You haven't heard of it? Must be a national thing, then... Well, last time I checked, we had long beans, snow peas, tomatoes, carrots... and probably some other stuff. The growing season here is pretty much all year round, seeing as our winter doesn't even warrant frost at the coldest times. xD But the tomatoes and other soft veggies kick it in about June if we don't look after them. Summer's been good this year, our garden is actually green.

Chicken sang choy bow, beer-battered chips and, er, whatever vegetables come out of the garden.
That sounds rather odd now I look at it. I'm so gourmet.

Seriously now, this is the easiest and most immaturely fun forum game ever invented. I'm surprised you guys haven't already got a thread for it, it's rather famous.
Enough of the suspense.
This is the In My Pants game.
Horribly simple, all you have to do is stick "in my pants" at the end of your sentence.
Eg. or and so on. Have fun in my pants!

#16 Fukui takes over as your mind's voice.
#17 You mime playing dramatic piano chords whenever a winner is about to be announced.
#18 You nickname any interruptive friends "Ohta".
{Yes, I am that lame. Fortunately, my mind's voice has returned to normal. Having an American voiceover man speak out my thoughts was somewhat creepy.}

xD Well, the best way to put forward a serious issue is with humour, I find. AND IRON CHEF IS SERIOUS BUSINESS D<
And yes, I've been waiting with bated breath for the banana battle. x3

Hmm... Maybe you just didn't put enough force into it? Because complaining sure helped us get back to ICJ! ICA only lasted... 2 episodes or so here?
But then again, we're over here. Little Australia with the population of one of your states. :/ Americans, as a whole, like American things...
I don't think I'll ever follow their logic. They should've just dubbed the whole lot and be done with it, rather than go down the path they have.
And they should've bloody well released it on DVD.

But no matter where you go, any casual television fan will tell you that ICJ is much better than ICA. I just don't see the logic behind their decision. Newly dubbed or redubbed episodes of Iron Chef Japan with updated graphics and quality would probably draw a large audience. You should have seen the rating drop when SBS replaced ICJ with ICA. Newly dubbed? You mean with different voice actors? Well... as long as they keep it camp, that's fine with me. Providing they show episodes we haven't seen. I feel you, TC, really I do. On this forum and others there has been speculation as to why FN has gone in the direction it has, dumping ICJ for ICA. The suggestion I heard that makes the most sense (at least to me) is that it's cheaper for FN to have ICA than to pay Fuji for airing rights, hiring the VO artists, re-editing to fit the North American format for commercial breaks, etc. Well, they're losing their own audience with that decision. What's better, paying a bit extra {okay, maybe a bit more than a bit} and having a much bigger viewer base, or paying slightly less to make their own version?! I mean, it's not like they have to pay for all the truffles and foie gras they use on ICJ!

d**n you, Food Network! If you don't show the American audiences episodes I want to see, then I can't see them! SBS depends on you to provide the episodes of Iron Chef! You saw how poorly ICA went on Australian TV! Japan is closer to us, we like their camp cheesiness! We don't want your shiny stadium and your flavourless Chairman, we don't want your flame-headed "Iron Chef"! We want our badly dubbed, outrageously artistic Japanese Iron Chefs! I want to hear Fukui's American voice, but I don't want him to be American! I want to watch Kung Pow, not The Biggest Loser! I want Hattori to drone on about how the best part of a fish is the bit that fish itself eats with! I want to hear Ohta squeal out "Fukui-san!!!" every three seconds to report on asparagus tits, not some dude wailing out "Alton!" or whatever! That's a bloody amusement park, d**n it! Alton Towers, check it out. Awesome place. I want to hear some airheaded but pretty out-of-work actress giggle and gasp at a challenger setting fire to ice, I want to see Kobe run and spill things, tripping over his pants and giggling insanely! I want to watch Chen flipping woks, taste testing everything, scrambling around in the last seconds, the sweat dripping from his brow and soaking through his hat! I want to see Morimoto look on in vague confusion as his opponent does something absolutely outrageous, then hear him comment "I'm supposed to be the crazy one!"! I want to watch Sakai squirm when the theme ingredient attaches itself to him! I want to hear him whine about how he hates octopi, how "they stick on yooou!" yet how he still manages to win the battle! I want to see Kaga. Just. Kaga. I want to see him, every Saturday night at 8:40pm, sometimes slightly earlier if SBS is being funny. I want to see him pop an entire pastry in his mouth, munching on it happily. I want to see him bite oh-so-orgasmically into the yellow capsicum, I want to see him choke/giggle as the camera zooms out, I want to see the FLAMES! I want to see Kaga's subtitles saying different things to his dub, I want to see his subtitles when he's NOT dubbed! I want to finish this rant, but I have Biology! Rah!
AND WHY IS DA/\/\N A SWEAR WORD, WTH

TC, you said you like to shop at Woolworths? Are you in Britain? I've always associated that store with the UK. Australia, my man. Although I've been told I act more British than your typical ocker. xD And I don't particularly like it, it's just the store I get most of my food from. Can't complain, though. I love your username, first of all. Second, welcome back to the boards. Thank you very much! I bet you couldn't guess where I got it from, though. I feel somewhat... whatever the feminine version of emasculated is for not coming up with it myself. >.>;
