• So I did make a small adventure

  Some of you guys that know me may remember my crazy story from March of 2005 when me and my buddy Carl went to Mitsuwa Supermarket in Edgewater, NJ and bought a giant (and expensive) bottle of sake, drank it all in the parking lot, and somehow made our way out to Queens in New York City-- and the story goes even longer than that, which gets progressively crazier to the point where if I told you the story now, you would never believe me.  Trust me thought, I know alot of you have some stories that are so crazy, you just can't make that shit up at all.

  
  

  I went back there during the weekend, trying to get a taste of J-Pan again.

  Just some fat Asian dude.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  I bought several packs of onigiri.... you have no idea how delicious these things are.  Unfortunately, shit like this overseas costs less than half the price of what I bought it for.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  I haven't the slightest clue what this is called, but its pretty much close to being wonderful.  Its like a crepe bread with sweet red bean paste in it.  I bought like 10 of these and finished all of it by the end of the day.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  I just thought this was amusing.  And New Jersey still sucks, sorry folks.  But its true.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  If you get a chance, try one of these Umeshu plum wines.  Yes, those are actual plums floating on the bottom.  So after you finish the bottle-- try eating one of those plums.  Its almost like soaking fruit overnight in a bowl of 99 Berries.

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  On the way home, I witnessed the funniest shit for the day (and also how stupid humans can be).  In NJ, all pumps are full-service, which means you have to wait 30 minutes before the attendant gets the clue that you need gas in your car (sorry, I just can't stand the state of NJ).  BUT.... Pennsylvania has by far the worst drivers (and worst roads) along the north-east coast.

  
  

  So this chick here, realizing she got on the wrong side for the pump, decides to flip a bitch and back into the pump, which to her was the most logical thing to do (while everyone else is laughing).  By the time she got to the pump, she puts her card into the machine and tries to fill up the car by herself while the attendant is looking at her like she's stupid (which isn't too far from the truth).  So she's screaming at the attendant b/c the pump isn't activated, while the attendant keeps pointing to the giganting bold sign above the pump that says "Full Service Pump", and she keeps giving him the deer-in-headlights look.  At this point, everyone has their windows down laughing at her, so she gets pissy and drives off, almost crashing into every single car on the way out.

  
  

  Fucking Pennsylvania drivers, I swear.  Don't get mad at me, you know its true-- if you're from PA, you're a shitty driver.  If you're a good driver from PA, then you know its true that everyone else in PA is a shitty driver.
