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!

which would have been today in the Asian Rim, which would have been when he died, which means you paid tribute to him last night without ever knowin' it.
or somethin' like that.

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.

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.
