Re “funny Japanese game show”: In 1989, I spent six months working in Japan at the Yokohama Exotic Showcase (YES ’89),
a theme park celebrating the 100th anniversary of the city of Yokohama.
Every Friday, at 8 PM, I and various other American performers would assemble in somebody’s hotel room to watch what one of my Japanese friends said was “Prince Valentine’s Castle”- but what we more accurately called “The Beat-Your-Face Game Show”.
The format? A photogenic Japanese man in a military uniform (tremendously overladen with faux-medals and decorations) hosted
a show in which ordinary Japanese, from all walks of life, would run various types of obstacle-courses or physical challenges.
The bonus? You were assured that every broadcast would show somebody getting incredibly smashed up (if not, indeed, hospitalized!).
[My personal favorite challenge was where people walked across an un-railed rope-bridge, 40 feet over a trapeze net, while insane men shot them off the bridge w/ volleyballs blasted from an air-cannon.]

Better to wash before going solo, no? And going solo doesn’t necessarily mean you’re alone, right? After that, it slurpee time! Open wide… :wang:

Hey Jay,
You can still catch that show on SPike TV. It’s called MXC. It’s a redub of Takeshi’s Castle.
You should wash your hands after playing with your light saber but before woking your ewok…

geez… it took me two days to get it.
But, I always wash my hans and neck at night. :kiss:
I usually neck at night, too. :wang: :thong: :boobs:
I’m hungover, and I approve this message.
A hans in the hand ain’t worth :wang: :wang: in the bush!
