Fran

Disclaimer: In no way is this review in fact a metaphorical analysis of the soul-crushingly pathetic events that transpired in the theater of depression that IS MY LOVE LIFE involving a girl with exactly the same name as this food product.

I bought a box of Fran about 3 weeks ago. At first the box was slightly apprehensive, possibly due to the fact that in my drunken stupor I was using it’s top-right corner to prop myself up on whilst slurring “SO DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND” raising my voice to be heard over the cartoon angel on my right shoulder telling me to shut up shut up please shut up, but for some, utterly unfathomable reason, the box of Fran decided to throw caution and instinct and all warning signs such as the big sign on my head saying “Hi my name is Jon and I’ve never had a relationship that didn’t end in unspeakable horror” to the wind, and agreed to meet me in a quieter setting the next week. So you’re single you say?

Fran and I enjoyed a nice day together. Dinner, chit chat, that kind of thing. And in my admittedly narrow experience with this kind of thing, I believed it warranted at least another date before being able to make any kind of decision as to whether we will both end up in bed or whether she will, in desperation, stab herself in the stomach and run out into public saying “OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT HE DID”.

Fran, I later found, comes in a variety of different flavours in addition to the one that I already knew of, which I’ll refer to as Disarmingly Approachable Fran. A couple of examples:

Blueberry Fran. Colourful. Playful. Laughs at my crap jokes about foreskin liferafts. This Fran also returns my calls. I like this Fran a lot. THAT IS UNTIL I MET,

Dark Chocolate, Executive Fran, who used “work” as a convenient reflex-excuse to whittle down the amount of time she actually had to listen and pretend to laugh at my jokes about foreskin liferafts, rolling her eyes and yawning in my face whilst idly looking at the watch that isn’t on her wrist, and generally had extremely little time to massage and pander to my ego, or simply respond to my calls or messages within 5 days, whichever is asking the least. Just a wall of painful, longing silence.

But Dark Chocolate Fran had some convincing excuses. Buried at my job! she cried. Bed-ridden and ill! she murmured, through cocoa-stained lips, all the while assuring me that we would meet again soon. But aha! Tokyo is a small place if you are…confectionary…for I spotted Dark Chocolate Fran out on a saturday night, partnered with another mystery snack good who was not me in any way, let’s call him Mr Gay Nougat ‘n’ Cherries Bar Stupid Face. Much did this surprise and trouble me.

I called DC Fran the other night, putting forward my evidence, illustrating how all the tetris pieces of this charade are slowly falling into place and they are spelling the words “I SMELL BULLSHIT” which was impressive, especially considering the overhangs on the s’s. Why keep me in the dark? I inquired. If you’re happy with Gay Nougat Man then that’s fine - I’d just appreciate the information so I don’t stay up at night waiting for your messages whilst drinking myself into unconsciousness and banging on the walls of the prison cell of my own insecurity I’M TOO FAT IT’S BECAUSE I’M TOO FAT RIGHT no but seriously, this is a message to all…chocolate bars…female ones…getting…tired…of the metaphor…men are humans too, so don’t frick us about because we’ll only go and write about you on our blogs and WHO WILL BE LAUGHING THEN whilst drinking and crying and chanting “nobodylovesmeI’mgoingtodiealone” over and over until it becomes but a hum of pure insanity.

And Fran’s response? “I’ll email you tomorrow about it”. Well joy of joys. Thank you for finding the time in your busy schedule of having probably amazing sex with Nougat Cherry Whatever Child-Size Fun Bar Person to explain to me what the frick is going on.

Which brings me skidding to the events of today, in which I effectively got an actual Dear Jon letter, albeit it was more like “Jon, please stop calling. Please. Oh God you’re fricking insane please just let me die please just let me die” rather than the well-thought out, reasoned explanatory prose that I hoped I would get.

So here’s to being a fricking loser! Wahey.

