For $3,600 bucks a pound I can get a lot more mileage out of The Capital grille and a really primo call girl with a limo.

May fortune favor the foolish....

You know, I never get into politics here but this is just F&%$#ING stupid. There are people in NY and NJ that are having a hard time making ends meet because of Sandy and these nitwits are paying $3600 a pound to eat raw fish. I am at a total loss to understand the logic here.

No boat, back in the suds.

This is an annual game that is played in Tokyo by some sushi restaurant owners as free PR. Yes a very expensive game but basically a business decision by a restaurant owner to get his place on the front page of the newspapers...

If I remember correctly they also see it as a sign of good luck for the rest of the season(getting the first bft ).
