to be fair,those are OL panties... OL is short for Office Lady (usually 22+)

OP: hit me up if you want to chill this weekend. I live near shinjuku (making the assumption you're in tokyo)

I'm asian, but still, that last one is so disturbing

It's dead. The salt causes some sort of reaction that causes the muscles to twitch. There's worse stuff than that. Check out some of the stuff on YouTube where people eat seafood that's still alive. Apparently it's a delicacy in parts of Japan. Sushi does not need to be THAT fresh. :thumbsdown:

Not just Japan, most of Asia.

I've eaten the stuff. It's great.

Color me relieved! There's certainly nothing weird about buying used panties in a vending machine if they are the revered and respected Office Lady brand, and only ever covered the taints of 22+ year olds!

In that case, put me down for two! :p

Could you see Godzilla rampaging the landscape from your plane window as you flew past?

Meh, I'll pass. My family is British. According to their cooking style, if it's not burnt to a crisp it's not done yet.

. . . Or boiled into submission. :p

Get yourself some Funazushi!

Funazushi is a rare type of nare-zushi still prepared near Lake Biwa, Shiga Prefecture. Eighteen generations of the Kitamura family have been preparing the dish at Kitashina since 1619.

Fresh funa are scaled and gutted through their gills keeping the body (and often the roe) of the fish intact. The fish are then packed with salt and aged for a year before being repacked annually in rice for up to four years. The resulting fermented dish may be served sliced thin or used as an ingredient in other dishes

Nomnom. 5 year old un-refrigerated fish! It's got be to good!
