Sigh, won’t anyone make my romantic fantasies come true? White Castle is having their annual Valentine’s day celebration, but new this year is the take home “Cupid Crave Kits”. [linky]

Complete with 8 cheeseburgers, a sack of fries, two drinks, coupons, and a “keepsake”. I’m sure my best gal-pal is prompting her boyfriend to reserve one, unfortunately there isn’t a White Castle in her town. I have asked Snuffy, and he has capitulated but he knows that I would never call to make a reservation.

pinoyboy: HONEY HONEY HONEY HONEY HONEY!!!

pinoyboy: make a reservation for the take home meal
snuffy: white castle gives me the trots
pinoyboy: I know, but I loves it
snuffy: ok, go ahead and make the reservation
pinoyboy: 😀

ポッキ [Japanese: po·kki | ‘po-kki | ]
puke [Tagalog: pu·ke | ‘poō-keh | ]

One is the sweet treat, and the other… well it could be a sweet treat.

Pocky [link], is a Japanese confection consisting of a biscuit/cookie/breadstick partially coated with a sweet shell.

Puke, is the generalized term for vagina.

Pukengkeng [ Tagalog: pu·keng·keng | ‘poō·kehng·kehng | ] is the slang for pussy, a contraction of “puke” and “kerengkeng” meaning a woman of loose morals.

There’s your lesson for the day, one step closer to becoming a cunning linguist.

I found out the other day that my favorite Asian grocery is gone. It was not convenient for my commute home, but I managed to visit the store when I was in the neighborhood.

I am now devoid of a source for wonderful and strange things Asian; from dried squid snacks to brightly colored jewel bright candies. Click through the link and see a small sampling of what I’ll be missing. [linky]

If anyone knows a good alternative in the SE Michigan area, let me know… I’ve been to two other Korean/Japanese markets and haven’t been too happy with them.
