Anyone ever tried umeboshi?
Taste Test: Umeboshi
It's so sour that just looking at it makes you salivate. At least that's how the saying about umeboshi, or sour plum, goes. There's some truth in it, too — umeboshi has double the citric acid content of a lemon, so when you stick it in your mouth you can feel your cheeks suck into themselves. Nevertheless, Japanese people consume umeboshi often, not just to add flavor to things but straight up as a condiment with rice. Maybe it's because we believe that umeboshi has health benefits, like improving blood flow, helping digestion, and fighting bacteria. Or maybe because, when the red fruit is placed in the middle of a bento box full of white rice, it kind of looks like the Japanese flag.
A professor would like me to find an interview she heard on the radio about a certain Supreme Court case but she doesn't remember what station she was listen to, or who it was being interviewed (or doing the interview).
I am continually amazed at what law librarians are asked to do. I know that technically, it's your job, but it seems like these people put forth NO effort. I always thought of the librarians as a last resort, i.e. I tried to find it, but their skills are better than mine, so I see if they can.
If sparky is really going to look for it, it almost certainly has to be Nina Totenberg on NPR, right? There just aren't that many legal discussions on radio.
I already sent her the Nina Totenberg links on this one.
We're in DC, so there are probably more Supreme discussions around here than other places.
But the Real Ari(and the Piven, also,part-time, anyways) live in California. Unless the plan is they balance the budget with their own personal cuss jars, this is not going to happen.
Sorry, Sacramento cocksuckers.
Also, won't somebody think of the poor murder police? reduced to clearing cases with nothing but semaphore and a crude system of Sicilian hand signals...like your state doesn't have enough problems.

On America's Next Top Model, they once had to do a fake commercial for umeboshi (they were in Tokyo) that involved eating a piece. [link] One spit it out (oh, Yaya, you bitch). Her commercial starts around 1:37.
