Where you go to live if you are wealthy but don't feel the need to constantly flaunt said wealth (as in Scarsdale and Bronxville).
Son: Daddy, why doesn't mommy wear her pearls and best gowns to walk the dog?
Father: Silly child. We live in Larchmont, not Bronxville.

Anime, in recent years, has enjoyed a significant boom in popularity in outside of Japan, namely in the Western world.
Although anime has interesting and unusual themes, sometimes adult (not common in most Western animation), anime doesn't really deserve the mass popularity it has gained. Most anime shows follow similar and repetetive plots and themes to eachother, and as well, anime technique on a whole is very primitive in comparison to the American school of classical animation (eg. VERY static characters, anime has walk cycles of 4 frames) and it seems the Japanese animators take as many shortcuts as possible. Humor in anime for the most part is insultingly simplistic; a character says something stupid, and everyone falls down. The sad thing is, most anime that tries to be humorous borrows the exact same gags as every other "comedy" anime.
However, there are a few artful gems which defy these stereotypes, (Miyazaki's films, namely) but on the whole anime is a overhyped genre thats sadly, killing North American cartoons off television.

Get the white applemug. The Christian Code is essentially a set of very basic rules that you should adapt to everyday living. However, depending on who you are, the Christian Code takes a lot of patience.
The Christian Code is merely the golden rule "Do Unto Others As You Would Love To Have Them Do Unto You". However, this rule can break down into many other rules. One of them is to accept people for who they are. Another is to not resort to violence (which is very difficult, hence the 'Code requires patience).
Adapting the Christian Code will, some way or another, lead you to a life of happiness. The Christian Code basically teaches you to be nice. It takes MUCH time, but having a nice attitude & a kind personality will go a long way toward your success in the future.

"It is difficult for me now, after more than a decade, to follow the Christian Code. Next time someone harasses or abuses me, I won't turn the other cheek."
