Soup for Sluts Ramen

Apparently, it's a real product. In Japan.

Lisah, do the junkie hookers have to notify that cafe chick? Or is the underground economy safe from intellectual-property disputes.

hey, she just apologized to the city for that!

Oh my friend is going to be carrying that at her store. Novelty packaged ramens.

Way back when, I once wanted to go for Halloween as a Prince song. Raspberry beret, diamonds and pearls, pink cashmere coat, peaches and cream, yadda yadda. Then I realised no one I would be partying with would get the joke. I need new friends.

With some sort of cat harness!

And now I need to steal this idea.

Cat harnesses are SO 2010. [link]

Appalling. I could never eat something like that.

Perhaps some pasta puttanesca instead?

Heh. (I had to google to get that.)

This thing from WWII is fucked up. (OK, just one of millions of fucked-up things about WWII...)

What happens when a fighter pilot amazingly and unexpectedly returns from the dead? Well, in Ensign Minoru Honda’s case, you send him immediately back out to his death..

In September 1942, Honda - of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service was forced to make an emergency landing on Kolombangara - one of the Solomon Islands, where:

”..He was approached by a group of curious natives. Honda held up a bag of candy in one hand and a Browning automatic in the other. The natives were friendly, and tended for Honda’s needs until he was rescued”

It seems that, on his return to his unit after ten days missing, Honda was chastised by his superiors. Having been officially written off for dead - and given a rare double posthumous promotion - he was sent on lone long-range combat missions into enemy territory for seven consecutive days - in the hope that he would not return alive.

“Finally, when a senior officer learned of this matter, he was taken off the suicide missions, brought back to ‘life’, and stripped of his double promotion - such an increase in rank for a living enlisted man would have been unprecedented..”

Later in the war, Honda fought in the Philippines, and finally in the defence of Japan. He has been credited with achieving 17 kills.

Honda survived the war.

Wow, it is snowing here! They announced tomorrow as a snow day before we even left school. That's never happened.

So far, we have had 6 days in school since Xmas break. I am never going to be done teaching Beowulf and Oedipus.

You guys are funny today! I wish I'd been listening today instead of trying to not throw up and teach squirrely kids who could only talk about "ZOMG! Do we get another snow day?!" today. (I have a touch of the flu and spent yesterday at home horking and sleeping.)

OK, I have drugs and honey

Sounds like someone's channeling Charlie Sheen.

ita, that sounds like the most interesting wedding ever. Maybe the cow was photobombing the wedding?

That is pretty fucked-up, tommyrot.
