We&#8217;ve got spunk, we do!  No matter what the difficulties or dangers, we sally forth and soldier on.  Our gritty determination has seen us through countless trials and travails, emerging through the mists of woe with spirited grins on our feisty faces.  No challenge can match our bold <em>ganbatte<\/em> attitude.  <em>&#8220;We are never give up!&#8221;<\/em> as the song says.

Here&#8217;s an idea: save all the money that isn&#8217;t spent on romantic dinners, weekend getaways, flowers, candy and all that other stuff and spend it all at once to buy an anatomically accurate silicone sex doll.  Now we&#8217;re talkin&#8217;!  Nikki the Doll doesn&#8217;t care if Kenneth is a dweeb, just so long as he dresses her nice and uses a good antiseptic to wipe her down afterwards.  But wait, what if spending time with Nikki improves Kenneth&#8217;s confidence and he isn&#8217;t such a dweeb anymore?  What if Kenneth was only <em>practicing<\/em> on Nikki so that he could get together with Lisa?  Nikki doesn&#8217;t like that.  No, Nikki doesn&#8217;t like that <strong>at all<\/strong>.  Maybe Nikki wants her dweeb back and will do anything to keep him all to her ball-jointed self.
