TI was about the when the waiter went up to the over weight guy and asked: "How was everything sir?" The guy stood up and said, "Better! Better get me a bucket I am going to throw up!"
And he did all over the place! All over that fine looking young women when some fell on our food. Both my wife and son threw up too. The expensive restaurant became gross in a matter of seconds!


Stud, Ive seen that movie too. Mr Creosote in the last scene of The Meaning of Life. You forgot the cleaning woman that he throws up all over when mopping up his vomit.


Yes, but it was the chocolate at the end that did it.

Now I'm going to have to watch that movie again. I thought he exploded. Although I think last time I fastforwarded that part. It's really disgusting.

sloppy work gentlemen... I'll excuse you if you don't have a British passport. If you do, I ban you from the feifdom of Python.

It was a "wafer thin mint" which was the straw which broke Mr. Creosote's back. He then asks for a bucket which be projects across the room with a well aimed stream of hot vomit. He continues to barf while others in the restaurant join him. In the end, he explodes though he survives this and you get a good shot of his organs.

Mr. Death coming about the reaping has to be my favourite part of that film though...

... you Americans!

There is a chain called Freshness Burger here... I've seen it in Ibaraki-ken and Gifu-ken... They serve a "SPAM BURGER" Shocked I don't know about you, but a spam burger just isn't at the top of my list on foods to eat.. Ever.

My friend ate two in one day...and well, didn't eat much for the rest of that day or the next!! Very Happy

They also serve 7-UP Smile , which I haven't seen anywhere else except TGI Friday's in Tokyo!!

FRESHNESS BURGER is great!!! Even better than MOS Burger.
We have Denny's here in Chiba-Ken too, but I wish they had the breakfast items like in the US. Sometimes, I'd kill for a big-ass heart attack-inducing breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns, greasy pork products, and toast, accompanied by a big black cup o' coffee. Especially when I have a hangover!
I try to stay away from KFC and McDonald's but sometimes they get the best of me and I succumb. The last time I ate at the local KFC, I ordered a chicken filet sandwhich and asked for JUST A LITTLE ("choto") mayonnaise, and it took them over 15 minutes to do the order, even though they had chicken sandwiches ready!!!
I had lunch at El Torito in Shibuya yesterday. It was so-so. I really miss good Mexican food.

Their burgers do taste good, but they're so small. It doesn't even fill up my 3 year old.

Had the pleasure of watching the manager of a Royal Host use restaurant cutlery to clean the drainage grill between the dining area and the kitchen. :x

I'm pretty sure the spam buger thing is a taste sensation related to the end of WWII, but I could be wrong.

Have you checked the prices of tomatos here recently? A million yen is not far off.

Mr. Creosote asked for the bucket at the beginning to the scene when he walks into the restaurant. Remember, the waiter asked him, "How are you sir?" and he replies, "Better! Better get me a bucket...." You are right about the wafer thin mint.
Question do they have Monty Python movies in Japan? I have yet to see one at any of the vidoe stores I have membership.
