And here's the picture for the day!

Akihiko, the "large glory"? You do live up to part of your name! Umbrellas won't
make it though! You're not even fit to rule the kitchen! 

And from my friend in Mumbai!!

You right handed crook! My sword is stuck on the left. Never mind. Destroy the umbrella. But you won't get the Iphone. I'm sitting on it.

    Mwahaha...Sylvia, we both must've googled "Japanese male names" and picked the same name from the A-names list, as they came up first! "Large glory"...I love it. He definitely over-ate during the holidays!

    I like it Sylvia! A lot! :) Looks like he would have to conquer before he ruled the kitchen.

    Don't knock the umbrella... one of my hubby's favorite Kungfu heroes, Wong Fei Hung, can do wonders with a traditional paper umbrella. Have a look at the "Once Upon a Time in China" movies ;-)

    The big guy does look somewhat misplaced! I wonder what he relies on in the kitchen?

    I love this entry Sylvia, nice work researching a name! I sidestepped that by setting mine in a suburban living room.

    This was great - not fit to rule the kitchen that's a blow might as well be over

    Got me considering a name change, although I'm not translating it for anyone. LOL

    There's a moral to the 2nd one, I guess: always sit on your iPhone. Must make talking a bit difficult though.

    Thanks for two smiles this morning.

    I would have thought the chefs battle with chopsticks. Considering his belly, Akihiho would win hands-down!
