Regarding this:
<0079> \{Kyou} "Are you blind? How does this look anything like a dog or a tanuki?"
// Reword, substituted weird idiom-R23
// "Do you have marbles stuffed in your eyes? What part of this looks like a dog or tanuki?"
// \{杏} 「あんたの目、フシ穴にビー玉つまってんの？ これのどこが犬や狸に見えんのよ」
<0145> \{Kyou} "Your life would be over."
// "It just means your life span will shorten dramatically."
// Again, not literal, but it catches the spirit more naturally, I think.-R23
// \{杏} 「あんたの寿命が著しく短くなるだけよ」
