So that's what the world has chosen...
It's me. It seems as though Putin is going to take us on...
Yes, I understand. It is his decision to make in the end.

La jodasoh steana
From the countless hilarious anecdotes from the Japanese internet, there's a relatively famous one that goes as following:

大学の食堂で国際情勢のニュースを見るたびに(主に戦争関連;)
「それが世界の選択か・・・」と寂しそうに呟き、携帯で電話するフリをして
「俺だ、○○(大統領等の名前;)はどうやら俺達とやる気らしい・・・」等とほざいて
「あぁ、わかってる。あいつなりの考えだな。ラ・ヨダソウ・スティアーナ(別れの合い言葉、意味はない;)」
と電話を切り、寂しそうに飯を食う。というまわりの奴らに脅威を与えるのをやってた。Every time I'd see some international political news (usually war-related) in my college cafeteria, I would somberly utter,
"So that's what the world has chosen...".
Then I would pretend to make a call on my cell phone, spouting off lines like, "It's me. It seems as though xxx (some president's name) is going to take us on..."
Then I would say, "Yes, I understand. It is his decision to make in the end. La jodasoh steana (made-up words of farewell)." in the most gravest of tones, and finish my meal with a lonely air about myself.
I'd always intimidate the people around me like this.Basically, it's an anonymous forum post of a guy explaining his little routine where he kept on suggesting to eavesdroppers that he was some part of a global conspiracy just for kicks.
It's sad and hilarious, and this short anecdote has been immortalized among the many copypastas that populate the Japanese Internet.Tools: SAI 1.0, GIMP 2.4.5
