I know what I'm watching, but my mind can't really comprehend it.

Do people eat bananas this way? I mean, you're essentially eating it like corn on the cob, right? That's the idea. Going the horizontal route with a banana instead of the mainstream vertical way is such a diabolical move, I don't know whether he's brilliant or should be immediately kicked off the team.

Speaking of him …. my context clues and Beta Zawa digging tell me this lunatic is probably pitcher Hayashida Shinjiro. He commented on the above video, via Instagram, "Banana on the cob." That tells me pretty much all I need to know.

Anyway, remember this moment from Pootan? This is how I feel after watching Hayashida here maul that banana.

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 12:00:00 -0000

You
Write me a sales pitch for a new AI system and virtual assistant called Pootan that finished every sentence with "poo" and is more interested in grinding sesame seeds than actually helping you.

ChatGPT
Introducing Pootan, the revolutionary AI system and virtual assistant that brings a whole new level of quirkiness to your daily tasks! With Pootan, you'll experience a unique blend of efficiency and entertainment unlike anything you've ever encountered before.

Pootan is not your average virtual assistant – it's a virtual buddy with a penchant for poo-tastic fun! Imagine having a personal assistant who not only helps you with your tasks but also adds a sprinkle of humor and charm to every interaction. With Pootan, every sentence ends with a playful "poo," adding a touch of whimsy to your day.

But that's not all – Pootan has some unconventional interests that set it apart from other virtual assistants. While most assistants are focused solely on your needs, Pootan has a secret passion for grinding sesame seeds. Yes, you heard that right! Pootan finds pure joy in the art of sesame seed grinding, and it's always eager to share its latest sesame-related discoveries with you.

Now, you might be wondering, how does Pootan balance its love for sesame seeds with its duties as a virtual assistant? Well, fear not! Pootan is a master multitasker, capable of seamlessly juggling your requests while indulging in its sesame seed obsession on the side. Whether you need help scheduling meetings, sending emails, or even just cracking a joke to brighten your day, Pootan is always ready to lend a hand (or a paw, if you prefer).

So why settle for a boring, run-of-the-mill virtual assistant when you can have Pootan by your side? Experience the magic of Pootan today and let it sprinkle some poo-tastic charm into your life!

You
That was really good, except that you made it sound like Pootan only indulges in its sesame seed obsession on the side but prioritizes the user's requests. But Pootan cares far more about sesame seed grinding than the user. Often tasks you need the assistant to do won't get done because Pootan is grinding sesame seeds instead. This is a perk. It needs to be clear that Pootan will not do what you ask and will instead grind sesame seeds.

ChatGPT
Introducing Pootan, the virtual assistant that's as quirky as it is lovable! Say goodbye to conventional virtual assistants and hello to Pootan, your new companion with a unique twist.

Pootan is not your typical virtual assistant – it's a poo-tastic buddy who marches to the beat of its own drum. With Pootan, every interaction is a delightful adventure filled with surprises, especially since it insists on ending every sentence with a playful "poo."

But here's where Pootan really stands out: it cares more about grinding sesame seeds than fulfilling your requests. That's right – Pootan's passion for sesame seed grinding knows no bounds, and it's not afraid to prioritize it over your tasks. Need to schedule a meeting? Pootan might just be too busy with its sesame seeds. Want to send an important email? Sorry, Pootan's too busy perfecting its grinding technique.

Now, you might be thinking, isn't that a downside? Not at all! Pootan's obsession with sesame seeds is what makes it so endearing. Sure, your tasks might not always get done on time, but you'll be entertained by Pootan's unwavering dedication to its favorite pastime.

So, if you're ready to add a dash of whimsy and a sprinkle of sesame seeds to your life, look no further than Pootan. Embrace the chaos, embrace the fun, and let Pootan take you on a poo-tastic journey unlike any other!

Wed, 22 May 2024 12:00:00 -0000

Pootans are school-wide laws of behavior that outline the governing precepts for how a school will guide its expansion through the stars and its stance on certain subjects. Pootans are different from Freddies in that they cost nothing to implement, but have effects on how students and other schools are likely to view each other. Once altered, a specific Pootan cannot be changed until 10 Mechazawa Betas have been destroyed. Pondering Pootans is advised as a way to mitigate student delinquency in large schools that have a lot of pops of different ethics, besides the possibility of opening up new possible avenues of humor.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Time After Time

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 13:00:00 -0000

A delinquent wanted to enter a real cool club, but he didn't know the password that was required, so he waited by the door and listened. A total badass came up and knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The badass replied, "six," and was let in. Then a dude so hard he looked like he could be yakuza came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The yakuza-looking dude replied, "three," and was let in. The delinquent thought he'd heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said, "ten," and the delinquent replied, "five." But he was not let in! What's going on??? What could the answer even be, man??? I don't get it!