Anyway:

Appearance Kind of stick-like and covered in chocolate. Yes I am talking about the actual snack now. 1/5

Taste/Smell Tastes like…failure and self loathing. And kind of berry-ish. 1/5

Health Implications It kept me up all last night just waiting for a fricking reply. 1/5

Fear Factor I only fear that I have actually estranged her and she will never talk to me again. And somewhere, the small, still-functioning part of my brain tells me that this pseudo food review PROBABLY won’t help things. 1/5

Final Rating It makes me even more dead inside. 1/5

  4. the kind of woman who purposefully pretends to have a heart just to get you to love them so she can decide if she likes you or not, after which she drops the pretense and treats you like a channel surfer treats a disaster victim looking weakly and pitifully at the camera in a commercial for red cross relief funds. You may continue to exist after she switches her attention away but any incursions into her current world will be met with quizzical “hmm, something’s wrong with this program” type responses.

  9. Cheer up man, you make the rest of us feel a lot better about ourselves. Isn’t that a noble purpose in life?

    fan / July 5th, 2005
  10. Man, who HASN’T had their girl stolen by Gay Nougat Man? Oh, except here’s the kicker: he’s not actually gay, “he’s just sensitive to my needs.” Give me a fucking break.

    Guig / July 5th, 2005
  11. So let me get this straight — you’ve been straight up and honest with her all along, and she’s responded with deceit and mind-games? Keerist, yer better off getting outta there early.

    Craig / July 5th, 2005
  12. all women are evil. i just like to say that because it makes me feel better, but in a way i think it’s true. they like to do things like this because - in a way which makes me feel annoyed at myself for sounding so cliched - they like to feel big and cover up the fact that just by being a woman they’re insecure. why can’t they be more straight forward and stop pretending that making a fool out of yourself by actually showing interest is in fact being true instead of being full of shit like they are. sorry, generalising again, but past experiences back me up on that one. they always want to feel like they’re big and you’re small in the end.

    (Bigger Than) Totoro / July 5th, 2005
  13. Yeah…evil. Guys never do stuff like that.

    Guig / July 5th, 2005

    I’m available.

    Fuckstress / July 5th, 2005
  18. So you got one of those “please stop calling” letters too. I got one, but it was more like “Don’t call, don’t write, and please don’t e-mail me”. And then of course she started writing letters to me, which I couldn’t answer. What’s the point of that c-rap? Ooh, and like Guig, I was dumped for Mr. Gay Nougat Bar once. Well, I got the last laugh on that one, you will too. As long as you’ve got plenty of umeboshi-flavoured crisps and kani miso, you’ll be alright. Fran will wake up one day and realize that it was her loss. Don’t get old and bitter like I did.

    David / July 5th, 2005
  19. That was the most angst-and-frustrated-anger-filled food review ever.

    I’m so very proud. sniffle

    Ignore that bitch of a chocolate stick. You’re an intelligent witty guy, who’s not ugly (this is coming from a hetro guy, so y’know, you’re probably good looking, but I”m not going to say it)… you’ll be fine. Other snack treats will come along. Ones with rich creamy centres.

    And Fuckstress is available. waggles eyebrows Crisi-tunity!

    Also, your lovelife could be worse. Without sounding too self-involved, I’m a network admin guy at a uni college, surrounded by hot young horny women. I’m 10 years older than them, so I’m a big brother to all of them.

    Women… can’t live with them, can’t use their bones for soup.

    Sciby / July 5th, 2005
  20. …Sciby scares me… And Fan, I don’t really want to tell Jon to go get fucked.

    Ami / July 5th, 2005
  21. man, the same thing happened to me. except i was the chocolate stick bastard. knowing the true evilness of such relational crimes, i suggest you kill the bitch. in some cool ironic way, where like in the end she finds out you were her dad.

    ben / July 5th, 2005
  22. That was a truly beautiful (in the tragi-comedy sense) tale. I suppose what they say is true - you can’t have your Fran and eat it. The thing I like about Frans is that when no one’s looking you can slide them up your arse. Sounds like this could be the best cure for your current Fran dilemma. Slip her up your arse and forget about her.

