Do you all east sushi or sashimi? -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 11:11 16
- both if given the chance but have dieted from raw for wife's sake - SyrDragon Dec 7, 11:17
- I would be a bad travelling companion. I can't eat anything exotic. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 11:16 2
  - why is that? Did I miss news while I was gone from here -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 11:16
  - "was your dad a GI?" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:16
- A little this, some of that, don't forget those rolled cones and of course tempura -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 11:16
- I've had sashimi before (and tataki), but I prefer nigiri and maki -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:15
- Nope. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 11:15
- generally nigiri sushi, but both. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 11:14
- Sashimi is *alright*, but I prefer sushi. It's more dressed up. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 11:14
- i really just dont like it and wife gave me endless crap living in seattle she found it a waste :) but being a steak lover TX rules :) -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 11:13
- both. -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 11:12
- sushi, generally. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 11:12
- both. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 11:11 3
  - I *knew* it. nm - Dignan Dec 7, 11:12 2
    - :) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 11:13 1
      - Poor sushimusubi. nm - Dignan Dec 7, 11:14
"free range yogurt"? How far can marketing like this go? - CrankYanker Dec 7, 11:08 10
- milk cows have been bred for htose enourmous tits, way out of normal which gets infections constantly, so a free range cow would likely be a cow that - zeitgeist Dec 7, 11:21
- well, you know it's just milk right? and milk comes from cows. - Elf Andie Dec 7, 11:11 7
  - I know. Would those people rather buy free-range boots too? nevermind, I know the answer, yes they would. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 11:16 1
    - why is that bad? people choosing their meat and animal byproducts in a way that causes less distress to the animal. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 11:17
  - though free range dairy doesn't make a lot of sense. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 11:12 4
    - also, the descriptions I've heard of nipple pustules bursting and dripping into the milk supply are rather unappetizing. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:16
    - maybe they have one of those auto-milkers where the cows get to choose when to go in. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 11:15
    - well, i'm sure it's a lot more work. - Elf Andie Dec 7, 11:14
    - well, non-free-range chicken is subject to deplorable conditions, so logically, non-free-range cows suffer the same, right? heh -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:14
- You can taste the lack of stress! -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:09
sitwap Weekend Movie Poll - Brothers B -- nm - JenBro Dec 7, 11:06 2
- I finally watched Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison in their entirety, because I loved Zohan - con_carne Dec 7, 11:07 1
  - agree Happy is good and Billy was mostly to watch Mrs Sampras -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 11:16
"Terrorist dry run" email sender stands by story even after airline says he wasn't on the plane -- (link) - Reagen Dec 7, 11:04 9
- 11 muslim men on a plane! what else could they be doing? - mafic Dec 7, 11:11 1
  - the part that I like is that he's supposedly trying to tell the world about this, then said it was only for friends and family - Reagen Dec 7, 11:14
- I don't think terrorists doing a dry run would be so stupid as to draw attention to themselves in such a fashion. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 11:10 1
  - In his Steven Seagal-like fantasy screenwriter world, they do. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 11:10
- fear makes people do strange things. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 11:07 2

Tiger is 9 over now... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 7, 11:02 6
- He is *SO* gonna have to sweep the grand slam events this year. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 11:07 1
  - if only to keep up with his payoffs. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 11:09
- I don't know if I'm happy that Tiger's mistresses are being collectively refered to as 'hos. Yet I'm doing it, too. Bad Mop! -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 11:06 3
  - He's a golfer for crying out loud...I can't believe they're not calling them "holes." nm - Jim Dec 7, 11:09 1
    - Birdies? -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 11:10
  - Ho, Ho, Ho! It's the season. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 11:09
TFOX - on the "little gift" idea - I think it depends on what it is - sometimes something small and inexpensive has a "wow" factor - for instance - JenBro Dec 7, 11:00
ST Book Poll -- Finally finished "Fairyland", A- -- (link) - znufrii Dec 7, 11:00 4
- Reading - Gathering Storm - "Robert Jordan", Jeffrey Lang "Doomgate" and Jim Collins "Good to Great" -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 11:04 2
  - I have Gathering Storm sitting on my bookshelf. Will probably get started on it after the holidays. - znufrii Dec 7, 11:06 1
    - Yeah so much to wrap up - do far dont note much of a style different but then I dont really care just want to know what happens and still reads good -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 11:15
- am sorta reading Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, but....it's not funny. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 11:02
