   96!
   I didn’t know Ramen Noodles were created in response to hunger. That’s interesting.

   Actually, shouldn’t he be raising in three days, before floating back home on a bowl of Ramen noodles?

   What was his birthday? We need a to make Andomas. The less commercialized version of xmas. And the date of his death could be Andoster (instead of Easter).

   Yes…Ramen…both to the memory of the unfortunately departed inventor of the Ramen noodles…which are very popular with my companion, in OUR household…and of course, Ramen to you Bob for actually making it through Grad school, relatively unscathed, on such a diet!

   At the risk of being disrespectful…even somewhat insolent…or cruel(?)…certainly, not my intention…I couldn’t…warped fuckhead that I am (leftover sado/masochism?)…notice that he was also described as being a procrastinator. Of course, I wouldn’t know much about that designation! [Heh, heh!]
   So what’s my point?
   I couldn’t help noticing that his name seemed to oddly morph into a sort of unfinished statement:
   “Momofuku Ando” mentally morphed into…
   “Mama, fuck U…and, O(h)…” leaving the name appear as an unfinished…or, dare I say…’procrastinated’ statement; and alas, to remain so…
   evermore!

   No…I’m completely ’sober’…just sipping on my 4th cup of java…
   Maybe it’s just an ‘after effect’ of reading about all the conflict going on here at GifS…
   and in the rest of this ass-kicking, fucking, world!
   “…and that’s OK” [was it Stuart Smalley?]

   It (my noodling here) might also be the result of an impending dread in anticipation of tomorrow’s revelation by our Prime Ass-kicker President’s…you know…Chimpy McNoodle-brain?…’plan’ for fucking over ever more young people’s lives, if he decides to send more troops to Iraq. And of course, to additionally throw another Billion dollars into the Iraqi black hole winds, to help the totally unknown.
   No Ramens, indeed, for that…
   “Off his Noodle”, fuckhead!
   Is HE now, perhaps, getting delusional directions from the “The Flying Spaghetti Monster”?
   “OK…would someone, PLEASE pass the Parmesan!…
   What meatballs!…?”

   Wow, ChuckA, that was some stream-of-consciousness comment…

   And then there’s the Evil Bowtie Pasta Monster, who fell from grace when the dog knocked the dish of the great table in the Kitchen. The havoc thus sowed upon humanity is, incalculable.

   Actually, it was Ando who found the world’s oldest pot noodles (see here, but he hid them so that he could copy the idea and pretend that he had invented them.

   Interestingly enough, he actually found the pot noodles whilst hunting for dinosaur relics in Egypt, buried under the wall the Egyptians had built 5,000 years ago to keep dinosaurs out (see here.)

   There is some mystery how his original find came to be reburied in China, but rumour has it that he was a member of a widespread cult situated there that worshipped the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and they might well be the reason for it.

   One thing’s for sure; Ando is now resting in the blessed tentacles of the FSM.

   This site is so funny how we can be arguing about war in one post thread, and talking about noodles in another. LOLOLOL! That’s why I like this place so much.

    Whether he’s feasting on marinara sauce or just a marinara “flavor packet”, I’m sure the FSM looks on with approval

    Hmmm…and the NASCAR broadcast announcer describes…
    “I’ts the last lap, ladies and jellybeans…with Dick Trickle…
    ‘coming’ up on the rear!”

    Do you remember those cats that used to sing at airports? I think they were singing, Hare Ramen, Hare Ramen, Ramen Krishna, Ramen Krishna. Over and over again and again

    Gee, Jimmer…
    And I always thought they were just some weirdos related to a guy mamed Raymon(d?)Krishner. You know…like a guy who was looking for an airport gig; and had always been turned down because of his hippie appearance…and his constant tambourine playing whilst panhandling the bewildered tourists. [Expecially the ones stranded from a snow storm...trying to get some rest!]
    Yeah…like, they kept chanting:
    “Hire Raymon!…Hire Raymon!…
    Raymon Krishner!…Raymon Krishner!…
    Hurry!…Hurry!…Hire Krishner!…
    Yo, Mama!”
    NO???
    Sorry!…Wrong Raymon!

    Actually those are the guys. How I wish now that they had prevailed and not the suicide bombers and homeland security.