    Kuri / July 5th, 2005
  23. For along while there I really thought you were talking about some kind of ice cream chocolate bar. I was getting so hungry. Thinking of how Fran would taste in my mouth. Licking that chocolate ice cream bar… sucking on the remaining stick. So what does Fran taste like?

    come to me baby, come to me… yeah …

    my key / July 5th, 2005
  27. awww, there there.

    fran is yummy but it just makes u fat. and when it melts it just makes a mess. plus it’s kinda plain looking, just a stick. and worse of all, it’s not very satisfying cos there isn’t much in the box. =\

    vie / July 5th, 2005
  28. hahaha..that was awesome.

    mr.p. / July 5th, 2005
  29. One thing I can say is that Fran has a nice box.

    Oh, and (Bigger than) Totoro needs to wash the sand out of his vag.

    Guig / July 5th, 2005
  30. so which one is better.. pockey or fran??

    Moi / July 5th, 2005
  31. Scrape them off Jon. I’m writing a book called ‘Becoming Free From the Tyranny of Libido’. It’s about how evolution tricks you with lovely boobies, but all that really lies in wait is a world of pain. They’re just fatsacks!

  32. guig will you be my lover?

    (Bigger Than) Totoro / July 5th, 2005
  33. Jon,

    I have three pieces of advice from my limited exposure to the dating scene from the past few years:

    1. All’s fair in love and war.
    2. Don’t get mad, get even.
    3. See ‘1′.

    Having been armed with the ‘nougat-gate’ evidence, I’d have persuaded ‘chocolate stick girl’ to have met for one more date (pleaded even), perhaps to regale her with more body-part jokes but maybe just for a coffee. I’d also have arranged for a ‘professional escort’ shall we call her I dunno, curly-whirly-lady to also meet me there in advance. Then, exchanging funds persuade the latter to perform an oral sex act on you underneath the table in time for chocolate stick girl #1 to arrive. When ‘fran’ sat down hooker-candy-girl emerges, takes a hanky out and delicately wipes her mouth before thanking you and walking off. Make no reference to this and conclude your date early with bitch-chocolate #1.

    I can’t say this is a tactic that I’ve personally employed, however I believe there’s never any rational post-mortem of a date gone wrong. That said I had a few dates with a barrister a few years ago and when I stopped calling her I eventually got the most eloquent ‘you are a wanker’ email I’ve ever received. Part of me wishes I kept it because it was a work of art not only lambasting my integrity but also my physical assets. I of course showed my friends/colleagues and then promptly deleted it before it had chance to become one of those urban legend emails.

  35. EDITED by Yongfook - yeah sorry to edit comments but outright nastiness towards the poor girl isn’t really what this entry was about. I hope people realise that the main focus of the entry is how awesome and world-crushing my power to make women run far away, so far away, is.

    T / July 5th, 2005
  36. and thus all the female fans of yongfook.com secretly rejoice at YF’s prolonged singlehood…

    _tamara_ / July 6th, 2005
  46. not without leaving me some way, ANY way, to contact you, no.

    yongfook / July 6th, 2005
  47. Where are the rabid fangirls when you need them? In any case, you still seem to be in high demand — what with all the “yf, will you date/sleep with/marry me?” requests…

    Consider it a chance to enjoy singledom a bit longer. :)

    ashan / July 6th, 2005

  50. Yongfook just star in a porno flick so we can see what fran is missing out on. Call it “Being DUMPED on by Fran and Ghey Nougat ‘n’ Cherries boy”. Hmmmmmmmm chunky. A sure hit in the AV scene.

    yongfookfanboy / July 6th, 2005
  51. I’m taking bets ten-to-one that “tamara” will turn out an axe murderer and slay our dear and beloved Jon. Either that or he makes her cry/run away/jokes about her penis/etc…

    Anyone?

    fan / July 6th, 2005
  52. hmm. Something along the lines of Misery (the Stephen King novel; movie adaptation stars Kathy Bates) would perhaps be more interesting.

    ashan / July 6th, 2005
  53. Jon, stop dating confectionary already. Therein lies the problem.

