On a weirdness scale this is an 11

I would imagine airbrushed plastic food would be more controlled. And I’ve heard hairspray after…???

Chris, glad to have been able to help cheer you up! Time in Japan will always be part of my fondest memories. As a kid, it was a fantastic place with unending wonders and surprises. As an adult, it is still no less amazing. But now I can go where I will, and with the internet I can find places I didn’t even know about. But you know, on this last trip the crazy hobby shopping took a back seat to visiting with my relatives and just enjoying being there. Getting older perhaps.

Caveman, sorry, but the shop didn’t have flies for sale on the custom accessory rack. And I gave away all my rubber bugs to a co-worker’s son. The fly didn’t look terribly real, but the centipede got me and my co-worker’s son into a lot of trouble! [:p] I also got those from Japan, but that is a story for another day.

Okay, time to hit the thrift shop for a bowl and fork! [:)]
