PS - I just got all excited for the season finale of House tonight. Then I realized it's still Sunday. >_<;

hai. I did, anyway.

can you tell me what this says? roughly?

thanks.

thank you very much. Soba tea, huh? I vaguely remember Soba noodles.

Maybe I'll try some, if it's tea. I was afraid it might turn out to be something else- hand washing stuff, or bath stuff, things not good for drinking. :^)

superspryte wrote:I think soba is the brand in this case. Obviously it's not related to the noodles.

I see.

"The Japanese have traditionally enjoyed soba tea for its refreshing taste and health benefits. Made from the buckwheat plant, it has a hearty and toasty flavor. Naturally high in protein, vitamins and minerals, soba tea is good for digestion and high blood pressure.

Brewing Recommendation: Use 1 teaspooon per 6 oz cup. Heat water until boiling. Let steep 4 - 5 minutes. Good for multiple infusions."

the link basically shows the quote I listed.

This shows a weakness of the Internet. I couldn't find this out because I couldn't translate it. Once I knew the name, I could find out quick a lot about it- including how to make the tea. We did a tea ceremony at the restaurant, I suppose that is why they gave us tea afterwards.

Re: the "Not pg-13" shirt (looky, a free plug!) - where did the women's shirt comp come from?

pimping for votes over here since the derby page takes so long to load and stuff gets overlooked there. Thank you for your support.

Even if it doesn't win, you should get it printed up at spreadshirt or something.

Thanks, I wanted to try white letters and see if it showed up better, so I did this one today. I'll probably put it on spreadshirt or zazzle, but with some cancan type graphics for the troupe. Actually, the phrase may go on the back, and the front will be "Madame Gigi's Outrageous French CanCan Dancers!", with graphics.

That was ME! My wife thought up the shirt, and I put it on the women's. I had first used it here (feel free to vote for either):

Something about this shirts speaks to me. The voice isn't telling me to do anything though, so don't worry.

Reminds me of the entry I didn't eventually do "Go ahead, impress me. Quote Monty Python again"... mine implies more TV than movies.

llo. Anything about the daily today strike you as familiar in any way?

No, aside from it being sound-based, and I've had sound-based derby entries, should it? Tell me tell me tell me!!!

I'm way late to this derby, and there's nearly 900 entries now, so I figure I'm already lost. In which case I'm simply going to pander in all 3 derby-related threads.

Here's two for you guys:

I guess if people catch on, I can always revert to television. Or, as a last resort...literature.

What we got here is... failure to communicate... Darn server keeps erroring out my post replies.

Already over 1200 now according to them, although there are over 200 rejected entries it looks like.

Between me and eHalcyon, we got 10 rejections Weehaw!

me after 6 hours of a town-wide power loss, a bit hyped up. kids are going a bit stir-crazy.

Yeah, it really bites to have something in the fog... I just submitted another silly (really silly) entry: Feel free not to look at it

oh.my.gosh. I was just singing this song yesterday. "Monchichi Monchichi, oh so soft and cuddly!" My kids think I'm crazy.

This derby is driving me crazy. It takes forever to load the pages, the server gives me errors when I try to post something more than 2 lines, and the entries!!!!

I am feeling out of touch.
Dot dot dot is an acceptable DESIGN!?
Two handed masturbation is PG-13!?

I don't know how Adder hasn't had a heart attack.

Because the only way to get a song out of your head it to give it to someone else: Monchichi

I think he's focused on being at #6.

this is just horrible. I can't wait for the rejections should come down. I've never tattled so much in my life. not even as a little kid. ;)

He's probably better off that way.

All I can think is that the rejectionator is having just as many problems go through all this garbage as I am. And the sea of tattles may be slowing them down, instead of helping this derby.

Which way did I spell it? Should be Monchhichi... with two h's... Dangit! Got it wrong on the entry title. The shirt is correct. Heck, it's prolly going to be rejected for copyright anyway.

I cannot believe my shirt was rejected for being a resubmission. When did that become a rule? We're not allowed to re-submit shirts? What if I had changed the font? Obviously, someone liked it...it was up to #8 when I last checked.

Grrrrrrr.....

I think they only check it if it's blatantly obvious or someone tattles. Tattling is running rampant at the moment...

they've written that you have to make significant changes. they've rejected a ton of entries for not being changed enough.

this week is filled with entries that are ending up being rejected. I'm annoyed that one of mine was rejected as poor taste when the same words were not rejected from someone else in Lyrics. but *shrug* such is life in the derby
