High quality, tasteful waste

Post by Green Gibbon! »

I think at some point recently I lamented the lack of any banana split flavor cereals on the market.

Image

Then I found these on sale at MaxValu. The left bag is choco & banana flavor while the right bag is strawberry & custard. Put those two together and you have a pretty close approximation of Banana Split Crunch.

Image

Beautiful, no? Taste is okay, but it's not nearly sweet enough. The sugar content I think is about half what any self-respecting American cereal would have.

Image

These, on the other hand, are awesome. Tony should be taking notes.


Image

This, of course, is not cereal. Nintendo sent it to me for free as thanks for being a consumer whore last year. It is a reproduction of the original Ball Game & Watch. I think it's identical to the original except for the battery compartment and the telltale Club Nintendo logo on the back.

Image

First try. I suck.

Image

That's a little better. I think I may have lost deliberately out of boredom. It gets faster up until 100, then it slows down again. I haven't tried Game B yet.

Image

Sitting on the shelf next to my Club Nintendo Star Tenbillion. I can't figure out how to set the clock.


Image

This struck me as a piss poor idea. I'm waiting to get desperate enough to try it. Will probably happen this week, Wednesday or Thursday I wager.

Image

From a cheap wastebasket I picked up. Engrish is abundant in these parts, but most of it is pretty uninteresting and I'm highly tolerant of it in general as one who is capable of no better when speaking in Japanese. But I thought this one was great.

I still don't understand what the hell you're doing over there to begin with. Are you a foreign exchange student (you seem a bit old for that), or did you really just up and decide you wanted to spend the rest of your life in grorious Nippon? How are you even surviving over there? Do you actually have a job, or do you just subsist on whatever mystery cereals and packages you manage to swipe from crowded bazaars?

I've wondered the same thing.

Well nothing of the sort can go on the front page, since it's broken.

*innocent whistle*

(I forget when it stopped happening - sometime around the last site overhaul - but there used to be blog posts about damn near anything by the entire staff on the front page once a week or so whether something was updated or not)

I don't get it



(Also, for what it's worth, I think GG! is exactly the kind of person who would ignore the naysaying of his peers (as well as all reason) and move to Japan on a whim, and of that I am in envy)

Call me an idiot (you will, whether I'm right or not), but I think I recall that GG! is some kind of artist; he probably took a job there.
