Sushi needs no appliance. It is perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with one's fingers. Fingers make the dunk in soy sauce so much easier (don't dunk the rice, dunk the giraffe. Don't forget what you are seasoning.) (Don't forget to let a drop drip off.)

Chopsticks are okay, but they're really only used by gaijin who don't know what the fuck they're doing, though they're making an effort.

A fork? With sushi? Sorry, Paul, my man, but that's neither Kosher nor Halal. Pretty much? A Hunt's move.

I wonder if my fake sushi was made by fake Japanese?

It was made by the ghost of Iron Eyes Cody while attempting to infiltrate yet another race/nationality.

Zing!

Hey Choop, do you have anything to back up your "use your fingers" stance, or is it just a personal decision you made?  'Cause much of the sushi I eat is absolutely impossible to eat with your hands, unless you want 7 kinds of messy smeared all over you.

Also, to clarify, the sushi I ate was definitely served by the fake Japanese - they totally didn't care that they were actually Indonesian.  They were unapologetic.  But really I care not - it's about quality.

That's about as close as I can get you right now. Maybe I'll filter through that later.

It is definitely normal to eat sushi with the fingers. But apparently also in Japan you are supposed to eat it in one bite, which is impossible in America because of course they make the pieces twice as big. So I wouldn't sweat the food rules of other cultures when you are not eating in their country, you know?

That's worth a can.

Alton says it can be eaten with the fingers and dammit that's good enough for me. Plus then it's easier to avoid accidentally pointed with the chopsticks. Which I understand is a no-no.

One time I was visiting some friends in Boulder and we decided to take mushrooms (me and one person I was visiting).  We then went to one of those really lame Chinese restaraunts where they make the food in front of you on the table (it was lame because it was a chain, the name escapes me right now).  We went with me and my friend tripping, my friends girlfriend and her mom, who would not care that we were tripping, but also did not know, although they new something was up.  We met my friends gf's uncle and new wife at the restaurant.  Well, my friends gf and her mom went in ahead of us, while I parked the car.  Me and my friend walked in later, and instantly everything looked like mirrors to me.  The waitress was hell of weirded out by us, and I used this chance to act real strung out.  I said something to the effect of "Hey man, we are meeting some cats" really slow.  She had no idea what we were talking about, obviously, and let us back to look for the people we were meeting.  Then we got to the table, and the uncle and new aunt were from Texas, and I am from Oklahoma, so they tried to make some conversation with me about that, but it was just not working.  My friends gf was a vegetarian (Still is, along with me and the friend now), and asked for friend rice with no chicken (apparently there was no plain fried rice).  Anyways, me and my friend and his gf end up getting in an argument with the uncle for what seemed like an eternity.  Basically, since this story is going nowhere, the chef was Mexican, but trying to pull of Chinese I guess.  I laughed about this and asked the guy about it, but apparently this is not something you are supposed to do because it is rude.  I had no idea.  Also, sitting within 2 feet of a grill top when you are on a drug that makes you hotter than usual anyways is a horrible idea.

Hint: almost no story about dropping mushrooms is as interesting to others as it was to you.

Sorry, I am on drugs and sleep deprivation right now.  I have said this alot, probably because of the fact that I am.  Let me say it again, I have cramming for a ridiculous amount of time with absolutely no sleep.  I am sorry about all these pointless posts, but when I cram I am by my computer.  Then, when I take breaks, I came here.  It is a vicious cylce.

One time, during a closed-eye visual, I saw an animation of a beautifully drawn, comically overweight clown, drawn in pencil on a dirty, stained, and ripped piece of white construction paper which was the field of my mind's vision.  He walked with a comic, bouncing stride with his belly swaying from side to side as he entered the frame from stage left.  He stopped at nearly the center of the frame, but not the exact center, and looked straight up towards the sky as he let out a painful scream with no sound accompanying the agony.  Then, while screaming, the black oval of his open mouth began to expand slowly while every piece of pencil lead that made up his design was sucked up to the heavens as if it was being vacuumed by God.  Faster and faster, pixel by pixel, his pieces ascended up this asymptote and were sucked out of the frame until he had vanished completely and I opened my eyes.  The entire animation lasted about 6 seconds.

I apologize for telling this story.  Now, I too must study for a final.

The coolest visuals I have ever gotten was about 3 hours before that story when a forest was breathing.
