Ever been to the Meguro Parasite Museum?

[metaghost]

They got some big parasites there.

Many meters of tape worms,
turtle skulls bursting with brain leeches of some sort,
wall scrolls of samurai carrying their oversized testicles through battlefields littered with oversized centipedes.

Highly recommended.

is this in boston?

 

[metaghost]

Sadly, no.
It's in Meguro, a district of Tokyo, JP.

It may seem like a strange question, as I don't think many Japanese citizens have been to the MPM.

But it seemed like if there were a board from which someone had been there,
it would be this board.

I'll make a note of visiting this when I go to Japan for 10 months this September...

They even have T-Shirts and other fine collectibles of parasitic relevance.

Also, it's right by an amazing ecological paradise (like a bird sanctuary, but better),
and then you can go got crunked at the Kirin Beer Museum.

Are you going to be studying there, or just hanging out wondering where you can go ride giant animatronic pandas?

 

[4LAO]

Studying. I'll be going to Sophia University for the academic year. I'll learn about japanese beer drinking, drunken bicycle riding, and how to grope women on trains without getting caught.

 

[metaghost]

Nice!

I lived in Takadanobaba for a while, which I believe is where Sophia is?
Unless you're mildly retarded, you'll have plenty of time to do all sorts of awesome things, because college in Japan is super easy. (I did a semester at Kansai Gaidai at one point.)
Make sure to eat some beard papa's—they're pipin' hot!

mia would eat any of the exhibits not behind glass cases.

i think it's only a matter of time before mia sprouts another 4-6 legs, starts walking sideways and/or fashions herself some nasty pincers out of paper clips and old cell phone casings

 

[4LAO]

You say that about Mia, but I feel that's the direction humans will evolve. Starting with the Japanese!

 

[metaghost]

Radioactivity or McDonald's?

 

[avi]

perhaps Mia will evolve into one of the exhibits?

MIAGURO!!!

Oh, hey neat. They're playing my state soon. Too bad I'll be in Portland when they play Eugene and in Eugene when they play Portland.

SPAM! One time I went to see Secret Chiefs 3 open up for Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. But I had to go barf and leave after Secret Chiefs instead of watching Sleepytime.