    Canuck / July 6th, 2005
  54. No woman should ever do that to a man and vice versa.

    Don’t worry YF, you’ll find someone else much better than her. I don’t know you but judging from your blog, you’re a witty, talented guy with a great sense of humour. I surely wouldn’t mind having a drink or two with you when I get to visit Tokyo ;)

    Celia / July 6th, 2005
  55. Yong Fook. Dude. You’re in Tokyo. It’s like being in any large city. There are ALOT of opportunities. You should have Fran falling out of Your pockets there are so many Konbinis around. You can make a million mistakes and there will still be 10 million more chances to correct them. Use a sales technique (as learned by a guy not nearly as man pretty)… 10, 3, 1. For every 10 girls You meet & greet, 3 will spend time with You after they get to know You and 1 will go home and Make Your day right away–Doit Yong Fook. 1 every 6 months and tissue after the storm is only Good Website Material… Not a Good Lifestyle.

  56. From a drunken bastard who’s lost all inhibition enough to not post I say: Jon…get that fucking fram…or fran or whatever…and make her yours. You’re not some goddamn web monkey, you’re a violin player, an when are we making a podcast together? Whats wrong with this world are the men of inaction… and the Japanese.

  57. Acccchhhhh!!!! Yer messing about with the wrong choco-bar, boyo!!! Try on one with a carmel center, ya stupid git. Soft n’ creamy oozing goodness, just getting ya sticky. Fran is na fer ya, an stay awa from tha noougat man - he’s just a poofy jelly creeature with na substance. Ya need somthin’ with a creamy center, somethin that just melt in yer hands. Go fer some sticky sweetness with a soft center an maybe some buttery goodness. Ya need to git yer saliva going…listen ta yer taste buds.

  62. Hey Yongfook, I’m really sorry to hear things went so badly with Fran (Fran is a stupid name for a snack anyway)

    Isn’t the worst part the endless wait for that reply?? When you already know what could be said, but you still got that gut-churning shock/turned-off feeling, horrible morbid curiostiy, and a small bit of hope, all of which is just making the wait feel like an actual enternity…

    I hope you’re feeling somewhat better soon!

    Guig / July 7th, 2005
  65. yeah I think it got culled with some other stuff from early 2002 that I thought “well maybe just MAYBE no one gives a fuck about this anymore” but it looks like I was wrong. I wouldn’t worry about the moulting - my hairline has gone up and it has been replaced by hair in other places. Just look at Jude Law - he has a receding hairline and the women lust after him. So as long as you look like Jude Law I think you’ll be ok. But all in all look upon it as a bleak reminder of your own mortality and that one day you will eventually die. No wait, don’t think that. Anyway, there’s always prostitutes, they have sex with bald people for money I hear.

    Craig / July 8th, 2005
  69. Yee-Owch. The worst part about stuff like this is that it makes you feel like something that just got scraped off someone’s shoe. Ick. Remember, your blog cheers people up, makes them laugh, and essentially matters. And that’s just your blog, dude,.. I think you should be pretty okay in real life. XP

    Plus, don’t worry about your “awesome and world-crushing power to make women run far, far away” You’re male, that power’s embedded in the Y chromosome. You’ll find someone who’s immune to your brand of it.. eventually.. Plus you’re cute ^_^

    How’re you feeling after a bit of time?

