More Search Queries

I really don't understand how some of these end up with people getting to my blog - or rather, how my blog ends up on the results page for them, but I guess it did. Here are the last 20 queries people used to get to my blog, in order of recency:
japanese bucket pudding, japan nuclear waste, tofu, tofu, tofu, tofu, tofu, kanji, kyoto Paradole Saiin III, kyoto Paradole Saiin III, kuso atsui, where can i buy sex toys in yokohama?, japanese いいお天気ですね。, rice cooker at jusco japan, ATSUI TOWELL KANJI RYOKAN, mamachari bike for work out, how to use yabari, japanese people-pictures, judo, American electronics in japan 3 prong

I can understand the first one. I can understand the tofu searches, given all the stupid ideas I try with tofu. kuso atsui means "fucking hot". I don't know where to buy sex toys in Yokohama. いいお天気ですね ii otenki desu ne means "It's nice weather today, isn't it?", roughly.

I'm a little baffled by atsui towell kanji ryokan, but I think the person is trying to find the kanji for お絞り, a hot (atsui), moist towel that many places will give you before eating for washing your hands. A 旅館 ryokan ("Japanese-style inn", lit: "travel house") is one such example of a place that might do that.

I don't know how to use Yabari, and I don't see why someone would buy a mamacheri to work out, but... Well, tofu.

Hahaha! Those are great.

I recently searched for the nuclear waste post on your blog because I was doing a paper for a class here and remembered that you had done something on that subject, but that was from the search window already on your blog, so I don't know if that is tabulated in, but if so, I claim that one...LOL.

How do you find that information, by the way? I had a random person comment on my blog the other day on one of the earlier posts and wondered because of the comment and their profile, how they linked to it.

I don't quite understand your question.

Oh...I can see that's rather vague. Oops. I was meaning how do you find out how people link to your blog. I'm suddenly having deja vu thinking you might have explained this to me once before, but perhaps I just thought about asking you before.

Heh, the Tofu one at least makes sense. Not sure how you can eat that stuff, but it's mentioned a fair bit.

Eh, you get used to eating food with little to no flavor. Some styles of food preparation pride themselves on providing very, very tiny amounts of flavor, in fact. It's very, very expensive.

The foods with very, very tiny amounts of flavor are expensive? You mean added flavor? Or any flavor at all?

Tofu can actually be pretty tasty if cooked with seasonings. I guess I just season things a lot, but I hardly ever eat bland tofu when I cook it myself here.

I'm talking about kaiseki. You can drop $500 on it and it will still taste like mulch.

I really liked the sashimi, and the rice with mine was excellent, as were a few of the other things, but yeah...some of it was either too lightly flavored or had a really weird natural flavor. Thankfully, the school paid for ours and it wasn't $500, though I understand kaiseki certainly can be that price. I mostly enjoyed the kaiseki meal I had, but I am not fond of pickled green things in a dish, anemone ovary, or salmon roe. I guess I just need to stick to less expensive food...yay!

Generic comment to all the tofu, pickled green twigs and anemone overy, and octopus goo-ball eatings: There are some things which are meant to be eaten, and some thinge meant to be mowed (or gutted as the case may be). Ya'll are eating some right weird stuff. Upon return, I refuse to hear any comments about how I am weird for putting tobasco sauce on popcorn.

Eating octopus goo-balls is something the bald guy on the Discovery Channel does...but he also eats stir fried cockroaches, goat naughty-bits, and guinea pigs on a stick.

"Guinea pigs on a stick" is called cuy and one of my friends here eats that commonly back in Peru.

And yes, I'll still bitch about tabasco sauce on popcorn because it'll still smell nauseating.

Yeah, a guy here from my school has eaten guinea pig, also. I'm not inclined to eat that.

Tabasco sauce on popcorn! How could you?!!!
