Vegemite was too easy. My package included Vegemite Cheesybite, which sounded really bad. The lucky recipients also got those musk lifesavers and Pascall Pineapple Lumps, which are top-tier.
Agreed. The Pineapple Lumps alone make up for the Cheesybite.

I had woods porn in the early 90s in a fairly suburban area, but I had no idea that this was some kind of universal shared experience.
Hell, there was a whole episode of Assassination Classroom about it last year or so, and that's anime straight out of Japan.

My woods porn was a couple of magazines behind the shrubs next to a Catholic church, when I was in sixth grade, maybe, at the attached school. Kind of a horrifying thing to find there, of all places, and during recess, no less.

At least in the UK you can't still technically buy codine syrup over the counter in pharmacies for treatment of coughs and morphine and clay for Digestive issues.
I bought some OTC (but available only at pharmacies) Panadeine Plus in NZ a while back ("Higher Dose Codeine"), each dose containing 30 mg codeine phosphate and 1000 mg paracetamol. It's pretty good for pain; I took some in absolute desperation after several weeks of bronchitis hoping it would have some effect on my cough, but no dice. :( I don't recall it affecting me like the same-dosage Tylenol 3s did after my foot surgery.

Also, bitter almonds is the flavor of maraschino cherries, if that helps. Most cherry-flavored sweets have a good dollop of bitter-almond flavor. Or is it cyanide? :iiam:

From almost ten pages back, but bitter almonds are used all the time in pastries and cakes, just not in the US according to Wikipedia.
The pastries at my local Italian bakeries (huge Italian-American population in my area) come in three flavors: vanilla, (bitter) almond, or nothing at all. :sad:

My grandma had a temporary colostomy bag at one point in between intestional surgeries and the little tri-fold pamphlet they gave her about it said in as polite and professional language as possible not to gently caress the hole. Apparently it's common enough to make the pamphlet.
I don't know--I just read one from the good folks at Beth Israel that says your partner "needs to know that sexual activity will not harm the stoma." This could be, shall we say, misconstrued.

Kinda late to the weird meat discussion, but there's a place in the Embarcadero in San Fran that will sell you a paper cup full of meat for like $3.
There are a couple places in La Boqueria in Barcelona, too. There's little better to spend 4 euros on than a cup of jamón ibérico.

I watched a few of these last night and wondered where "Scatman" was. It is the beginning of video 5. Now I need to see which video contains "Apache", since someone has probably already suggested it.
Do any of them feature Ievan Polkka yet? ("That leek-twirling song".)

In the original Japanese game, dekameron would've been written in Katakana, which the translator would've recognized as signifying that the name was a foreign term written in Japanese letters, and not the Japanese word mega melon.
But "melon" is a foreign term always written in katakana anyway, and "deka[i]" is often written in katakana for effect.

We wanted to go on a few particular tours during our honeymoon, but the dates weren't jibing with what was in the brochure. We found a travel agent who not only organized our (fairly complex) flights and multiple hotels, but also booked the tours we wanted on the days we wanted them. It all went perfectly.

For the past ten years or so, I've used a different travel agent who specializes in trips to Japan to book my annual visits, and recommend her to my colleagues, too. Consolidators have the best prices, hands down. I take care of the lodging, etc. myself.

Well, that's my travel agent story. Have a great weekend.

Does someone have that awful photo of a newly pregnant woman next to a chalkboard of names, each more hideous than the one before, with all but the last terrible name crossed out? More specifically, if anyone knows where to find that plus the post responding to it that offered suggestions like "Autysm"--that's the best part. Maybe I should ask in the quote thread, too.
