Evil raw fish

I am so wicked sometimes.

Ken WatanabeBig Bicep Barry felt extremely guilty about his ascetic grass-and-alfalfa-munching diet today - and I helped fan that guilt. After the extremely dull, boring case in the operating theatre today, I felt utterly famished - and could have eaten a freaking horse ( could have eaten a fucking porn star too but that's something else entirely ) so I called him up to beg him to meet me for an early dinner... and then chose sushi for his diet's sake. ( God... sushi, diet, sake... all Japanese! ) After all, I have been recently obsessed with sashimi - nothing like the taste of raw fish on my lips - and it's always fun watching little plates go round and round on the belt. Don't forget the neverending cups of green tea that keep on coming.

Unfortunately no matter how much you grab from the kaiten belt, there's only so much that you can take before the rice fills you up. So when he looked at the meagre portions I was taking ( since I usually consume a hearty meal involving sinful portions of wild beasts ), he started feeling guilty and kept hoping that I hadn't chosen sushi for his sake.

Barry ( looking worried ): Are you sure it's enough? We can go elsewhere -
Wicked Paul : Starving as hell but we're doing it for your abs.
Barry : You want another plate?
Wicked Paul : The carbs!

And I felt happy. :)

Still I went home to study and he went to the gym to burn calories ( he asked but I told him no since I was far too dizzy from a lack of food to do reps ).

oh, I didn't know it was called "kaiten belt" :-) It sounds very right in Japanese even. :-)

I thought you'd start talking about how bad raw fish would be. I am glad you enjoyed another round.

You could've only eaten fish part if you gave rice only (a.k.a. a lot of carbs) to BBB. :-) That would be evil.

Hi, lost. Glad you're back!

shigeki, what is it called? Isn't it kaiten belt? Thought it was. Given carbs to him? He would have freaked and run out.

Kind of embarrassing to admit, but back in my college days in Chicago we'd go to this sushi place that was all-u-can-eat for $25. We'd just eat the fish and ball up the rice in napkins and trashcan it in the bathroom. Don't judge me too harshly. Remember I said we were in college (i.e. broke).

Saving BBB's abs by going for Japanese? How is this possible? When the nummy fried stuff's but an order away, and those little pancakes and green tea ice cream...

Normally, I have to go on a diet after eating Japanese. Food, not people.

I don't know if I could ever eat sushi, but it certainly sounds like you're getting along well with BBB. :)

Don't be embarassed, Michael. I sometimes throw out the rice too! It's too damned filling.

Sashimi and sake! I love them, Leggy! Asmadi too.

The porn star was a joke, I could only wish I had gone out with a porn star, Darien.

Never actually tried anything else from the sushi bars, James.

Mr Brian, you seem to be right :) Thanks, will!