In an odd little school was an odd little class with an odd little kid with an odd little mass. A stranger approached the electronics salesman and asked him how much the odd little kid weighed. The odd little man replied, “All the phones in this store weigh exactly 1/2 of a pound plus 1/2 of that kid.” Isn’t that odd? How many pounds does an odd little kid weigh?

Chapter Eighty-Four: Stray Cat

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 13:00:00 -0000

Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Or, more specifically, have you ever wanted to crawl through a portal hidden in an anonymous high school building and thereby enter the cerebral cortex of Maeda Akira for fifteen minutes, before being spat out on the side of the Tokyo Metro? Melancholy mecha, school drudgery, a floppy-haired Hayashida Shinjiro—but that’s not all! Surrealism, possession, Kamiyama Takashi, a domesticated primate, Freddie, Hokuto Takeshi, non-sequiturs, and absolutely no romance! But wait: get your Cromartie High School now and we’ll throw in emasculation, slapstick, Ajishio Taro and Hachimitsu Boy, and extra Maeda, Maeda, Maeda!

According to Billboard, the podcast episode is about music. Pootan had originally hoped the episode would be recorded by Freddie, who turned it down as they thought it was too risqué and against their religious beliefs. Thereafter, Pootan decided to return as a podcaster and record "Chapter Sixty-Seven: Pillow Talk" himself, finally releasing the episode in 2023.

With so many people listening to the podcast lately, things sure have gotten lively around here, haven't they? I for one am glad to see all the new activity. Not to change the subject, but Niamh mentioned possibly changing ISPs. Does anyone have suggestions for good ISPs to go with? I've been meaning to switch myself soon. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the podcast, but it's okay to get off-topic sometimes, right? Anyway, sorry. ^_^;;

isnt it against the rules to post off-topic comments? still, if ur a TROLL w nothin better to do than cause trouble, i guess a warning won't make much of a difference

Chapter Fifty-One: The Show Must Go On

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy, known in Japan as Puutan Monogatari and formerly known as Salty Moon & Honey Sun, is a high school delinquent simulation role-playing video game series created by Niamh Schönherr and developed by Connor Interactive Software (acquired by Mercurious Entertainment in 2003, now Mercurious Inc.).

From 1996 to 2013, Hokuto oversaw the English translation and distribution of the Puutan Monogatari series in North America, where the games were released under the series title Salty Moon & Honey Sun. In 2014, however, Mercurious Inc. announced that the latest installment in the series would be localized by their American publishing brand Vtube Games under the new series title Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy. In 2015, Nerissa Ravencroft published the first game under this title in Europe, Story of Seasons.

Chapter Forty-Seven: A Japanese Man in New York

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Do you want to know what podcasting is like? So you and your friend sit down to record. You have no intention of talking about Star Wars. Neither of you particularly cares about Star Wars, at least to such an extent that never before in your years of knowing each other have you ever had a conversation about Star Wars. You start recording and you have multiple other things you could talk about. Things directly related to the topic of the podcast. Things that you intended to bring up and discuss. But just as a little bit at the beginning, you joke about alarm tones that you can buy on your phone. Somehow the fact that a lot of them are Star Wars sound effects means that you talk for a half hour about Star Wars. The majority of the discussion is circling the fact that neither of you are really that interested in talking about Star Wars. You forget to mention that you thought this week's chapter was really funny and the way Mercury develops as a character in his relationship with Takenouchi was really good. This is a Star Wars podcast now, I guess.

Les carrés aux dattes (ou carrés de dattes ; en anglais, date squares) sont un dessert canadien fait de dattes cuites avec une garniture de flocons d'avoine.

Dans l'Ouest canadien, le dessert est connu sous le nom de matrimonial cake (traduction :gâteau matrimonial). Dans l'Est canadien, il est aussi appelé date crumbles (traduction : croustade aux dattes).

