Part 2 of the sticky rice saga...

I forgot to mention that it's the sticky rice balls the "onigiri" that the Japanese anime cartoon people are often eating while they're walking. I don't care what the English dub over says. They ain't DONUTS... or MEATBALLS. Out here, if you wanna get donuts, you go to Mister Donut... or as the locals call it, MisuDo. I remember the first time I heard "MisuDo." I was like "Miss who?"

Mad props out to Kat-chan for the comment about the onigiri. Actually, it probably more like a full blown post. And Japanese ingenuity indeed. It doesn't matter where you go. If you order fried rice, it'll come served as a dome. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you might go to a restaurant that puts a little toothpick flag on top. And if you're still a kid and order the kids' special, you get that with a little tempura shrimp all served on a bullet train (shinkansen) dish. But, shoot, I want some of that bomb umeboshi. I'm guessin that it won't pass through customs inspection though. If Naomi Sato gets a contract with Kewpie mayonaisse though, I can learn how to make that stuff from watching "san-pun-kukkingu."

About Seri's comment, I read the word "inane" like "ee-nah-neh." I thought it was a Japanese word and so I read it like one. Sigh. How am I ever going to get through apps?