ST sushi poll: what are your favorite sushi fish? - con_carne Dec 7, 11:00 29
- battered and deepfried -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 11:11
- tuna. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 11:09
- wait. I had some sort of eel on rice once. Not sure if ti was cooked though, it might have been. - adventy97 Dec 7, 11:05 2
  - probably unagi. it's almost always grilled. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 11:06 1
    - perhaps this was it. I liked it. Of course, we were at a tofu restaurent in Ginza, and anything is better than tofu. - adventy97 Dec 7, 11:07
- akami, otoro, hamachi. uni (but only uber-fresh or it tastes like sea urchin gonad). -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 11:03
- o-toro tuna. And BBing, I am not a seafood person either, though I like sushi, but seafood in Japan tastes better and fresher than anything I've had - Roger More Dec 7, 11:03 1
  - this is correct. the sushi in Japan is unlike anywhere else. It's simply on another higher plane. So are the soy lattes. -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 11:06
- ST Corollary Poll -- Least favorite sushi - znufrii Dec 7, 11:02 8
  - *does not compute* -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 11:12
  - All of them, no chance I'd ever eat sushi. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 11:12
  - squid. ugh. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 11:10
  - Octopus. I like that better cooked. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 11:06 1
    - It *is* cooked -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 11:17
  - cod roe. And fresh sea urchin is wonderful -- nm - Roger More Dec 7, 11:04
  - I don't think I've ever bothered to try it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:03 1
    - (oh, and my least favourite is tempura yam. I thought I would like it, but as it turns out, NO.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:03
- Unagi (eel). Almost every type of roll I get has eel in it. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 11:02 2
  - Eel is in my top three sushis, I think. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 11:04
  - oh, right, I forgot to put eel on my list. It'd be tied with salmon, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:02
- artificial crab (well, real crab takes precedence, obvie) ... and tempura prawns. - Beryllium Dec 7, 11:01
- hamachi has taken over salmon of late. -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 11:01 6
  - Have you guys tried Minado in Natick? - SyrDragon Dec 7, 11:16
  - This is yellowtail, right? Ever try yellowtail collar (cooked, not in sushi form)? - con_carne Dec 7, 11:03 4
    - i've not had that. I'll see if my regular place has it tomorrow. Tuesday is sushi day for me. -- nm - Diva Dec 7, 11:08 1
      - Apparently, it's a common dish. A couple friends of mine turned me on to it. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 11:12
    - specifically young yellowtail, I believe. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 11:04 1
      - That would make sense. We seemed to get an entire piece of fish, and it all fit on a regular plate. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 11:09
- octopus, salmon, tuna, in that order. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 11:01
Submitted without comment: "Hurry Hard Condoms promote education, safety, awareness" -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:57
TV PSA: Tuesday: Better of Ted returns -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 10:55
sushi fact: salmon is not a traditional sushi fish because it more commonly had parasites, and there was no way to get rid of them. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:55 2
- ty should go to a place that serves fresh chicken rare. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:58
- my second favorite sushi, after octopus. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 10:56
OK, fine. You convinced me. I'm putting this everywhere in my house. (hmm, another repost; thanks to Stewie!) -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:55
LIR: bery/sushi Most sushi fish are not 'fresh' they are flash frozen very deeply (like -50F) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 10:51 11
- it's actually a health code thing in most of north america. there's one restaurant I know of back home that has an exemption, and it's the best - mafic Dec 7, 10:54 3
  - at least that's what the hookworms tell you to say. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:56 1
    - my lead pipe hurts. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:58
  - fda requires it in the us...nm - x Dec 7, 10:55
- also a good point. (That kills bacteria, right? rather than cooking it?) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:52 6
  - my understanding is it's mostly a parasite thing. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:53 3
    - I think that's a side benefit, checking for that is the main job of a sushi chef, but no, consider how much one of those tunas cost - zeitgeist Dec 7, 10:55
    - d'oh, yes, that's what I meant. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:54
    - that actually makes sense to me. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:53
  - I believe that would preserve the bacteria. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:52 1
    - (however, fish should not have bacteria in the meat) -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:53
If only Tiger wore his sun glasses...he may of seen clearer... -- nm - BAD Dec 7, 10:49 3
- What's the difference between a golf ball and an Escalade? - nubby Dec 7, 10:51 1
  - hahaaha -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 10:53
