Hell no, it's like half a month's salary for a two-finger set (though I dedperately miss their chicken sandwiches now that I don't have one nearby).

I think you're looking for the other AV Club.

Mirin is the unsung hero of Japanese cuisine, capable of making most dishes both instantly more flavorful and instantly more Japanese. My other favorite is Sesame-oil which seems to bring out the best in udon and other noodle dishes.

J-Curry comes from curry powder mixed with British beef stew and came about I think during WW1 or the Sino-Japanese war when Japan's military had a lot of interaction with tge british(and they needed some other flavor besides beef stew). The soy sauce thing I've heard is that it ruins the purity of the white rice,…

Oh dear god no. For every good Japanese show about food there are twenty advertainment puff pieces that is just like four guys and girls competing to make the stupidest face while saying ummai!. I could not tell you if any of the food is actually good because they grade is on a scale of 10 to 10 with 10 being…

I find it odd that everyone seems to define the era in terms of grunge vs metal when it was only really Nirvana and Sonic Youth that really had their guns out for hair metal. At the time there were acts like Mother Love Bone (Proto-Pearl Jam for you young-uns) and Ugly Kid Joe that straddled the line between those…

Ganguro is also like 10 years out of style.

Also, Harajuku style isn't really much of a thing anymore, so this show reads like a Mexican cartoon starring dudes dressed in Stussy and Jncos.

It was the late 90s, like a Latin guitar line could get anything played at drug stores.

I propose we move to a hybrid economy backed by Midnight Oil.

But at that point haven't you met him, in which case he ceases to be a stranger?

I don't think he specified which size would be adjusted, but I believe his answer was that he would adjust his and his pet boxer's relative sizes such that Emeril could ride his boxer.

Have you read Roadside Picnic? It's what Stalker is based off of and was a huge influence on Van Der Meer as well. I recommend it firmly if you haven't.

Yeah, that's what makes it great, it's not scary so much as unsettling.

Tiger Woods, Hope Solo. I think you actually have a better shelf life if you aren't super-prized (yet still sorta famous) as there isn't as much scrutiny on you. That's why like Bill Cosby no longer exists on this plane, but Chris Brown can still do his thing (I mean, that's what he's famous for now, right?).

I can't name a game I've seen it in, but I thought Jeff Van Der Meer's annihilation captured that sense very well.

When you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says 15 miles to the Lovecraft!

Oh man, that reminds me of this time I was on a cooking shift with this girl really into hip-hop at my college dorm. She had great taste and was always introducing me to cool things, but on this day it was my turn on the radio and god damn it I wanted to hear The Clash.

Ok, real talk. Joe or Mick?

Yay Alan Ginsberg!
