WHY GOD?! WHY?! WHY!? WHY?!

Why did you have to take Momofuku Ando?!

Go to your rest in peace. And know that I owe you the chunk of my life that ran from ages 19 through 25. I wouldn't have survived without you.
Especially during that rough three month stretch in '92.

The bad news:
I guess it's true that the sodium in those noodles can stop your heart.

The good news:
It took 96 years to do it!

First Momofuku Ando and now Iwao Takamoto

How many more influential old japanese men I've never heard of before have to die before HIJ_LM is statisfied?!

I know...scooby. However, having never been able to read the very fast credits on a cartoon...I honestly didn't know the animator was Japanese. :lol:

I told my friends about this, and now we are planning a chicken ramen eating contest in his honor.

The thing I love about my friends is that everything turns into a circus.
