Just forget the words and sing along

It's that time of the week, folks! Over at my real website, Chaos in a Box, I've got my latest column up! This week's offering is called Play the Part. Here's a sample:

"Japan has this form of entertainment known as the hostess bar. At the outset, it seems like a regular bar, but there is something different. After you sit at your table, you are joined by an (usually) attractive young woman, who is, in reality, an employee of the bar. This is your hostess. Throughout the evening, she will entertain you with stale jokes, shower you with false compliments, and get you to spend more money at the bar by buying more drinks for yourself, and her. Once she starts getting inebriated, she'll go to the back room to sleep it off, and you'll be joined by a different young woman. And so the evening goes, until you are hammered and broke."
