• Welcome to the famous carrot mountain range. A vast landscape lets us explore this world of cute leporidaes. Carrots as large as mountains as far as the eye can see. Crossed by rivers reflecting the warm colors of the cloudy pastel sky. In front a cute observer. A rabbit without fear sitting on a carrot shaped stone, enjoying what doesn't cost a dime, or to put it better words, a cart of carrots.

"Medvedev said he climbed through barbed-wire fences, evaded border patrol dogs, ran away from guards' bullets and ran through a forest and over an icy lake to make it into Norway. Once there, he said in the video, he knocked on the door of the first house he came across and asked the woman inside to call the police.
He said he was taken to a local police station before being transferred to a detention center for foreign citizens in the Norwegian capital, Oslo."

Best thing about Dragon Quest Treasures is that if you use the code "YUB" in their mystery gift thing they give you a King Slime voiced by Actual Yuuji Horii.

He says stuff like "It's me, Mr. Horii!" and "Takara arisou da naa"

Note to non-olds about the phone conversation in the song: this song was written well before we all basically had caller ID in our pockets. Generally speaking, if the phone rang, people picked it up without knowing who it could possibly be. (I usually had to brace myself before picking up a phone call.)