- ~My future so bright, I gotta wear shades~ -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 10:50
BB's - just one Tiger comment - both my parents were fans - mom particularly so - both avid golfers - if they were alive they'd be bummed. - JenBro Dec 7, 10:49 1
- My elderly mom is a fan of Tiger (and in fact started watching golf because of him) and just shrugs, its almost expected -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 10:53
Also, these things are scary true about Tokyo - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:49 2
- I think #4 is based on TAR. Also...Godzilla -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 10:51 1
  - I give you: Shibuya -- (link) - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:54 [flickr]
Jenbro, must be beautiful around there. I see you're close to SSM. I actually lived in Sudbury for about a year and a half - zork Dec 7, 10:47 3
- Yep - I am just needing to get my driver's license renewed with the new "enhanced" license that serves like a passport. I *heart* trips to Canada! - JenBro Dec 7, 10:50
- I thought living in Sudbury was more commonly referred to as "Doing time". -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:48 1
  - the difference between Sudbury and yogurt is that the yogurt has more culture. -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:49
REB2 Walt Disney, thanks! -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:44
USA Today: Daniel Radcliffe to do 'very sexy' (nude?) scene in next 'Harry Potter' -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:44 23
- Maybe if the movie was coming from vivid and called Harry Tw***er and the "some appropriate pr0n subtitle" - no way they hurt the francise like this -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:51
- *puts his nuts on Voldemort's drum set* -- nm - Harry si Dec 7, 10:50
- 'sexy' is relative, Jame Gumb. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 10:49
- Someone made this up. Harry and Hermione? What?! I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:48
- Nude. Never in a million years. Sorry, there's no surer way to kill a huge piece of the Potter audience -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 10:47 9
  - Rat poison in breakfast cereals. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:58
  - We watched Cider House Rules over the weekend. Tobey Maguire shirtless is the same image. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 10:53
  - [deleted] 5
    - Exactly. And the scenes in question should be filmed as written, I would think. - Jim Dec 7, 10:57 1
      - maybe they're filming the version where the word 'wand' is replaced by 'wang' -- nm - Roger More Dec 7, 11:00
    - i mean, there was sort of a nude scene in Goblet of Fire (in the prefects bath with Myrtle trying to peak underwater) - Elf Andie Dec 7, 10:53
    - Totally. For example, did you know that much of Frost/Nixon was filmed in the nude? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:50 1
      - Bravo! -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:52
  - "Mommy... what's Harry doing with his wand?" -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:47
- My bet: No way this is included. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:46 5
  - [deleted] 2
    - yes, I mean no way they include a nude scene. - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:50 1
      - I expect the Kings Crossing scene to be an NCIS-type nude. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:52
  - [deleted] 1
    - There's 2 nude scenes. King's Cross is one of them. (spoils) - Jim Dec 7, 10:52
- [deleted]
- To be sure, what is suggested in the article doesn't jive with what's in the book at all. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:45
- this is why you don't let slash writers into Hollywood. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:45

From hyde's post on B2, this video has me laughing hysterically -- (link) - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:43 [youtube] 14
- there's another japan/museums link for you back there on b2...nm - x Dec 7, 10:49 4
  - oh, excellent - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:51 3
    - just don't tell me you ate at denny's in tokyo, and we'll be cool....nm - x Dec 7, 10:57 2
      - There is a Denny's immediately next door to the hotel I stay at. - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:58 1
        
        ewwww -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:59
- ha! there was one of those near my old office in vancouver, but it was always an up. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:46
- That it's a down just compounds it. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:44
- probably an older people safety/facilitaing thing...most malls have ramps next to small sets of stairs maybe this is their solution -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:44 6
  - ramps are generally an accessibility thing. escalators don't really help things on wheels. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:46 5
    - wasnt referring to wheels in my old home town it was about older folks that just couldnt do stairs so ramp was needed -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:52 1
      - isn't it a federal law that public buildings need to be accessible? - loosilu Dec 7, 10:55
    - and slow people with canes aren't really helped by a escalators, esp. fast ones like that -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:48 2
      - funny thing is, this one isn't any faster than others. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 10:50
      - most places with escalators also have elevators for wheelchairs. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:49
B1 warning -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:41 1
- I'm glad people are taking this seriously -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:43