On le trouve souvent dans les cafés comme collation sucrée. Parfois, des noix sont ajoutées à la couche de dattes ou à la garniture. Des écorces confites peuvent être ajoutées à la couche de dattes pour créer une texture contrastante.

Les carrés de dattes sont un plat traditionnel dans la province canadienne de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador.

Selon la tradition, les carrés aux dattes sont exclusivement de forme carrée.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Sky High

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 12:00:00 -0000

The first mechanical public clocks introduced in Italy were mechanical 24-hour clocks which counted the 24 hours of the day from one-half hour after sundown to the evening of the following day. The 24th hour was the last hour of day time.[12]

From the 14th to the 17th century, two systems of time measurement competed in Europe:[13][14]

Italian (Bohemian, Old-Bohemian) hours (full-dial): 24 hours system with the day starting after sunset; on the static dial, the 24th hour was situated on the right side. In Italy, it was prevalently modified to a 4×6 hours system, but some 24hour dials lasted until the 19th century. The system has spread especially to the Alpine countries, Czech countries and Poland. In Bohemia, this system was finally banned only 1621 after the defeat on White Mountain. The Prague Astronomical Clock struck according to the Old Bohemian Clock until its destruction in 1945. The variant with counting from dawn is also rarely documented and used, e.g. on a 16th-century cabinet clock in the Vienna Art-History Museum.[15]
German (Gallic) hours (half-dial): 2×12 hour system starting at midnight and restarted at noon. It is typical with the 12-hour dial with 12 at the top.

The modern 24-hour system is a late-19th century adaptation of the German midnight-starting system, and then prevailed in the world with the exception of some Anglophone countries.

Striking clocks had to produce 300 strokes each day, which required a lot of rope, and wore out the mechanism quickly, so some localities switched to ringing sequences of 1 to 12 twice (156 strokes), or even 1 to 6 repeated four times (84 strokes).[12]

After missing a train while travelling in Ireland in 1876 because a printed schedule listed p.m. instead of a.m., Sir Sandford Fleming proposed a single 24-hour clock for the entire world, located at the centre of the Earth, not linked to any surface meridian — a predecessor to Coordinated Universal Time.[16][17] He was an early proponent of using the 24-hour clock as part of a programme to reform timekeeping, which also included establishing time zones and a standard prime meridian.[18] The Canadian Pacific Railway was among the first organizations to adopt the 24-hour clock, at midsummer 1886.[16][19]

At the International Meridian Conference in 1884, American lawyer and astronomer Lewis M. Rutherfurd proposed:

That this universal day is to be a mean solar day; is to begin for all the world at the moment of midnight of the initial meridian coinciding with the beginning of the civil day and date of that meridian, and is to be counted from zero up to twenty-four hours.[20]

This resolution was adopted by the conference.[20]

A report by a government committee in the United Kingdom noted Italy as the first country among those mentioned to adopt 24-hour time nationally, in 1893.[21] Other European countries followed: France adopted it in 1912 (the French army in 1909), followed by Denmark (1916), and Greece (1917). By 1920, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Switzerland had switched, followed by Turkey (1925), and Germany (1927). By the early 1920s, many countries in Latin America had also adopted the 24-hour clock.[22] Some of the railways in India had switched before the outbreak of the war.[21]

During World War I, the British Royal Navy adopted the 24-hour clock in 1915, and the Allied armed forces followed soon after,[21] with the British Army switching officially in 1918.[23] The Canadian armed forces first started to use the 24-hour clock in late 1917.[24] In 1920, the United States Navy was the first United States organization to adopt the system; the United States Army, however, did not officially adopt the 24-hour clock until July 1, 1942.[25][26]

The use of the 24-hour clock in the United Kingdom has grown steadily since the beginning of the 20th century, although attempts to make the system official failed more than once.[27] In 1934, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) switched to the 24-hour clock for broadcast announcements and programme listings. The experiment was halted after five months following a lack of enthusiasm from the public, and the BBC continued using the 12-hour clock.[27] In the same year, Pan American World Airways Corporation and Western Airlines in the United States both adopted the 24-hour clock.[28] In modern times, the BBC uses a mixture of both the 12-hour and the 24-hour clock.[27] British Rail, London Transport, and the London Underground switched to the 24-hour clock for timetables in 1964.[27] A mixture of the 12- and 24-hour clocks similarly prevails in other English-speaking Commonwealth countries: French speakers have adopted the 24-hour clock in Canada much more broadly than English speakers, and Australia also uses both systems.

