Uh uh, man. Naw, man. You don't want to rile me, man. You just riled the wrong motherfucker, man. Naw, you don't even know, man. I'm—I'm the last guy you want to fuck with, man, 'cause you don't know me, man. I'll fuckin', I'll kill your ass, man. You don't even know, man. You don't know, man. I'm like a motherfuckin'

For those of us living in Japan, "Ponyo" has been available on DVD for about a month now, and I can attest to its greatness.

J-Pop: Makin' it happen — shuf-fail, that is.
