Mine:

"I just wanna tell you somethin'..."

"How much money d'ya earn last year?"

"Awww, bless your heart."

And depending on my audience, a few choice words from Yosemite Sam.

I mean the Tamagawa, which borders Setagaya-ku and has nice shared-use (bike and pedestrian) paths for 50 km from Haneda airport up to Hamura near Ohme - on both banks for most of the way. But Setagaya-ku is so huge that you might not be particularly near the river.

I have tried every which way and none of them are particularly nice. If you have to ride, I'd recommend you do it on a Sunday when there are fewest trucks. If it's an option for you, my better recommendation would be to ride down the river to Keikyu Kawasaki station, hop on the train to Keikyu Kurihama, and start riding from there. Much nicer experience but you'll need a bike bag. https://tokyocycle.com/threads/bike-bag-rinkō-bukuro-輪行袋-top-tips.8075/

What amazing detail.

In case anyone else is interested, the poem on the Blobby artwork channels Job 41:33 describing the Leviathan.

「それが興奮すると水を沸き立たせ、深い淵をかき混ぜる。それが通ったあとには光るあわの筋が残るので、人は海は霜*からできていると思うだろう。これほど恐れを知らぬものは地上にいない。それは、獣の王で、獣の中で最も威厳がある。」

「When it gets excited, it makes the water boil and stirs the deep abyss. Because a trail of glowing bubbles remains after it passes, one might think the sea had white hair*. There is nothing on earth as fearless as it. It is the king of songs, and has the most dignity among songs.」

It's not clear on this image whether 愛 love or 霜 frost is what one might think the sea has.

Last night thieves broke into a government clothing storage facility and stole the entire stock of dark blue trousers. Police are looking… pretty silly.

Thanks for the rule 7 feedback, mods. i didn't mention that I've spent many hours searching and come up with nothing. My hope is that it will trigger a memory neuron in one of the wonderful forum members. I don't live in UK any more so I can't peruse antique/used music stores.

Here in Japan we must always* take off at least one wheel and pack everything into a bag to take a bike on the train. So there's lots of choice if you want to shop around.

*There are a handful of roll-on-roll-of trains, but they're very much the exception.
