Icky Yucky Sushi
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Icky Yucky Sushi
I saw this live a few years back, and it just made me go 
:shaker:
It's playing on fear of the exotic and it's just so out of place now. And if you look at the lyrics, they're pretty gross themselves; I mean, they make use of racist tropes like "no likey" and "me sicky."
It's basically saying "look at that weird food those crazy foreigners eat! Ew!" and nothing more. Which is especially dumb, because sushi? Is not that weird.

Re: Icky Yucky Sushi
As a former instructor that traveled to five of the seven continents I can truly say there is stuff out there that either looks, smells, or tastes a lot worse than sushi could ever dream of.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I like the song, but I originally heard it on Prairie Home Companion. I can't get anything from their website to play on my computer. Anything to get Maxwell's Silver Hammer out of my head, LOL.

Re: Icky Yucky Sushi
It is pretty good. Every time I went to Korea the account SE insisted we get it the first night after arrival. I figured we were safe as the Hilton restaurant wouldn't poison repeat customers.ktulu wrote:Pictures do not do it justice. It is nasty. Bibimbap looks good actually :)

Re: Icky Yucky Sushi
I thought about Durian. I have a former co-worker who was posting on FB about his various durian experiences for about 2 weeks. I'd try it. Natto's smell is localized, the taste is horrid, the texture just as bad, and the "natto threads" are just plain scary.CBeilby wrote:K-man, I'll see your Natto, and raise you Durian. The fruit smells so bad that many hotels in SE Asia flat out ban it.
