Japanese beer is shit

[dimwit]

I remember she was married to that ultra creepy lady man music producer (the soy basted Phil Spector); maybe still is.

I could probably look that up, but why bother? I seem to recall that she had a shotgun wedding with some dancertard which lasted a few hours.

According to the interwebs she's コーターFG...

Namie Maruyama

20 September 1977, Naha, Japan

Height: 5' 2¼" (1.58 m)

Her mother, Emiko Taira, was murdered by her brother-in-law Kenji Tairo in March 1999

Her maternal grandmother was Italian. She was raised solely by her mother, Emiko Taira, as she had divorced when Amuro was 4 years old. Taira worked as a nursery school employee and bar hostess to support her three children. Through her mother's side, Amuro is one quarter Italian.

Spouse (1). Masaharu "Sam" Maruyama, (22 October 1997 - 2002)

Meh, she's still bangable and her music was decent enough...but she's on the fast track to dragon lady.

Here's a beer argument for kurogane.

Man Shoots Friend For Bringing Him the Wrong Brand of Beer

Beer drinkers are fiercely loyal to their brands of choice, as evidenced by this story out of New Orleans: "An argument between years-long friends over which beer is better —Budweiser or Busch — ended Saturday in Harvey with a shotgun blast," says NOLA.com.

Is worse than coke zeros and light combined...

[J.A.F.O]

What the fuck it THAT? Matcha Coke ?!?

[wagyl]

Naah, it is just a reduced sugar/stevia sweetened coke, depending on the market.

In my opinion, all coke is shit. I have never liked it. One product I did try, which was a faux Brazilian themed creation for sale for a limited period during FIFA last year, was Cafe do Cola. Basically black iced coffee and lemon squash, it got awarded a covetted wagyl two thumbs up!

[Coligny]

Some sort of vegetal sugar replacement erztaz coke...

The plant used Traduce sugar use is stevia...

I'll give it two thumb down (syndrome)

[Samurai_Jerk]

I noticed that green coke the other day and wondered what the fuck it was. When I saw stevia on the label I gave it a pass. I can't stand the stuff.

[Coligny]

Unlike coke light who only juster taste Coke with the wrong sugar.
Coke life manage to taste like bubbly sugary water with the wrong sugar... The little bite back/ bitterness of coke is absent...

Tropicana, McVitie’s and Andrex among hundreds of supermarket products that have shrunk in size

Andrex said it had invested significantly in improving the strength and softness of its toilet roll.

“Reducing the roll by a very small number of sheets (this equates to five to six wiping occasions) has helped make this multi-million pound investment possible,”Andrex said.

But the Price Remains The Same???? I find that one really disturbing as an economic trend. My Calbee Usu-shio potato chips have been disappearing at an alarming rate the past few years, and last visit I saw they have brought out the Mini Bag, sized like those old Old Dutch Variety Packs from when we wuz chilluns.

Good find there, Russell.

Yes, prices have not decreased.

Hidden inflation...

[kurogane]

Aha! Even from reading The Economist I can never quite get my head around that one, but I get that there is more to it than the money grubbing skullduggery of rapacious capitalist parasites. Is that one of those ones where costs constantly and unavoidably increase even in the midst of broader general deflation or stagnation? And does that mean workers can start working 48 minutes for every hour they're paid?

[Russell]

Prepare yourself for rolls of toilet paper that give you only one wiping occasion...

[wagyl]

I see that Russell did not go to Catholic school and did not receive the wisdom of the nuns.

Toilet paper has two sides, you know.

That is deeper than a Zen koan.

I'm still more disturbed by those who seem to either not wipe at all or AFTER the washlet has blasted their dingle-berries into rorschach tests for the next guy who puts the seat up.

How do you know this? Do you spy on people while they're taking a shit?

[kurogane]

Are people not wiping because they're caveman wannabes or can a washlet thingy actually dry your crack too?
(FYI, I haven't used a washlet since 1993-ish)

[wagyl]

Some blow air as well as water. I doubt that any are comprehensive.

After years of resisting, I have come around to the view that dry wiping with paper only is not ideal, and I allow a suitable amount of moistening by the magic spewing washlet wand before wiping. There is visible improvement in results.

The posts lately are more shit than Japanese beer.

If they were wiping before they used the washlet, there wouldn't be drippy shit on the underside of the seat?

[Samurai_Jerk]

If they were wiping before they used the washlet

What would be the point of that? Do you dry your hands before you wash them?

5 of 10, maybe? That's why Japanese women prefer it if we leave the seat up after. It shows we did.
