Did I say Ranma? I meant ramen.

Someone stop me before I tell the Ramen Pride story from high school again.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't heard it.

[hooverdam.livejournal.com]

Okay, so, at my high school, service clubs were a rather big deal; if you had any plans at all for college, you joined whichever one suited your needs/social group. Every year at Thanksgiving, the school ran a food drive, and all of the service clubs had a "must donate 50 cans" requirement for members, except Key Club whose minimum was 100. This resulted in most kids just heading over to yon warehouse store and purchasing flats of something, usually ramen, because that was the cheapest thing you could get. There were rumors to the effect that every year the Food Bank of Northwest NC would send the school "please, no more ramen" letters, but who knows.

Anyway, the Thanksgiving food drive always ended with a big pep rally/assembly in the school's huge-ass real live theatre auditorium, with all the food collected in the drive piled on stage, including a Wall o' Ramen. Now, standard operations at a pep rally involved chants of "Demon Pride," what with that being the school mascot and all. (The seniors would yell "Senior Pride," which, combined with the "Demon Pride" chant, made it all sound like "Semen Pride.") Inspired by the bounty of the food drive, one year a bunch of wags decided there needed to be a new chant.

"RAMEN PRIDE! WOO-WOO!"

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Ramen pride!

Region 1, 2, 3, he says.

I hope they do Season 2. Darin Morgan, baby!

I feel vaguely responsible for that good/bad Millennium DVD thing. Except not.

It's my gift. It's my curse.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Sort of the way I feel vaguely responsible for Sharon's anime addiction. Except not at all.

Re: It's my gift. It's my curse.

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

Anime - it's the new crack!

Re: It's my gift. It's my curse.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

At least they're making better crack than they used to.

[veuki.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. Now I really want that, but I have no money, since I just blew it all on seven season of the X-Files. Dammit, dammit, dammit.

DAMN YOU, MS. LARRIMERRRRRR

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Whoah! Seven seasons? That's hardcore!

_{It keeps starting up again. WTFOMGLOL!!!!11!!!!!}

[veuki.livejournal.com]

I got it all for a hundred fifty (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3339228880&category=2307&rd=1). Pretty good deal, huh? I don't mind Asian bootlegs, not this kind--they're beautiful quality.

<3333333!!!11!!11!!1one!!!1

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Honest to God, with Asian media I'm clueless. I can't tell what's a bootleg (unless it's something obvious like all 100+ episodes of Sailor Moon on VCD for $10) and what's sorta-legal. I should learn.

[veuki.livejournal.com]

If you need any help, look me up. I'm able to tell you what is and what isn't. :D

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Is there a site that gives tips on how to make the distinction?

[veuki.livejournal.com]

Um... I can look for one. :D

[ahli.livejournal.com]

I want to buy seasons 1&2 of Homicide: Life On The Street, but I am poor and lazy and have no job and do you need any Kleenex for your nose?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Do you have a CD Warehouse? I've seen the boxed sets there used for $20-$30.

^_^ I have loads, thank you. I should put a biohazard sticker on my wastebasket.

[ahli.livejournal.com]

Alas, I don't think we have those here. But i will get a job soon hopefully. :)

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

You will find an excellent job that suits your needs very well indeed. And then you will get HLOTS box sets and pie!

[ahli.livejournal.com]

Pie??

KICKASS.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

I am happy and sad for you. :-)

Especially sad about the bus part.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

At least the driver's improved since last year.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

On one of the most convenient routes that is now defunct (because it *was* convenient, of course), one of the drivers would read the paper *while driving*. Not at the stoplights, *on the road*.

Amazingly that was *not* the reason the got rid of that bus route. As far as I know, the guy's still driving, thankfully on another route.

May your car be all better soon.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

so now do you have blood on your sock?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Fortunately the shoe is part of a different pair.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ahh, excellent. i remember versaphile had a lot of trouble with bloodstains not coming out earlier.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I wish she'd get that nobody likes a sloppy serial murderer.

that's hardly fair, is it?

[cimness.livejournal.com]

you can't blame serial murderers for the lack of effective cleaning products!
