New And Improved PICTURE THREAD!

[cyph]

^damn, man, theres a Ramen joint here with a similar thing going on and I just can't do it...whats your secret?

First thing is that you need spice tolerance... which wasn't the problem for me. The main issues are the temperature (it's PIPING hot!), the time limit, and the quantity!

So for the temperature, I just dumped two glassfuls of ice into the bowl, since the timer starts as soon as they serve you. Otherwise, it takes forever and a half to cool down! As for the time limit, best tactic is to attack the solids first, as quick as possible. For two reasons, first is that the longer they sit in the soup, the more they absorb the spice. Second is so you could just CHUG the soup as soon as you're done with the solids.

The quantity is the most daunting part of it for me. All I can suggest is to have some solid foods for breakfast to expand the stomach, and not eat for lunch to make room for the challenge at around dinner time...

 

[An Officer]

What on earth could make you want to subject such abuse to your stomach?

Fair enough if they have a $1000 prize or something... but even then.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

It's a guy thing.

 

[John Picard]

Pffttt. The results are akin to the Dance of the Flaming Asshole.

No thanks!

 

[Chaos Descending]

I have no problem eating spicy foods, and I want to take on the Orochon challenge some day!

1. Commenting on the Internet is like commenting in real life, only via electronic means. Comments about how nice someone looks, and how you feel he/she could look better, would be acceaptable in any average social setting offline (unless done so insultingly).

Here's where you went wrong. It is not socially acceptable to look at a photo of someone's family and say "you know, your daughter needs to change her hair" - that's very impolite.

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ Exactly. I would never say something like in person and certainly not here. (I also think her hair looks fine the way it is.)

Wonderful! And you all look so happy. Love the new color too!

 

[T'Bonz]

I wasn't offended.

She's young and the hair changes every now and then. She actually has very good taste in things, and is the best of my kids in that regard and light years ahead of her non-fashionable (and non-caring ) Mom.

I'm still getting used to the brown hair after years of red. I still have the redhead personality though so beware.

Anabell...she is such a sweetie. Except when she bites my feet and toes in the morning to wake me up. She is as soft as a rabbit. Here she is in front of some delightful 4th grade art.

Meet Jewel (sorry Awesome Possum, but the name kind of stuck). Jewel has the coldest, wettest nose east of the Mississippi. She is an SPCA adoption, but we ended up rescuing each other. When she wags her tail her whole body wags with it.

I like it, though I sometimes think that some brunettes are really just deep reds, so it still looks a bit red to me.

I can see where your daughters get their goods looks.

I find that this is often the case with adoptions.

Indeed. It's amazing what we can learn about ourselves from animals that we love and care for.

 

[Arrqh]

Here's me again sort of!

 

[Sephiroth]

spicy foods aren't a problem, this is New Mexico, the water here makes Tabasco look weak, it's the bowl the size of my head that's like 99% noodle that throws me off

 

[WillsBabe]

Here's me again sort of!

I don't think I've mentioned how much I have enjoyed looking at your photography recently, Arrqh. You are a great photographer. Hope you post more.

My doggie at Christmas:

I'm going to have to stop claiming that I'm not one of those people who dresses up their dogs.

 

[Alrik]

My three girls and I went and sat for a photo today. The proofs came in the email. I'm sure you can figure out which one is T'Bonz. (Note: I've undergone a hair color change.)

Awesome pic Bonnie. The girls are so grown up. Btw, the hair looks very nice.



But no matter what, I'll always think of you as that fiery red head T'Babe.

 

[RandyS]

My doggie at Christmas:

I usually hate animals, but even I gotta admit, this is cute.

Reminds me of a baby Ewok.

Wow, thank you kindly!

^ I have to agree with WillsBabe.
