Ramen noodles are made with buckwheat and usually sold as udon in most grocery stores. The have a slightly yellow color and are fairly thick. You drop them directly into your boiling hot bowl of broth and they cook in the bowl.

No kombu dashi?

One of my favorite things about the Trailblazers revival of fortunes (besides the team being good, obv.) is talking to long time fans about this era and EVERYONE says they always loved Sheed. Utter horseshit. He should have been the perfect match between player and city, but we treated him like garbage. Reading old…

It was Patterson’s sexual assault of his nanny that did it for most people. That and Woods’ dog fighting. Bonzi Wells was a douche and I never liked him but I didn’t think he was a bad person. The reason people turned on the Blazers was that the fans started to understand that the Blazers were willing to tolerate…

Eventually someone is going to turn up with a Sumerian clay tablet bemoaning the generation of Asherbanapol and their “chicken” marriages, compared to the older generations “oxen” marriages. Bitching about the young is not the exclusive domain of Baby Boomers and is in fact one of the 7 markers Sociologists use to…

Go read the Mother Jones article on how the CEO of Texaco flagrantly flouted US law in his support of Franco and the Nazis during both the Spanish Civil War and WWII. Goodell and his bunch of lumpenoligarchs are small potatoes compared to real evil.

My daily driver for groceries and day-care pickup is a V70R. THAT is the perfect enthusiast family car. Plush interior, incredibly safe, giant cargo hold, and goes like a goddamn bat out of hell.

The relationship is uneasy both ways. The Japanese were ok with the base because it’s not really ‘Nippon’ and thus ok, and the Okinawans, who still find unexploded ordinance daily, like having a strong military presence in case Hirohito was in fact, playing the long game (they hate just about everything else about the…

Long ago my wife tutored for an old world Hungarian couple who had their entire extended family living with them. Every time she would go over there with any kind of ailment they would insist she shove a mashed clove of garlic in various orifices (all of them were suggested at one time or another). The only one she…

He also utterly destroyed the American economy for a decade and a half. Enmiserating millions of people and shredding the safety net he promised we wouldn’t need anymore. Are we sure he isn’t evil?

I assume McClendon is feeling confident, having already gotten away with theft.

You are on a weird and exciting run my friend. Keep it up, and buy a mouth guard. Benzos are real teeth grinders.

Out of curiosity i just checked my cable box and I’ll be damned but fox sports is there. This is the first time I’ve ever noticed it, and its right between mlbtv and nbatv, my two top favorites . I would watch a Roland Martin fishing show though. I bet his ascot is a potent muskie lure.

CPA FIGHT! THEY’RE MAKING EYE CONTACT! WORLD STAR HIP HOP!

This would be useful advice if the courts hadn’t spent the last 10 years shredding the very idea of class action lawsuits into little bits of fluff that corporate lawyers use to line rodent cages. Regulation is necessary to protect the consumer, and these companies are actively proving that argument.

I actually asked a friend of mine who is a cancer researcher about this and she kind of shrugged and said ‘yeah maybe’. Basically any time you’re forcing a group of cells to replicate more than they should you’re increasing your chance of cancer, but it pales in comparison to things like dipping.

The list probably goes Magic, Kareem, Kobe, West, Shaq, Baylor, Wilt, right? That’s not a list of the best players who ever played for the Lakers, but the best Lakers. Goddamnit it’s such a punch in the gut to see all those amazing players wasted on fuckstick Laker fans.

I do that too. My dentist keeps telling me I’ll get cancer. More than once I’ve ripped open a deep enough gash that my mouth has filled with blood while I’ve been in a social situation/at work. It’s gross, but I guess I’m just thankful that my OCD didn’t manifest itself as nose-picking or something more…

That’s a beautiful dream, and one I try to bring about every day.

I firmly believe that it does matter. Due to our batshit gun laws, you have to kind of ignore the fact that they’re heavily armed. These short-dicks go everywhere heavily armed. Right now they’re illegally trespassing on federal property and making a lot of noise about ‘revolution’ but again, if you ignore the guns,…
