I’d love that Led Zeppelin tape…

I didn’t know any of that about Tiger Woods. Go figure. The media got me on that one…

The binary bubbles are no one’s friend. I went to high school with a (snowy white) girl born in South Africa. She was consistantly tempted by the ‘African American’ bubble.

WC – my dad was a financial something-or-another for one of the American imperialistic companies that provided various contract services for the Saudi government. These days you would qualify them as “war profiteers”, but since at the time there was no war happening, they were simply “tax evaders”.

I could write a lot about my young childhood in Kingdom Saud, from the break dance contests with young Saudi princes (then again, who wasn’t a prince?) and their crews who drove Iroc-Z’s and cruised our junior high during quitting time, to the heartbreak and despair that was Dhahran Little League baseball, to the proliferation of $1.25 pirate cassette tapes that would include all of Led Zeppelin II and a few songs from Led Zeppelin thrown in for good measure, complete with re-packaged album art and re-printed lyrics that were inevitably lost in translation (i.e. “With a purring under bella and a fifty scent cat…Living, Loving, Maid (She’s joking woman)”)

Flynn: exposure to the yellow-and-black striped spandex unitard for Jesus at such a tender age is enough to scar the most hardened soul for life.

ZenKimchi – I meant to add you under “Food Blogs” but mis-categorized it. But since you’re threatening haggis…

My first real ‘rock and roll’ concert was Dave’s Big Deluxe

skankin baby!

best concert I ever saw in Tucson was Ozomatli and Santana, right before that god awful ‘duets’ album came out and ruined Santana forever. Ozo stole the show anyway.

Being listed under a heading saying I have a Bizarrely Compulsive Fascinations with Meat is one of the highest honors I’ve ever received.

Just sitting down to relate my experience of making my own haggis…

Whoa! I got tom yum MAMA but I did not know there was tom kha kai, or whichever version is like coconut milk. Must go back to the store and hunt this down. Although why did it never occur to me to add coconut milk on my own?

Nong Shim rocks! Especially kim chee flavor. They also make good udon. Quality stuff with little faux fish slices.

How/why were you in Saudi Arabia? Parent work as a chemist or some such? That’s usually the story with other folks I know who’ve spent some time there.

MR – I get all my ramen from mostly Uwajimaya, Fubonn, with a few packages now and then from Thanh Thao on 65th/Sandy and the Lao store on Killingsworth/I-5.

eatdrinknbmerry – I think you’re talking about MAMA brand – they are notorious for their 2/3 scale ramen. They also have a “Creamy Tom Yum” flavor (that’s actually full scale size) that is supposed to mimic Tom Kha Kai that actually uses non-dairy creamer to produce the creaminess. That is so wrong that I don’t want to be right.

GC, nice entertaining post. I feel like we’re friends now. *high-5*

(1) Sadly, I have the same bday as Jon Bon Jovi.

(2) Kickball rocks.

(3) I love instant ramen too but I am afraid to eat it now. Especially the japanese brands that proudly boast their 4,000+ mg of sodium an x amount of trans fats. As a ghetto child, we didn’t get lunchables, chips ahoy or doritos like most kids did. Our snack of choice was crushed up chinese kung fu ramen with season packet added. We’d close the bag w/ our fist grip and shake it, making sure that all morsels of msg cover each broken piece of dried ramen. it was the best. As for korean instant noodles, i have to agree with you. they make some really good stuff. how do you like thai instant noodles? my favorite is this particular one…green package, bbq duck flavored… once i find it i will send you a photo. it’s awesome.

(4) Fuck. Beautiful word. I agree… it is the swiss army knife of all words – highly versatile. http://justin.justnet.com.au/rudestuff/uses-of-the-word-fuck.html

(5) I thought you were full vietnamese – you’ve got a lot of knowledge of Viet food. Speaking of which, my gf and i are trying to go there for x’mas to eat.

Granted, I haven’t dug deeply yet, but this is my favorite post I’ve come across.

Do you order from Ramen Depot? I’ve been trying to put together a $100 order and can’t quite convince gf that it is a good idea.
