Funny you should mention that ED. I'm crappy at faking accents. I can do some Monty Pythonesque stuff, and a decent Jamaican patois, but I can't for the life of me do a decent Chinese accent. It's embarrassing, really.
But back OT, this guy who has been posing as a Shaolin monk came by the office the other day with Shin Kobasomethingjapanese. He starred in Last Samurai (Shin, not the monk poseur). As a welcoming gift, the monk gave me this cheap ass bowie knife. It was something you'd buy at a flea market, with a colored wood handle that was set with nuts and screws, no where near flush, into a stainless steel hunk of metal with jags on the back and weird holes punched into the blade. We actually have an e-zine article coming on Shin (and don't beleive IMDB - no way is he 5'9", more like 5'5"). Shin wanted to be on the cover, of course. It was weird and never have I been so underwhelmed by a movie star. When they left, I sold the knife to our senior graphic artist for a penny. He wants to use it to open beer bottles and I warned him not to cut himself.
