Yes thinly sliced and fried Spam is enjoyed as bacon with, as you've seen Pandisal, or the standard eggs and rice.
I myself enjoy the bread toasted with butter and that's it.

Worst (novelty-bad) meal I've ever made:

- Twinkie
- spray cheese
- hotdog weener

1. Suck filling out of Twinkie (that's dessert).
2. Stuff weener in Twinkie, nuke.
3. Apply spray cheese.
4. Dig in.

TRaffic Jammer 02-05-07 01:56 PM

Dude, you cake wrapped a hotdog?

I don't know who to feel more sorry for. You, or us the readers.

I was going to make lunch, but now I'm not hungry.

2 pieces of toasted twelve grain bread
renee's ceasar salad dressing (as a spread)
1 piece of thinly sliced havarti cheese
1 garlic dill pickle thinly sliced into strips

combine and enjoy! it sounds terrible but it's a really tasty sandwhich.

When I was in Oman over new years and on our day of 4 wheeling we had some pretty terrible sandwiches... ugh... let me see if I can remember what was in them:

'wonder' style bread- Light as air, tasteless and falling-to-peices
Chunk Tuna with a very odd colour
Sardines in tomato paste
pickles
La Vache qui Rite style cheese.

We had no cutlery so we just had to kind of make a pile and squeeze it between the peices of bread, which would then crumble in with the ingredients.


urgh... I ate like 3. We had bought a ton of pita and hummous but we left them at the hotel by mistake.

We had sesame snaps for dessert, but unlike our sesame snaps which are 4 little snaps, these ones were just one big snap, with not that much sesame and lots of sugar. So every bite pretty much removed a filling. Hooray!

Oman is probably the only place you will find a Sega Mega Drive new in stores and in 2004 packaging. I was so close to buying it!

If you want old skool video game stuff head to Indonesia and Thailand. Its nuts at the markets there with stuff brand new in packages and never touched. I almost had to grab a turbografix 16 and a jaguar but maintained control.

Shiznaz 02-05-07 04:26 PM

If I'd seen a game gear I would have bought it and it would have caught fire already (like my previous two game gears), but since I was travelling 'carry-on only' I didn't have room to shove an antiquated consoles in there. Maybe next time...

shapelike 02-05-07 04:29 PM

I wanted one of these so bad it hurt:

Turboexpress was AWESOME. Unfortunately mine died years ago but I would buy one again so quick it would make the head spin.

Wow I didn't think anyone knew about that thing! It was way more rare than the console. I have one and I still have the box! It is not for sale. It is so awesome. I have Turbo Graffix 16 too. The games are so weird in the best possible way. A caveman with a giant head that walks around headbutting things (Bonk's Adventure/Revenge)? A mole with a giant foot that walks around kicking things (Impossimole)? World Sports Baseball is still my favourite baseball video game gameplay wise. You used to be able to plug in up to 5 controllers for some games which was super awesome. Unfortuneately I think I have only one reliable controller. Otherwise I'd organize a tournament. I have to go to my parents' house and dig that thing out.

Cool. Where do you work? I wonder if I have delivered things there? Kind of a long shot but you never know.

Caspar's back in town? Crazy.
Oh yeah..the best part of this film is when the skid lookin dude is towing his girl around on her rollerblades...tearin thru traffic...cut to interview..he mentions how he is super skilled and is the fastest thing on 2 wheels...fade in to same dude with a busted arm...priceless!

HA! Hi-larious. I'll throw some popcorn in my mess' bag ;) I'm working another half day tomorrow, mayhaps I'll drop by after that.

Hey Robin. You ain't the only one around these parts making triple posts! What say you to that good sir?

why the downward pointing stem? how can you see your way around in traffic?

Fair enough. The thing is that even though the stem is pointing down it is raised up quite a bit and the actual height of the bars is about equivalent to a straight ahead stem all the way down, or even raised a bit. Why that stem? Because it looks hawt. Honestly I don't think that's too ridiculous. It depends on the dude's position when he rides it. If he's got a goofy position and is way too low then yeah something is wrong. The thing is sometimes bike setups can be deceiving. This one surprised me the first time I saw it:

http://velospace.org/node/303

Look at the drop from saddle to bars on this bike! But then look at the pic of the guy taking his own picture from a reflection and notice that he's riding pretty upright. He has long limbs. This is just my really long way of saying you never know from just looking at someone's bike. God I need to stop posting I swear this is probably it for me today :) Cheers dudes

It's on 'til the break of dawn, *****! You may have trumped my three-peat with your 4-play, but I'll get you next time Gadget, next time!

And yes, he did just say "4-play".

I've been doing a bit of web design work lately, here's some related bike porn (the rider is Phil @ Cycle Therapy).

Wow, Phil's lookin' kinda creepy in that middle pic.

shapelike 02-05-07 10:15 PM

In the full photo he's bunny hopping a guy's head. Consider that expression concentration and the consideration of ramifications.
