To Viz, who's idea of calling Okonomiyaki a Japanese pizza is as
 intelligent as me calling an Egg Role a Chinese Perogy...:):)

Out of curiosity what exactly would you compair Okonomiyaki too if you were
trying to give an example?  I've never seen one let alone tasted one.  But
i've heard the pizza example before and also the "It's kinda like a pancake"
deinition but i was wondering which is more acurate.

An Okonomiyaki is a special type of Japanese Pancake.  See the recipe 
in Hitomi Ichinohei's "A Son's Duty", and note that the closest thing 
it comes to is a pancake, albeit very different from western style 
pancakes.

      Stress Relief
   All stressed out?  Sometimes it helps to think
of happy scenes.  Maybe a pastoral field, a field
with a babbling brook.  You're there on a lovely
summer's day...holding someone's head under the 
water.  Now you're letting them up for a second.
Then blam!  Back into the freezing water!  Over
and over again!  There.  Feel better?