    Kanishah / July 8th, 2005
  70. Fran is Pocky’s snotty, prettier friend who boasts more chocolate mousse and a way higher price-tag. Stick with Pocky. Pocky is inexpensive, reasonable and just as tasty (with that extra hint of cookie since it isn’t slathered in layer upon layer of rich dark chocolate).

    You deserve something awesome. Like Pocky. (Ignore Pretz. Pretz is easy but it sucks and it makes your mouth dry). Fear not! Your confectionary delight will someday be around the corner and it will call you back and love you, too. You’re so fucking hot and witty anyway. It shouldn’t take long.

    sachi808 / July 8th, 2005
  73. Surely Jon is feeling better now what with all the groupies cropping up. And this is just because he posted he was upset. Can you imagine the response if he actually asked for all the fan girls to put their hand up?

    Ami / July 8th, 2005
  74. Hehe, I freaked out Ami. My life is complete.

    And I think Jon just needs a hug and a pat on the arse, and to be sent on his way to find more women. Will he alienate them, or will he gain carnal knowledge?

    Ami, you’re right.

    All fangirls of Jon, form a line to the left, have your CV and press photos ready, actually living in Toyko would be best, Japan is good, Armenia is right out.

    God, work is sucking my soul dry today. And it didn’t even buy me a drink.

    Rudd / July 11th, 2005
  93. If I had a dime for every time I wished I was a twitching roebuck…

    Guig / July 11th, 2005
  94. Hmmmmm… hot roebuck-on-roebuck action.

    Sciby / July 12th, 2005
  95. Haha! Sciby rocks

    JohnKFB / July 12th, 2005
  96. boring

  97. JohnKFB: Why thank you, you’re most kind.

    Take your hand off my leg.

    Sciby / July 12th, 2005
  98. im quite liking how there’s a little yongfook community building up here… albeit one that seems to be focussed entirely on bleeding animals/having sex with bleeding animals…

    tessa / July 13th, 2005
  99. who needs wimin aaanyways or chocolate sticks? :p i mean what’s wrong with a tub of homemade ice cream, final fantasy and a hardcore porno? and maybe some fluffy farm animal? then you can make a song about it, excellent!

    poo / July 13th, 2005
  100. Tessa: these are followers of Yongfook. I’ve learnt not to expect anything else.

    Ami / July 13th, 2005
  101. Jon …. how come I feel like the whole universe name Jon. Not like it’s a bad thing. Trying to get over a person. And now or days i just ran into people name Jon everywhere…..

    Sonny / July 13th, 2005
  102. Jon …. how come I feel like the whole universe name Jon. Not like it’s a bad thing. Trying to get over a person. And now or days i just ran into people name Jon everywhere…..

    Sonny / July 13th, 2005
  103. I thought I had already replied to this… hmmm…

    Erm, yes, anyway… Tessa: we’re not talking about having sex with bleeding animals. We’re talking about bleeding animals having sex with each other.

    Sonny’s post(s) makes my eyes water.

    Sciby / July 13th, 2005
  104. yongfook, wherefore art thou?

    _tamara_ / July 13th, 2005
  105. My god, you actually have a website and a following? I had no clue a wanker like you was so popular.

    Seriously, nice entry though. I mean, in my glazed eyes that peruse 10000 random webpages and xangas a day, yours stood out as a solid piece of shit in an ocean of diarrhea.

    By the way, that’s an American, heterosexual way of saying “Good job, dude.”

    japajew / July 13th, 2005
  106. japajew: … interesting metaphor. “Congratulations, yongfook, your site is da shit!” [laugh]

    ashan / July 13th, 2005
  107. sciby: if you want to get technical, might i point out that guig wished that he was a “twitching roebuck”, so to have “roebuck-on-roebuck action” would actually mean guig-the-twitching-roebuck copulating madly with another roebuck.

    tessa / July 13th, 2005
  108. japajew’s post makes my brain hurt.

    Sciby / July 13th, 2005
  109. Tessa: That’s hot.

