@zebratron2084 “It’s better to be alive, the living can keep a cow.”

@zebratron2084

I mean, that's pretty much what those characters mean, but I'm wondering if it's one of those things where it's spelled with different kanji. Where is this place?

@dodec Oh, wait, no, here we go. It's actually part of the name of a station, possibly a neighborhood, in Shinjuku.

@zebratron2084

...Yep, that checks out. "Cow goes in" or "cow included".

@zebratron2084

You mad fiend!!!

You actually found where the cows come home to?!?!?

@zebratron2084 oh ho ho wait till you hear about the pass (like mountain pass) I heard about which is called 牛転峠 (うしころばしとうげ) which would be something like.... "cow rolls down the hill pass"
I feel like there's a back story there
