I ordered another drink.

In the US its generally illegal to tattoo someone who is drunk.

Comfortably numb

In many ways this fellow is. ------------ I recently read that DoCoMo is moving towards using cellphones as wallets for all kinds of value. Though they could have the phone be an anonymous bearer token like cash or a prepaid token (which, like cash, limits the loss to the stored value if the phone is lost or stolen), they "thought customers would prefer transaction records". Japs don't care for privacy, it seems. If they lose the phone, its just one call to DoCoMo instead of several to credit companies, which is touted as a plus. Makes analyzing behavior easier if its centralized. Insects.
