In the December issue of OL fashion monthly CanCam, the editors provide a useful guide calleduƒ‚ƒeŽq‚̏Kе vs. ƒuƒXŽq‚̏Kеvto delineate the lifestyle differences between girls who attract boys — the so-called gmotekoh — and those who do not — gbusuko.h The article has sparked a bit of backlash on the internet with CanCam readers who were shocked to find out that they werenft in the proper athletic club in high school nor drink the right alcohol on a date. (Hint: never start the night with a beer.) Apparently based on gsurvey results,h some of the findings are pretty on-message and obvious — ghot girls look like Ebi-chan!h — but some of the critiques may speak painful truths to readers — gbejeweling your iPod is probably not appealing to boys.h

Sou desu. I bet if the girls looked like Ebi-chan, the boys wouldn't care if they had a chicken or a crayfish as a pet though :P

I don't know. There are a few items in the busuko that are turn off for me.

The big ass dog, Making out with boyfriend (means not single) and Sitting with your legs crossed (spread apart is much better when wearing a skirt :nut: ). I don't know who the hell collects rocks. I think I stopped that when I entered kindergarten. :hehe:

Video games, I don't mind that, unless it means I can't play. :beaten:

from a Q+A forum

My dog thinks my leg is sexy. this happened to anyone else?

i broke my leg 8wks ago. the cast is off but i can't put any weight on it yet. i have had my rat terrier for 5yrs now and he has never tried to hump my leg before. he has allways walked behind us when we are moving from room to room. i walk with my left leg and my right leg is bent at the knee. all of a sudden a few days ago i was reaching for something and arty (my dog) licked my leg several times than just starting humping away. of course i moved my leg away and said no no no. ever since than he follows me kissing ( licking) my leg and gently pawing the back of my leg and than there he goes, right back on my leg. has this happened to anyone before. arty has never done this in the whole 5yrs i have had him. all i can say is arty thinks my broke leg is sexy

An astrophysicist??? Sugoi...!! :thumbsup:

Brian May named university chancellor

Mon Nov 19, 2:05 PM ET

Brian May, rock star and astrophysicist, has been appointed chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University.

May will be installed as the university's figurehead leader early next year, it was announced Monday. The 60-year-old Queen guitarist said the appointment was "a great honor and a great new challenge."

He is an honorary fellow of Liverpool John Moores University, which has a well-known astrophysics research institute.

"Brian May is an intensely talented individual who achieved global success with Queen," said the university's vice chancellor, Michael Brown, in a statement. "In this age of celebrity culture, it is rare to find someone who has fame, fortune and universal acclaim and yet who remains true to his core values of learning and enlightenment."

May succeeds Cherie Booth, wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Liverpool John Moores University was formed in 1992 from the former Liverpool Polytechnic.

May completed his doctorate in astrophysics earlier this year. He was awarded his qualification by Imperial College London.

He was an astrophysics student at Imperial College when he joined Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor to form Queen in 1970, but dropped his doctorate as the glam rock band became more successful.

May is the co-author of "Bang! The Complete History of the Universe," which was published last year.
