10/31/2005: Salmon plane
xoB sends along this item, and notes from the Seattle Times. The good news? For years and years, Alaskan salmon has ridden in the bellies of Alaska Airlines passenger jets to the rest of the hungry world. They claim they can catch a salmon in Alaska and have it on a plate in a NYC restaurant within 24 hours, fresh not frozen. And so finally they have taken to pointing this out. They've painted up this "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon" to do so. The bad news? Mostly paid for by taxpayers. Ah well, having footed the bill now let's enjoy this piece of work. It's pretty wild: |

I'm quite certain my tax dollars have been used for dumber things.
Fly high, Salmon-Thirty-Salmon! Fly proud!

Sake does mean salmon AND it means liquor (depends on the character used to write it). They are homonyms (sort of). There are over 3000 possible syllabeles in English but only 101 syllabeles in Japanese. This means Japanese has a monster load of homonyms, it is a serious pain in the ass for those of us trying to learn the language. Sake does NOT mean "rice wine" sake is just the Japanese word for general alcohol/liquor. If you want to say "rice wine" you should say "Nihon-shu" (means literally "Japanese liquor") That concludes today's Japanese lesson (my Japanese teacher would laugh her ass off if she knew "I" was trying to teach Japanese ). OH YEAH.... Cool plane!!!

Raw seafood? Why not put two slugs in a revolver, spin the cylinder and suck the barrel.
People...there is absolutely nothing on the menu you can eat that's more dangerous than raw seafood!

Nigiri... there I said it.

Is that the suggested serving size of (whatever that hot green mustard is called -- wasabi)? Does anyone actually ever run out of that stuff before they're done eating it?
