Well, those of you who have read Zack's "1000 Things to Do With Chocolate Milk" post will know the phrase "klol". This is an acronym that Zack and I came up with. It means "hairy barbarians laughing out loud" or, more simply, barbaric laughter. It's an extremely useful expression, if I do say so myself. The 'k' of klol stands for ketou, the Japanese word for, guess what, hairy barbarian. Since dear old Zack has been begging me to put a post on klol up for ages, I have finally decided to do one. Here it is.
And also, a note about Eduardo: I am going to start working on his story more, since my darling s-san and I have come up with more ideas for his story, its sequels, and its bonus installments. With the help of others, of course. Thank you all!
I do believe this is the shortest post I have ever written. Goodness, what's happened to me?

Eeeeeeeeeurghhhhhhh! Medical Problems!
OK, you people have been complaining LONG ENOUGH! (*ahemzackahem*) I don't really have the time right now, but I will make a new post anyway. I am going to stem off of Kit's post but instead tell you people allllllllll about different ways of saying that things are wrong with you in Japanese. Have fun.
Ashi ga kayui desu. = My feet are itchy.
I ga kayui desu. = My intestines are itchy.
Bempi desu. = I am constipated.
Utsubyou desu. = I am depressed.
Mizumushi ga arimasu. = I have athlete's foot.
Mizubouso ga arimasu. = I have chicken pox.
Mushiba desu. = I have bad teeth.
Futsukayoi desu. = I have a hangover.
Geri desu. = I have diarrhea.
Ugaigusuri ga irimasu. = I need mouthwash.
Mimitabu ni yakedo ga arimasu. = There is a burn on my earlobe.
Mabuta ga arimasen. = I have no eyelids.
The list goes on and on. Yes, we learned these words in class. Some of them are actual examples that certain creative classmates made up (the itchy feet was mine). Any specific medical problem in mind, ask me or Kit and we could probably tell you. Oh, random, moderately useful vocabulary.
This morning in class we were each given a card with a certain medical problem on it. We were supposed to go around and ask our classmates (in Japanese) what was wrong with them, and we were each supposed to locate a few specific people. Naturally, mine was "Bempi desu." And, also naturally, there was a mix-up with the cards and Sensei (that's Japanese for "teacher" for those of you who don't know) had to straighten a few things out, and ended up asking for specific cards to make sure there were no doubles. So, the cheerful call of "Who's constipated?" rang out through the room, and I sheepishly raised my hand among the raucous laughter that had broken out. Now that is something that I will remember for quite a while.
Your falsely constipated friend,
Ali ^_^
PS Zack, I know there's no klol on this post. You will just have to wait. Deal with it.
PPS Due to popular vote (I think), the riddle thingie is hereby disbanded.
