    lol

    here's to sodium overload. rest in peace.

    edit: you know what really grinds my gears (lol reference) though? the japanese have waaaaaay better instant noodle products, by default! nissin makes tons of different varieties, i mean, if you go to any trader joe's or import food store you can find that stuff but they're leaps and bounds ahead of us in terms of taste and general quality of instant food, and we're still stuck eating regular cup noodle and top ramen most of the time.

    It's not like Ramen is gonna stop manufacturing noodles just because the dude died. It ain't broke, as the saying goes.

    Possibly the best form of 'instant' food (not pot noodles though. they are sin in a plastic container). There passes a great man. 96 as well! I wonder if he ate his own invention a lot?

    I wonder how often "often" is, because I'm pretty sure that the noodles aren't the best thing for your life. Or they get a special kind.

    They're the same kind of thing as student, or bombay mix.

    Not particularly tasty, but perfectly good for you...

    If there's one thing the internet has taught me, it's that you can't always count on asian women to <i>not actually be</i> men.

    Edit: Infact I might go as far as to say, the hotter the asian women, the more likely that she might be packing something extra.

    My sister, who is into J-rock, made a jpeg image game based on exactly that principle. She calls it "one of these people is a girl. Which one?". I'll see if I can get it from her when I get home.

    It would've been more interesting if she'd just sent you a compilation of attractive Japanese "women" to grade on the beauty scale, or whatever. Oblivious, you'd go and 'manhandle the piss pipe', after which she remembers she forgot to mention one of them's a dude. Then you'd totally flip out and kill yourself because, dude, Japanese death trannies.

    Totally.

    Excess MSG, high cholesterol sodium and fat, and low vitamins and mineral does not make a perfectly healthy meal.

    They do, however, make easy meals occasionally and still taste better and is more nourishing than a cold plate.
