And I was picturing rice flambed a la Bananas Foster.
Well, if they took the chickens and pigs with the embedded rice and set them on fire, they could have refired rice....
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
According to this and this, coconut milk is ga-ti (or ka-ti, or gka-ti; there's no standard transliteration system for Thai).
I'm pretty sure "yum" is salad, at least in the "salad and yum" entry. One of my cookbooks has a good glossary of Thai food terms, but of course it's very inconveniently not here.

My local Chinese restaurant is "Tripple Eatery."
That should be the name of a Belgian restaurant.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'll ask my husband about the Thai words when he gets back from lunch.

Fay! Any suggestions for materials for learning Arabic, or did you pick it up on the street?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Man, I've got to a point where I no longer register this stuff as comical, even - it's just become the default.
BUT, let me transcribe for you the beginning of Death Note. Because I have concluded that it's been translated by dyslexic Japanese cats. I would worry about spoiling people for the movie, but - really, I'm watching it, and I'm still not spoiled for the movie.
Policeman: Stop. Stop.
Thug: Little vexed. Stop a day to compare to me.
Policeman: Don't run.
Innocent Female Bystander grabbed by Thug: Want help!
Thug: Stop the day compares.
Policeman: Release him.
Thug: Bewared of me to kill this woman.
Policeman: You cannot escape.
Thug: The day compares
Thug dies. Next scene:
Besuited guy: Make what feeling as for the new phrase of yesterday you
Paparazzi: Carry on the back many sirs asks you to answer us face to face
Besuited guy: Ask answers carry many sirs on answer's back
Paparazzi: You took local business organ of money of the underworld organisation.
Besuited guy: I don't remember to have this kind of matter
Somebody: It is said still beat NPO (folks Not-for-profit organisation) of the signal
Besuited guy: I know. Make me past.
Paparazzi: The children's organ and life but is deprived in the meantime
Somebody: Carry on the back ask many sirs front side back
(besuited guy collapses just like thug in previous scene)
sighs
...I'm going to have to order the damn things from ebay, aren't I? In the US/UK editions?

Innocent Female Bystander grabbed by Thug: Want help!
And can you blame her?

There's something almost Shakespearian and quite sad about this exchange. Especially "Make me past."

Now tagless for your comfort.
Charlie is ADORABLE. He's taken over as my new favorite kiddie-youtube, just beating out the "it's not toot, it's poopie" girl.
Yay for employment, JZ!
