I was going to say he looks like Tom Delonge
Who I’m sure has absolutely no idea where Duke is.
Too bad Facebook’s Doppelganger Week was last week, yeswecan/Wayne, this definitely could have been yours. Let us know how Japan is, especially if the chicks mistake you for a rockstar!!!

Nobody ever mistakes me for a rock star, and here is no different
But I’ve never felt more like a giant than I do here. I’m 6’2", and I’ve lived that scene in Lost in Translation where Bill Murray is in the elevator and he’s a head taller than everyone in there. Exact same thing happens to me every day at work.
I can't hack Japanese food at all, I hate fish and seafood, let alone raw fish and seafood.
I would fucking starve to death in Japan. You do look quite nice in the suit yeswecan. What kind of work are you doing exactly? Sounds interesting.

It was hilarious
And the almost-full room of mostly Japanese people were singing along and clapping to the jams. Great time.
Try Ramen ... or Japanese Curry (chicken, pork or beef cutlet).
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I ate that first then suddenly I was able to handle a day here and a day there where I would eat sushi/sashimi.
I love this team.

i hate most seafood, but i've had very little trouble here
All the Japanese food I’ve had here has been awesome, and when I’m jonesing for Western food, it’s everywhere. There’s a McDonald’s around the corner that’s next to a Subway, and the next block has Hard Rock Cafe near a T.G.I. Fridays. Outback Steakhouse is around another corner, too. I’ve told people here that I hate those restaurants more than I hate seafood.
The work I’m doing here is adverstising/marketing. I’m a copywriter. Not the most exciting job in the world, but a most-expenses-paid trip to Japan does not suck at all.
There's so much more than sushi to real Japanese food.
Lots of beef – from Kobe steaks to meatballs – breaded or marinated pork cutlets and, depending on where you are, lots and lots of chicken dishes – including fried. Always with simple, tasty sauces. By far the easiest food in Asia for Westerners to adapt to.
The ‘Japanese’ restaurants we get in the US are clichés, generally.

Oh,and the bakery-fresh PASTRIES!
Just be careful to not select a hot mustard-filled glazed bearclaw – a mistake I’ve made, and which caused my Japanese hosts to chuckle at my horror.
"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Everything has been great, so far
I’ve had the cutlets and fish and all sorts of stuff. Typically, it seems like restaurants take a cuisine and combine it with Japanese food. For example, at an Italian restaurant I had sazae, a kind of shellfish, as an appetizer. It was garlicky goodness!
Wait. Copywriter? In Japan??
Are you the guy responsible for this shit?
If so, you have just become my god.

I was thinking NOT that the site was run by you,
but rather you were having some serious fun messing with your Japanese overlords by hosing the translation of their material into English in your job as a copywriter.
That would have been E P I C.

I'd love to get a translation of this
Instructions seem to be way more lengthy than I would have imagined — makes me wonder if I’ve actually been doing wrong all these years.

I finally found some good mexican food, in Hiroo
Some co-workers took me to a place, and it was altogether pretty darn good.
Were the people working there Mexican?
Japan does have a liking to all things Mexico related. From what I’ve seen Japan really likes mariachi music.
I haven't seen any Hispanic people here
And I haven’t seen or heard any mariachi music, either. Everyone working at the Mexican food restaurants is Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi.

What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
I think you nailed it...
Kinda like the average frumpy chick that drives a Saturn.

yeswecan, Company Man. Touring the urinals of Japan one smile at a time.
But, yeah, ’goat nailed it. Except for the Duke part. Looks more like a Princeton man to me. Princeton could use a guy like Wayne.

I hear the campus is lovely
Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!
Ridiculously so.

That's a little league field, iirc.
I love this team.

I think you're talking about the city park.
I’m sure Pepperdine has its own ballfield somewhere.

$10 for a beer??
Blasphemy. Be well over there ywc.
P.S. Can you bring me back a Magic Shiney outfit? TIA!
yeah the Magic Shiney guy was classic
His sweatshirt had something like pics of girls in lingerie and words like “Fantasy Life” or something. It was hard to see because he was so slumped over.
so.......kinda looks like his next stop is a phone booth to switch into his caped costume.........
Clark Kent-esque………

true
Yours, as well! I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen you wear a collared shirt. Only t-shirts and fishnet.
There are lifestyles that shun wearing collared shirts after college?!

Pool boys.
Maybe Iron Chef.

Dude. He gets to wear a cape!!!
I wanna wear a cape. Elvis got to wear a cape. Evel Knievel. The Batman. If I ever get to toss out a first pitch, I’m gonna wear a cape.

?!?! (regurgitates, swallows tongue, passes out, regurgitates again)
Oh man…does Mrs Stirrups know about this?
If you’re into capes, and if you EVER get a chance to throw out the first pitch, how about this;
It comes with an optional (and highly recommended) mask. It’s about the right colors too!
Or make a really lasting impression on all your co-workers!!! Tell your boss it’s required by your therapist to overcome fear of embarrassment.
Original Iron Chef rules!
Much better than Iron Chef America! ICA doesn’t even have the “Tee hee” girl, and Fukui-san and Ohta are much better than Alton and Kevin!

This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole reason that the original Iron Chef was popular AT ALL was precisely due to the campiness of the damnable thing. It was a cult must-see! Stoopid Food Channel missed the whole point when they imported the damned thing. Who actually gives a shit about watching the kosher salt and fresh gound pepper brigade speed cook their way through Alton Brown’s pomposity?? Give me bad english dubbing of overly polite and respectful critics anxiously awaiting their first taste of octopus ice cream while Ohta tries to figure out that the secret ingredient is fresh salmon eggs!!!

And, of course, the immortal quotes..
“I seem to recall….”
“Fukui-San!”
“Yes, Ohta?”

Game on, Red!!!
From now on, in any game thread, if you see me type out "Fukui-San!", you better get your shit together and jump into character with me.

..and he can put one hell of a bite on a pecker...
…I mean pepper. I did say pepper didn’t I ? A giant yellow pec pepper.
I didn't know the sapposed corrupt ex-governor of Illinois is a member of HH
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!
