True.

Japanese? Of course.

Clowns?* No.

(* including “clowny clown” clowns.)

    How adorable! It’s a R.O.B.. You can play Gyromite and have it prepare a California roll at the same time.

    I prefer Squid Scrotum over Octopus Balls, myself.

    I hear Eel Taint is where real flavor lives.

    I had octopus balls (or tako yaki AKA fried Octopus) before, and I got to say that the octopus portions are easily the best tasting part. The rest ain’t so great.

    Also, Japan makes terrible hot dogs. And North American hot dogs are already lacking.

    Soup Curry, however, is the food of the gods. But not the food of the gods from HG Wells food of the gods. I guess I just should have said it was very good instead of confusing the issue.

    Leave it to the Japanese to mobilize their engineering and intellectual firepower for the purpose of rolling rubbery sea creatures into spheroid food product.

    Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!

    I can’t help but chuckle that they put a little headband on the robot.

    It’s always the balls of some animal for you isn’t Bill?
    I personally don’t trust robots for anything but riffing.

    I fear the word “Balls” in your title has confused the ad server.

    Am I the only one getting a photo of an almost shirtless Zac Efron and a creepy (perhaps attempting sexy) Jonas brothers ad?
