Even before the boxes turned into cute animals, there was this unusual attachment to them--almost as if Pocky had sentience and a soul, and you were sharing your life with your Pocky.
Though really, your post probably summed up the sentiment better than any "rational" argument for Pocky could. -

damnit, still technologically challenged -
It might just be the name. Say it out loud - "Pocky!"

@ thewaltonsare - Yeah, that whole filling my abdomen with gas to look inside part ended up doing something reaaaaaally terrible to my lower spine. Something must have shifted, and when I came out of the anesthesia, I was actually sobbing in pain. I looked like this:
Dear Katie: I would freak if my camera was taken. You have my deepest empathy. -

rachæl if ever there was a look for FUCKING DISCOMFORT AND PAIN, then i think you are the poster child with that picture.... -
@SteadyUP massages with Nivea (blue box) and if it gets sore and rigid, apply silicon. Yeah, beats me but it’s something the doctor told her when the scar was getting painful.

@StSparky, I don't want to alarm you, but those dinosaurs are dangerously close to you and look hungry.
The man on the microphone behind me told me I was going to hell when I die. Right as he may be, I was drunk and decided to let my friends know he was a liar. -

My three-or-so day absence will now be explained; I turned eighteen and haven't gotten over the stage whereby I feel as if I don't drink at every available moment, I'm wasting it.
This was at someone else's... 23rd birthday party, I think;

@ Encephalo Ray - Happy Birthday mano. Take it in... It's all down hill from there. heheh
@ Astrocrat - ah yeah, I think that's what Joe Rogan had done a few months back. I think he even had a video or two made to show the first few days after the surgery. I think he said it was the best thing that he ever had done, that he could actually breath now, etc.
Yar, here it is. Its a video about deviated septum operation after effects... er somethin. I hope its useful.

@ rickiep00h: I think you're right, there is a weird love for pocky - for something that's essentially just another chocolate and biscuit snack food. You can probably put it down to the fact that it used to only be available in Japan and was imported to the West (so it's like the byword for snacks for geeky Japanophiles); the fact that eating stick shaped objects (see: breadsticks, Brighton rock) is actually really satisfying; the way that - as SteadyUP says - the name is fun to say; and finally the fact that pocky is really, really fucking delicious. Seriously, there are good cookies and bad cookies, and pocky's combination of biscuit stick and chocolate is light, delicious and remarkably satisfying. I know a lot of people who used to be dismissive of 'the whole pocky thing' until they actually tried it and were like "wow, this is actually really good". To be honest it's far from my favourite snack, but I certainly appreciate its many and varied delights from time to time. Also, how many other snacks do you know that have a flavour that has been designed to appeal to the sophisticated male palate?
And that's more about pocky than I probably should have written. -

I once had this verbal transaction with a friend while eating Pocky.
me: "man, whoever invented Pocky is a genius."
Chris: "That's redundant, because the person who invented Pocky is Japanese, and they're all geniuses...Except for the dumb ones, they're just really smart." -
@krakatoakatie
Oh, sweetie! I am so sorry to hear that. Both that you had your camera taken, and that it was taken from your home specifically. I know when my place was broken into it took a bit of time for me to feel comfortable in my own home again. You certainly have my sympathy. -

You forgot that it turns into a fucking penguin!

@celan: I don't know if I'd call left-handedness a blessing, at least when it comes to tracking down usable gear. here's me with the only bass I've ever bought that wasn't purchased sight unseen:

This is me with the check that made it so I'm finally profiting after spending $475 on Screw Jeff Owens Year One.
Edited to add: Oh noez! U can see mai address!! -

Hey, awesome, good for you! Do you mean that that's the first income the book has generated at all, or it's the first chunk after recouping the $475?

@SteadyUP - The first chunk after recouping. :) Rather, half of it was the first chunk. I'm about $30 up. Oh, and thanks! -