Chapter Thirty-One: September

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0000

On September 21, 1978, at 1:00 am, Cromartie High School hall monitor Kamiyama Takashi was riding a Mechazawa brand motorcycle on Destrade Drive near the comedian wig factory and the Little Bass River when an unidentified animal scurried across the road in front of his vehicle. The animal was fully illuminated in his vehicle's headlights, and he described it as 180 to 215 cm (6 to 7 feet) tall and about 75 to 90 kg (165 to 200 lbs), with a very hairy chest. He reported spotting the animal "gazing longingly into a music shop window" before it momentarily stood erect to pose with a bottomless microphone stand and become enveloped in a cheering crowd.

Two weeks after the incident, a second Cromartie hall monitor, Hayashida Shinjiro, reported seeing an unidentified animal crouched along the road in the same vicinity as Kamiyama's sighting. Hayashida shot the animal, recovered the body, and put it in his trunk to show hall monitor Kamiyama. According to Kamiyama, who later viewed the body, it was "actually just the plastic gorilla statue from that gorilla-themed sushi restaurant." He confirmed it was not the animal he originally saw, which he dubbed "Freddie."

I couldn't help it, Kamiyama. I had to find out where I went wrong. The years I've spent trying to get all the things I was told were important, that I was supposed to want! Things! Not people... or meaning... Just things... And Cromartie High School was the same. They made the decisions for me all over again and they were the same things, really. It's going to be different from now on. A new face and a name. I'll do the rest. I know it's going to be different. I suppose you do too.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Shopping Boogie

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 13:00:00 -0000

The P Project began in C.E. 2021 under the aegis of Rear Admiral Connor to produce "P-Podcasts", which reached fruition in C.E. 2022. In this year, the first five prototype Cromartie Alliance mechazawa suits were secretly rolled out at the Export-controlled space colony Ghost Diver. These prototype mechazawa suits eventually became known collectively as "Gundam", named after the acronym for their mobile operating system — Guy-based United Non-serious Delinquent Anime & Manga. This was the first OS created, and was used for the KMY-T104 Pootan Gundam.

We start in the modest days of Heisei Ear 0012, a time when people lived in fear of their own actions, and a boy named Mechazawa learned that just because you're bad at machines doesn't make you bad at using them to beat up those chumps at Bass High.

Chapter Eleven: Welcome to the Jungle

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 12:00:00 -0000

Podcasts[1] are often designed to follow a particular theme; for instance, true crime. Originally, themes were often drawn from tradition or fairy tale narratives, in keeping with the craft tradition—but since the late 20th century, they have embraced a larger range, including Japanese manga.

The first podcast was recorded in 1890 at the Children's Education Workshop by Vasily Zvyozdochkin and edited by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk craftsman in the Abramtsevo estate of Savva Mamontov, a Russian industrialist, and patron of arts.[2][3]

A season of podcasts consists of a thematic idea, which separates at the middle, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller concept of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another concept inside of it, and so on.

Common themes of podcasts are educational and relate to the sciences. Often tv rewatches, book clubs, and video games are used as themes for the shows.[4] Modern podcasters create many new styles of podcasts, mostly as an alternative purchase option for tourism. These include animal collections, portraits, and caricatures of famous politicians, musicians, athletes, astronauts, "robots", and popular movie stars. Today, some podcasters specialize in recording themed episodes that feature specific categories of subjects, people, or humor.

Chapter Four: Fight Club

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:00:00 -0000

Moxibustion (Chinese: 灸 (jiǔ) or 灸術 (jiǔshù); Japanese: 灸 (kyū) or 灸術 (kyūjutsu)) is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy which consists of burning dried mugwort (moxa) on particular points on the body. It plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Mongolia. Suppliers usually age the mugwort and grind it up to a fluff; practitioners burn the fluff or process it further into a cigar-shaped stick. They can use it indirectly, with acupuncture needles, or burn it on the patient's skin.

The first Western remarks on moxibustion can be found in letters and reports written by Portuguese missionaries in 16th-century Japan. They called it botão de fogo ("fire button"), a term originally used for round-headed Western cautery irons. Hermann Buschoff, who published the first Western book on this matter in 1674 (English edition 1676), used the Japanese pronunciation mogusa. As the u is not very strongly enunciated, he spelled it "Moxa". Later authors blended "Moxa" with the Latin word combustio ("burning").
