Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101

[Uncle Festy]

@UncleFesty: I thought tomatoes were a fruit, rather than a veggetiebabble?

Well, yeah, but this way I get to pretend that I'm actually eating vegetables.

...*really needs to get Cloverfield on DVD already*

Cloooverfiiiield!

Why am I awake?

Because you're not asleep?

I just had what is possibly the worst instant Ramen EVER. The other day i had one that was really good, but couldn't be microwaved, so I made it on the stove. This one was microwaved... supposedly Shiitake Mushroom. Mushrooms tasted and felt like plastic and the noodles did, too.

I can hardly stand ramen usually now after eating it really often when i was younger, it can be good sometimes though. So are there like different ramen making companies? I thought there was just the one.

Well, in this day and age when exporting's becoming increasingly easy, a lot of the original Asian brands have been exporting a lot. In other words, there's a lot.

This one was called "Simply Asia". I didn't care for it much. It says it's from the makers of Thai Kitchen, which is not to be confused with A Taste of Thai. The latter costs about twice as much as the former does. I thought it meant it would be really good, but I was pretty disappointed. The lesson one has to learn is that.....actually, I don't know. I missed the lesson. I do that a lot.

I love ramen.
I usually have the Nissin Cup Noodles kind. But the shrimp ones never have enough shrimp. Or maybe I'm just really bad a picking Cup Noodles.
But if I cook it on the stove (which I hardly ever do anymore) it's the Nissin Top Ramen.
But that's also the only kind of ramen I've ever had...
(I hope I spelled nissin right...)

[SoD]

Whe-hee! I just super-glued my thumb and pointer together in the middle of English Studies class. Well, actualy, a rather attractive girl did...it makes typing rather difficult. Maybe I shouldn't've caved in...

[Serpentine]

I'd like to point out that I just said that it doesn't help the "Americans are stupid" stereotype.

I didn't even know you could get good instant ramen. For instant noodles, I have to stick to vietnamese pho or random korean imports.

[Jibar]

Damn it, now I want to put in Moulin Rouge, and it's 10pm here.

There is never a not good time for Moulin Rouge!

Not to be picky, but Twain was definitively American. He even fought in our civil war. Well, more like he became a brigand at 14 during the bloody affair, but that equates to pretty much the same thing. Now to go see if I can rassle up a biography of that crazy dude.

Ah yes, but he hated the French. That's good enough for us!

What about doing stupid/embarrassing things simply because they amuse you and by chance also amuse her?

Firstly, I wasn't doing anything about that statement. I'm Australian. And, I don't need to have to do stupid things to earn anyone's heart for, in another two weeksish, I'll be taken (sorry girls [and guys]! It's true...).

What about doing stupid/embarrassing things simply because they amuse you and by chance also amuse her?

Yeah, that'll happen as well. As well as doing stupid things because they seemed unstupid at the time.

[Flickerdart]

Ah, the Random Banter. How I miss thee. Between fending off bear attacks and chugging crazy amounts of vodka, I had no time for you. That, and I didn't have any internet access in Russia. But now I'm back and will never have to go through this mess again, because if I do they'll draft me into the army! Fun.

Side note. 34 hour days are not fun.

[Tempest Fennac]

What do you mean about 34 hour days, Flickerdart? Also, what happened on your trip that made it so bad, and why did you need to go there?

[SoD]

I'm assuming the 34 hour day had to do with changing time zones?

[randman22222]

I'm so glad I don't know all of these internet memes. I can't get songs I don't know into my head!

Except for...

Right. I shan't post any lyrics. But now it's in my head. Some real music should fix that...

*Starts Winamp.*

[Cristo Meyers]

It is, but it's a bit messy, and they have a habit of screaming when you try.

*glares pre-emptoraly at Rand*

I swear to God if you start singing that song...well, I'll probably cry...but after that...

[Player_Zero]

The banana phone one? That's old news. REAL old news. I mean, that's like 'All your base' news. Keep with the times people.

Also, I am now in £6615 of debt! Yay!

[Cristo Meyers]

Heh, I'm still in probably around twice that in debt, if I remember my conversions correctly.

[Serpentine]

I'm $18,710 =/ ...and then there's Honours, and this semester's unit.

You got your student loan already?
Actually, no, wait, that may be normal. I should check my payment schedule. And my bank balance. If student loan is in I can buy things without feeling guilty about it for a while again!

Holdy crap! Holdy crap! Holdy crap!

I just saw Bath's new avatar.

EPIC WIN.

Much jealousness. My friend postponed our collective nerdgasm till next week.

It's the backdoor Marxism in education that causes the problem (Google "Gramschi +long march through the institutions"). Elitism is the only way to run an education system that works. Otherwise you end up with whole faculties infested with filthy post-modernists. The only thing you can do then is burn it all and start from scratch (those meaning-o-phobic b*st*rds are as ineradicable than cockroaches!).

Enjoy "Hellboy 2". Review after pls.

Possible first post for the Muffinblog?

Interesting... need to have a proper read after I get back.

Because this is where I'm now going. Or at least, getting ready to go.
And don't worry, review will come.
Oh there will be such a review.
(Seriously, I really need to do a review. It's like the only career field I have any respect for. I need practice.)