    No, wait. That’s mindbendingly disturbing.

    Sciby / July 13th, 2005
  110. No, no. It’s hot.

    Really hot.

    Guig / July 13th, 2005
  111. Only because you’re getting roebuck arse.

    Sciby / July 13th, 2005
  112. I just heard some sad news on talk radio - blogger Yongfook was found dead in his Tokyo home this morning. There weren’t any more details. I’m sure everyone in the Yongfook community will miss him - even if you didn’t enjoy his work, there’s no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly a British icon.

    fan / July 14th, 2005
  113. you Wish he was dead. psycho.

    (Bigger Than) Totoro / July 14th, 2005
  114. How tragic! I’ll never be able to read bizarre accounts of random events from yongfook anymore. My life has lost all meaning. Excuse me while I sob my heart out in a corner…

    (tamara : er, you may want to check your romeo and juliet cliff’s notes re. that line )

    ashan / July 14th, 2005
  115. i spoke to yongfook recently on MSN and i can assure you that he is still alive and well… sadly.

    sciby: how do you know it’s guig getting roebuck arse? can it not be the roebuck getting guig-arse? shudders

    tessa / July 14th, 2005
  116. banana? BANANA?!!

    WHATTTT???????????????????

    i’m bored, please kill me.

    (Bigger Than) Totoro / July 14th, 2005
  117. Banana? banana?!!! “Whatcha Talkin About, Willis?”

    Update your site yongfook….or ill eat you and the hot looking twitching roebuck everyone is talking about.

    Great Teacher Steveholtazuka!! / July 14th, 2005
  118. suggestion for your print club–you should put in a button that takes back the last thing you’ve done–or at least put in an eraser

    JohnKFB / July 14th, 2005
  119. Dear Tessa,

    Do not be fooled by cheap imitations of our dear and beloved Yongfook. I assure you he is quite dead since I attended his funeral and had to comfort his mother in a very intimate fashion.

    fan / July 14th, 2005
  120. I think fan is that evil twin brother that exists in yongfook’s slightly dotty imagination, except that the clever ironic twist is, the little novelty of a sibling fraud actually came to life and stabbed yongfook in the back (literally) and now his laptop is probably laden with blood and probably remains of beer from the other night.. and one other unidentified stain..

    poo / July 14th, 2005
  121. Tessa: Well… er… yeah, I suppose if Guig wants to play role-reversal and be violated by a punctured and dying roebuck, then they can. (Let’s not assign Guig a sex just yet)

    However, the roebuck would probably need assistance.

    Since work is boring, and distracting me is good, MSN: sciby.at.hotmail.com

    If you’re a random, and you scare me, I’ll block you and cry quietly.

    I can’t promise there’ll be talk of roebucks, or in fact, any bovine creatures.

    Sciby / July 14th, 2005
  122. Er, the msn thing was for everyone, not just Tessa. She’s not a random.

    Well, kinda. I’m not sure.

    Sciby / July 14th, 2005
  123. Jesus, I went from wanting to be a twitching roebuck to being a sexless beastiality fetishist being penetrated by a dying roebuck.

    Guig / July 14th, 2005
  124. At least you’re getting sex.

    Jon’s not.

    Well, neither am I, come to think of it. Hmm…

    Sciby / July 14th, 2005
  125. I’m starting to wish I’d never mentioned the still-twitching roebuck.

    As you were.

    Rudders / July 14th, 2005
  126. You’re not the boss of me.

    Sciby / July 14th, 2005
  127. I have good reason to believe that NOBODY is getting sex here. Except for the roebuck guys. They own.

    fan / July 14th, 2005
  128. Anyone tired of crappy wiggley drawings of cocks and manginas on this site????…… thought not.

    ” Roebuck ghey action is hot “

    yongfookfanboy / July 14th, 2005
  129. Is yongfook going to turn into some deistical entity? If so, I’m going to leave now. I don’t handle religion well, and I’ve never been one for worship.

