Send to email | Making Friends At The Japanese Police Station [Night Note] in night note Note | By Brian Ashcraft el 09-Jul-2008 | To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: Don't Leave Us Hanging Tonight's Night Note is kinda long, so I put it after the jump. What you missed last night What Are The Top Selling Games Of 2008 So Far? Fallout 3 Refused Classification In Australia Patapon 2 Announced, Let's Look At It Mega Man 9: Cheap As $10 Chips Cliff Bleszinski Wants Fewer Buttons This Wii Hard Drive Is So Damn Phony (And Funny) Does This Banjo Kazooie Video Confirm An Xbox 360 Motion Controller? This morning was spent in a police station. An old, dirty Osaka police station where everyone smokes — even, no especially the cops. Late last week, white paint was splattered all over my car. No clue who did it, so I called the police, who was very helpful and said I need to get the car fixed or repainted or whatever before they can start investigation. Turns out that the paint thankfully came off in the carwash, so I was only out like ten bucks. Still I told the officer that I'd bring my receipt to finish my paperwork, I headed over to the station earlier today. And so I was talking to an officer, and of course cops kept bringing in dudes that had been tethered and cuffed into the station to talk to them about who-knows-what. There was a guy behind me, not a copy, just some guy in workman's clothes, speaking really rough Japanese to another officer. And that officer was speaking rough Japanese back at him. This guy looked late 30s and tough — though, he was also there just to file a complaint about something, I didn't catch what. The guy would break into scary Japanese, telling the cop he was wasting his time or to hurry up or whatever. Seemed like a real asshole. I was told to wait and sit on a bench in the hallway while they finished up the paperwork. That tough guy sat down next to me and started cussing to himself and cursing the police and whatnot. Then he turned to me and asked in broken English: "What's your name?" "Brian." "Plain?" "Brian." (Points to himself, proud) "Kenji." Kinda left the conversation at that, and the guy smiled at me. He had no teeth. Then the guy went off and started screaming at the cops again, and I went over to the counter and finished signing the paperwork and just as I was leaving, I passed tough guy Kenji, who turned and said to me: "Bye bye Kenji. See you!" Dude even waved.
