So Josiah quits asking
Quote: In Japan, senpai (先輩?) is an upperclassman or upperclasswoman, someone of a higher age, or senior and kōhai (後輩?) is a protégé or junior. The mentor system is found at all levels of education, and in sports clubs, businesses, and informal or social organizations. The relationship is an essential element of Japanese seniority-based status relationships, similar to the way that family and other relationships are decided based on age, in which even twins may be divided into elder and younger siblings.
The senpai is roughly equivalent to the Western concept of a mentor, while kōhai is roughly equivalent to protégé, though they do not imply as strong a relationship as these words mean in the West. More simply, these may be translated as senior and junior, or as an elder compared with someone younger in the family, company, or organization; the terms are used more widely than a true mentor/protégé in the West and are applied to all members of one group that are senior (the senpai) to all the members of another group (the kōhai). There is usually no average separation in age between a senpai and his or her kōhai.
A junior student will often refer to elder and more high class students as senpai, and alumni will often refer to alumni from earlier classes as senpai. This holds true particularly if events bring them together later on, such as joining the same company, serving on a board together, or simply being in a club or parent's organization at the same time.
On rare occasions, a younger person may also be considered the senpai of an elder person if circumstances dictate—such as if the elder entered an organization or company at a later time than the younger did.

This is starting to look and sound like that scene from Hook where Peter Pan gets back into acting childish with Rufio.

As much as I hate to say it it seems like you were really fishing for being right.
That may just be me being an *** though.

Schiz is Japanese? I have no idea why I'm taken aback by this. For some reason, I was expecting more of like a Sam Elliott.

Hmmmm... well, my Friday night is shot (told my students I was finally going to go to a game) and I'm judging a Speech and Debate event for a friend Saturday morning, so... S A TUR DAY... NIGHT?
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
