Drink Yourself Beautiful

The Sake Association is sponsoring a lecture on the 21st of the month about Sake Therapy, part of which includes information on how drinking sake helps your looks. The lecture will explain how, with over a hundred active ingredients, sake can help your skin, improve your circulation, slow down ageing and also help your hair grow back. It's 2,000 yen to hear everything you've ever wanted to hear about slugging back booze but attendance at the lecture is limited to women.

That's funny, Greji and I run workshops on "Drinking Yourself Smart" and "Drinking Yourself Sophisticated". I can't remember which of us runs which workshop though...

Whatever pseudoscience claptrap that will help them sell more sake can't be bad marketing for the Wizard of OZ running this show.

I'm signing up for the "Drink yourself broke" and "Drink yourself drunk" lectures.

The lecture will explain how... sake can help... your hair grow back.


I'm calling bullshit on that claim. It never helped mine grow back.

Ahh Come on Gil! You know that your hair problem comes from worrying about that Yakitori candidate of an avatar you're sporting. Fortunately, they're not in the same league as the Dodgers! LA is this year's new mean machine!
:p

The Dodgers, huh? Well, if nothing else, they've got the "we-just-fired-Grady Little" mojo working for them--last team to do that won the Series the year after (it does beg the question of how smart the front office could be if they hired him in the first place, but let's not get technical).

I don't know if sake can make a woman young and beautiful, but I can testify sake has the magical power to make an ordinarily shy person -- for example, a Korean engineering student at my nearby university -- stand up and sing "You Are My Sunshine" or ABBA's "Dancing Queen" in front of a hundred perfect strangers, who are also knocking back the juice and waiting their turn to belt out "I Am the Walrus" at the top of their lungs.

One night sake's magical power allowed me to stand up on Karaoke Night and regale a hundred mostly Asian strangers with "Lydia The Tattooed Lady":

... when her robe is unfurled
She will show you the world
If you'll stand up and tellerwhere
For a dime you can see
Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington Crossing the Delaware

Here is Grover Whelan
Unveilin the Trylon
Over on the West Coast
We have Treasure Island
Here's Nijinsky a-doin the Rhumba
Here's her Social Security Nhumba

I have often been misunderstood in my life, but never so profoundly misunderstood by so many confused-looking people at one time. Apparently Asians are very unfamiliar with this song, although it was available on the machine.

One Friday night I dined at this sushi joint, but the Karaoke was gone. I asked the occidental waitress what had happened, and she blushed and said that one night a patron, supercharged with much sake, had thrown a chair through the plate glass window. He was apparently outraged that after waiting 20 minutes for his turn to sing "You Are My Sunshine," somebody else was called to the microphone and sang it first.

Enjoyable tale Vleeptron Dude and welcome to the boards.

Speaking from MUCH experience, I can verify that sake does make women young and beautiful... the more I drink, the younger and more beautiful they get ;)

Yes, sake DOES have THAT magical power! Here's a fellow who's knocked back six or seven. Watch this video to the very end to see where his Quest for Romance gets him:

I think that guy's been doing more than just drinking sake.
