Slog - Comments on Headline of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/headline_of_the_day_37 N. Korea Develops a Noodle Which Can Delay Feelings of Hunger The headline is funny, but the story is extremely sad: The people of North Korea are starving, and the government won't allow adequate foreign aid. The magic noodle—made of corn and soybean—leaves one feeling fuller for longer. It's got twice as much protein and five times the fat of an average noodle (making it probably five times as delicious). Photo by Annie Mole/Creative Commons...

More fat and protein means more calories which, for starving people, is great. Now, if they made a noodle that doesn't actually have more calories but contains appetite suppressants...

I seen you today Hipster. You had a cigarette in one hand and a Stranger in the other. You smelled like stinking cigarette smoke as you puffed away feeding your loser addiction. Your ear lobes were sagging with ear plugs that went out of style five years ago. And those tats? The colors have faded and they are starting to merge into an ugly blob. Didn't you ever notice what tats look like on older men? You thought those fuckers would forever be in style? Would you like to wear the same fucking shirt every day for the rest of your life? And that tat on your neck-it shouts LOSER to everyone who sees it. But being a loser is your thing right? That's why you read the Slog.

as does hundreds of other million on this earth

remember it is abase dish and can absorb anything else you can find, some meat, some veggies, an egg

they nuke well - nukes abound in mini marts

elecric skillets can be plugged in in parks

I feel sorry for most who might read this - they will go to shit in the face of survival and will poach off of grandma's social security

They SAY it's made of "corn and soybean", but that's what they said about - SOYLENT GREEN!

It's people! NoKo Ramen is made from PEOPLE!

That empty feeling in your stomach is brought to you by your Glorious Leader and his oh-so-important nuclear weapons program. Each time you feel a pang of hunger, just think! Now Glorious Kim has a missile that can reach the West!
