There's something funny
about very old tofu.
I guess it would have to
be funny, because it's
no longer delicious.

Ah, you've been beta-testing "Roll On: The Return Of The King, Katamari
Damacy III" then?

I don't know if you've already talked about this, but
have you had chou dofu (aka smelly tofu, stinky tofu,
fragrant tofu, and holy Buddha wtf is that)?

It's not bad stuff, aside from the stinkiness and the flavor.

Interestingly, last night, after I posted that but before you replied,
I watched one of the Shaw Brothers' live-action adaptations of the
"Old Master Q" comic strip (aka "Older Master Cute", aka "Mr. Funnybone"
in the Shaw version) and the first scene featured Old Master Q dreaming
about stinky tofu because he was sleeping with Big Potato's feet in his
face, so in his sleep he got up and got a bottle of hot sauce and poured
it over Big Potato's feet and started eating them, and then when they
woke up their pillow wasn't gone.

Then a bunch of other stuff happened, some of it kind of funny,
unlike the sequel ("Mr. Funnybone Strikes Again"), which gave up
halfway through. And definitely unlike the dreadful "Master Q 2001",
which contained no entertainment of any sort.

But anyway, because I have lots of hot sauce here, keep your stinky tofu
away from me or I might fall asleep and take a bite out of your feet.
And I don't care how you feel about that, but I know I wouldn't enjoy it,
even if the hot sauce were really good.

If we're going to re-enact wacky
scenes from hilarious Shaw Brothers
movies, I demand to be the Oily Maniac.

ARK is pretty much the only place where I would expect a mention
of nasty-smelling Chinese food to segue into some weird guy-on-guy
sleeping foot fetish thing in one post.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.--

Subway! Eat FRRRESSSSHHH!

What can you really expect when you expect the unexpected?
Sooner or later nasty-smelling Chinese food is going to
seque into toe jam, but exactly when? That's the hard part;
timing is everything.
