Maybe I should make it a real question so you can answer it and get reputation points.
 
いいのよ~「草生える」って私も全然知りませんでした。
あ、でも~reputation points はあまり気にしてないし~(増えたら、もっと何か、イイものが見えるのかな?w)
@snailplane おやすみ~

Okay, I won't make it a real question. :-)

Well, maybe I will later.

Eh... might as well... just because it is a rather odd bit of netspeak
and it's not as if we're being overrun with questions

does anyone have any advice on how to subdue a cat
a very recalcitrant cat
somethings stuck on his fur and the git wont let me cut it off
on an unrelated note, there's an interview with a japan reporter talking about how the "yakuza are transitioning into powerful organizations and becoming increasingly international" in the journal of international affairs magazine
all i really know about yakuza is from watching beat takeshi movies lolz

Yakuza behaving like corporations wouldn't surprise me. After all, Japanese corporations behave like yakuza! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiretsu
@Chocolate I'm a little curious about your lang-8 profile image. What is the structure the cat(?) is under? Is it a kotatsu?
What's the meaning of the saying "Only a fool climbs Mt Fuji twice"?

What is that saying in Japanese?

I googled but failed to find it. I did find the saying 一富士二鷹三茄子, which is pretty opaque

A translation of the latter saying: dic.yahoo.co.jp/…

@AndrewGrimm あれは、友達が描いてくれました^^ Yes~ that's こたつ。こたつと、ネコと、アニメ「銀魂」の「かぐら」ちゃんです。
 
Can な be used in stead of である in prenominal(before a noun) position?
taking an example sentence from A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar:
彼が一級のピアニストであることは疑う余地がない。
And combining what I know about relative clauses:
ところが静かだ→静かなところ
Is "ピアニストなこと" grammatical?

@Flaw I can't say authoritatively, but 静か is a na-adjective/形容動詞/な形容詞/pick-your-name-for-this-confounded-part-of-speech, so it uses な rather than の