    Guig / July 14th, 2005
  130. And I hate you all. Sheep. The lot of you.

    Guig / July 14th, 2005
  131. Hush, roebuck-toy, you’re waking the lambs.

    Sciby / July 14th, 2005
  132. aww… its okay we know that your going to end up with a guy anyway :-P

    jeff / July 15th, 2005
  133. chocolate-caramel-blue-berry-strawberry sticks… take my word for it man, just reach for the eclaires. or better yet, the doughnuts.

    d4nce / July 15th, 2005
  134. yongfook takes a shit and you all scramble around the feces like mongrelized monkey children. shame on you all.

    japajew / July 15th, 2005
  135. Yeah, and shame on you for being a pretentious twat, desperately clinging to self-proclaimed superiority…. even though you’re posting here with us.

    Hah, you’re infected now, monkey child.

    Sciby / July 15th, 2005
  136. yong fook, please return! i’m getting bored of roebuck sex comments. that Stick doesn’t know what she’s missing, but i’m missing you..r posts…

    very_sanguine / July 15th, 2005
  137. Amazing. In about 10 days there have been 136 comments.

    I see a lot of Sciby. Wait — Sciby’s a guy?

    ashan / July 16th, 2005
  138. Yes, Sciby’s a guy. :P

    I comment a lot because I have a job where I”m bored and I have access to the internet.

    http://www.niceguyjin.com/ - And I love that, for some strange reason.

    Sciby / July 16th, 2005
  139. All hail the great yongfook.

    Update the fuck…up…already. You know what i mean.

    David (Mtl) / July 16th, 2005
  140. Sounds to me like you were looking for something sweet and delectable and all you got were empty calories.

    Not to mention, you made an impulse buy based on the looks of the package rather than the actual contents.

    Make sure you carefully read the nutrition label next time before purchasing.

    JohnKFB / July 16th, 2005
  144. Jon if you’re really dead and you want me to take over your apartment, website and job just send me a sign. Make it rain in London or something.

    andyheather.blogspot.com / July 17th, 2005
  145. Okay, guys - Jon just contacted me from the spirit realm by making it rain in England, which means I now own and run this website. My reign will be glorious.

    My first new rule is everyone who posts a comment must address me as Almighty Yongfook of the Second Coming. And no-one else is allowed to draw an ‘amusing’ ‘picture’ cock and balls squirting baby gravy over a manga girls’ face with my virtual sketchpad.

    andyheather.blogspot.com / July 17th, 2005
  146. ok, apparently niceguyjin is a new hiphop group from tokyo featuring a former college basketball player, and 2 other guys

    JohnKFB / July 17th, 2005
  147. That’s cool. Sciby is entertaining us with his own mini blog. Since you know Youngfook is playing hard to get.

    americantalkingmonster / July 17th, 2005
  148. johnkfb: goddammit, are they real or not? im a little befuddled by their music video, either they’re taking the piss out of cheesy ‘we woz ‘ere! look how exotic this place is!’ gaijin-in-tokyo videos… or they’re actually, you know, real cheezy gaijins-in-tokyo.

    tessa / July 17th, 2005
  149. I think they are real–you can see they have their “onsen” song featured in one of those beat-style video games in the music video–ok, I just read this article, i think it has everything you ever wanted to know about them: http://www.jpop.com/niceguyjin.php

    JohnKFB / July 17th, 2005
  150. Aaugh. That video was bad. Very bad. WHY are they a hit (if what jpop.com claims is true)?

  154. I’m not trying to entertain everyone… and one of my comments seems to be pending moderation, so perhaps I’ve worn out my welcome.

    Sciby / July 18th, 2005
  155. Anyone seen the Descent? its gooooood.

    yongfookfanboy / July 18th, 2005
  156. Nope… saw Sincity the other night… pretty good, but a bit overhanded in some places. Plot was a bit all over the place as well… almost like Pulp Fiction, but not as fluid between changes.

