One of my friends posted this gem on my FB page, gave me a mighty chortle. Toilet humour is the best humour.

Ito-En Koi Aji tea bottle for $5.28

Ito-en is great, my favourite. Like the darker stronger version too.

Pity they don't seem to have the poems on the 525ml bottles - although I can't read Japanese I used to like looking at the ages of those who wrote them.

Ign had a negative for a film review as "More reasoning behind entering the film"..did they get a magic ticket from last action hero?

I like their tea but not the company, in north america at least.

when sapooro and asahi tried to introduce their (IMO better, too) green teas ito-en undercut them on price and they disappeared

then ito-en jacked their 2L bottles to $7.60 or so and nearly never go on sale (who buys these at this price??????? it's just tea and they're 120-300 Y in Japan!)

and then, Ito-En starts importing its tea from Taiwan, not Japan - and still charges the huge premium.


Still I'm glad they offer their 525ml bottles at mainstream retailers here, those aren't too bad at $2.50 or so. I really like the dark strong version, too. Chugging the 2L bottle now actually!

Way to go, Vertical Tank!

People are going to think that's rhyming slang if I'm not careful.

[Kit]

Sealed new computer stuff being delivered. Nice feeling.

[randombs]

Nice enough to have a vertical tank over?

Yeah, I like this new slang.

[prinnysquad]

The ammunition of a vertical tank results in a lot of splash damage.

[randombs]

Also, vision can be severely compromised if you look down the nozzle during discharge.

Just sold my Samsung Saturn for $500.

I am really sad to see it go, though. Can't believe when I posted here about buying it was 2007 - already 8 years ago.

Bye bye, Sam Sat.

Siliconera using one of my video thumbnails for one article about a Vocaloid-themed Super Mario Maker level.

Just gave my Super Famicom an overhaul.

Came without rubber pads on the bottom, so I pinched some from a SNES I have.

Desoldered the RF module.

Cut the composite video trace on pin 9 of the AV port and connected pin 3 to it, thus it is now using c-sync for sync.

Installed a new 7805 and added a 220uF 6.3V cap to filter the 5V power it produces, which tones down the vertical line a little.

All good, equipped for another 25 years of use or so.
