As if Cup O’Noodles weren’t already Mother Nature’s perfect food, Nissin Foods has recruited its most awesome celebrity as the instant noodle product’s latest spokesperson…Jedi master Yoda. Unfortunately, you can only see Yoda’s Cup O’Noodles commercial in Japan. But fortunately, there’s this invention called the internet that makes the previous sentence irrelevant. Can’t think of a better way to kick off an already great (shortened) work week than with this:

You know the many sayings about how certain things come in threes: animals in children’s stories (bears, pigs, etc), religious icons, celebrity deaths. Here’s another one to add to the list:
Great pieces of movie wisdom.
Okay, technically, one of them isn’t a movie; it’s a television series. Game of Thrones.
It’s the saying: “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”
In Game of Thrones, this piece of brilliant dialogue comes via Queen Cersei Lannister (as played in the television series by the beautiful Lena Headey).
The folks at the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum chain have acquired statues made by Thai artist Anchalee Saengtai of Autobots from the Transformers series. The statues will be on display at Ripley’s museums all over the world with the most recent addition being a 2.5 meter version of Bumblebee that was unveiled at the New York Times Square branch of the museum on Friday.
All the statues are made from recycled auto parts, but what’s even cooler is you can own your very own Autobot, which you can purchase from Anchalee’s website. The 6-meter figures start at $11,000. Check some of them out here:
I would like to take the time out this week to make an endorsement, much like Esquire does from time to time. I don’t really listen to their endorsements, mind you, but you should listen to mine because, well, “treat others the way you want them to treat you” and you wouldn’t want me to not give a damn about you, now would you?
You.
For the last couple weeks, I’ve had this intense craving for Yellow Curry. Whenever I dine out with my family at the local Thai restaurant, I’d usually get the Beef Larb because the name makes me laugh – larb, LOL. It was my father who’d always get the Yellow Curry. And, of course, I would decline a taste.
Now whenever food stocks run low in our household, I’ll end up eating whatever’s the easiest thing to prepare and because we happened to be out of Fruit Roll-Ups, Yellow Curry leftovers were the order of the day.
Um, it’s kind of fantastic. The delicious microwaved chunks of chicken were nothing to write home about by themselves but bathed in the Curry, it was positively dee-lish. If I had to narrow down one ingredient that makes it so addictive, it’s gotta be the coconut milk.
So yeah – it’s my new crack and let me tell you: this habit’s a lot cheaper!
As we push on through December, your dear Offenders serve up some pervert humor; ovoid villains; and Chris Nolan’s Beard!
The California State Assembly passed a resolution proclaiming this week “Cuss-Free Week.” What that means is that every Californian is being “encouraged” not to use profanity all this week. How do I know this? Because Jasmine told me. Jasmine is 9-years-old and the daughter of a close friend who’s a single mother. I spent the good part of this evening baby-sitting her while her mother was out at a business function and I soon learned that Jasmine’s teacher had told her about cuss-free week and that Jasmine decided it was the right time to confront me about my “cussing problem.”
“Uncle Phil,” she laid into me, “I think you cuss too much. I think it’s a real problem. It’s probably why you’re so old and you’re not married. Girls don’t like boys with dirty mouths.”
“Really?” I reply. I’m only half-listening to her; too busy surfing the web on my lap top.
“That’s why my mommy left my daddy,” Jasmine continues; oblivious to my pressing need to keep up with Angry Asian Man’s most recent posts. “He had a dirty mouth.”