    Sciby / July 18th, 2005
  157. Sin City is manjuice in cinematic form, hyper-machismo made palatable by slick effects. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

    Pru Dent / July 18th, 2005
  158. Woo hoo, first official screening of Joss Whedon’ Serenity at the Edinburgh film festival! He’s gonna be there tooooo! o god thats deffinatly got my geekjuice flowing!!!

    yongfookfanboy / July 18th, 2005
  159. Shit both screenings sold out! They just added an additional date and that was sold in 40 mins. Fuck i blame yongfook for this.

    yongfookfanboy / July 19th, 2005

  163. Sorry about that JFKB. It just amused me to no end to see another KOC member out here in the Internets. I just wanted to be sure…

    Also, congrats on being able to use Google.

    Also, Xanga???

    LOL!

    General Lok A Ru / July 19th, 2005
  164. LOL stalker man. I assume you know my email address by now, so drop me a line and tell me about my xanga, because i am befuddled how you got a hold of that one unless you are just bs’ing me.

  169. Dear Yongfook readers,

    I just got off the phone with Jon’s mum and she informed me he has been suffering from a penile infection.

    Hope you get well soon, Jon!

    fan / July 20th, 2005
  170. Are the “rabid fangirls” mentioned above a sort of Christmas selection box or, if you will, a tin of Cadburys Roses? I always get left with the Orange ones whilst my brother gorges himself on the whippy walnut ones. I imagine your problem would be constantly mistaking the toffee log for the fudge role and breaking your teeth on them?

    Gavra / July 20th, 2005
  171. Oh and Japajew can’t spell faeces.

    Gavra / July 20th, 2005
  172. I agree with JohnKFB, I think they’re alright. It’s better than learning Japanese out of a textbook.

    Ami / July 20th, 2005
  173. A penile infection, lovely.

    Must be from too much… self-manipulation.

    Sciby / July 20th, 2005
  174. Just out of curiosity, have you thried a similar product called Pocky? Its something thats gaining alot of popularity here in the sates, so I was wondering if it’s as popular there as everyone here seems to think it is. I’m new to this site, having stumbled upon it by accident, but after reading one entry, I had to go back and read them all….you’re absobloodylutley hillarious.

    Evayasha / July 20th, 2005
  175. Awesome, one person agrees with me. Huh-huh, I can pick chicks up on the intarweb

    JohnKFB / July 20th, 2005
  176. Pocky? Pffft. Been around Asia for ages. ate it loads when I was a kid. You Yanks been missing out on loads of good shit!

    I wonder if this thread will continue its 170+ rampage now that yongfook has posted a new entry…

    tessa / July 21st, 2005
  177. Never!

    I mean… er… damnit.

    Maybe YF should make some forums. nod

    Sciby / July 21st, 2005

    JohnKFB / July 22nd, 2005
  179. …guess not.

    JohnKFB / July 24th, 2005
  180. I won’t agree with you twice (feel free to point out the irony)

    Ami / July 28th, 2005
  181. Why do you remind me so much of Hugh Grant? It’s not just the accent…

    Korova / July 30th, 2005
  182. awww Jon, don’t worry you have me, I still luv you…….even though I am MILLIONS of miles away, but none the less she’s probably a huge slag anyways, and I pity the twat that goes out with her next. Just think of it as a lucky escape ;)

    Tamy / August 4th, 2005
  183. Uh oh… reading this made me realize that perhaps i could have come off a little Franish at times… Now i wonder what guys say about me and how much they really hate me but i swear it was never my intention to hurt anyone, so please have mercy on Fran for she probably never thought that her actions could affect people so deeply, and yes maybe she did act selfishly, however it was probably due to her own insecurity. she might hav some mental cockroaches of her own. i mean how well do you really know that girl?

    Pikachu / August 13th, 2005
