Gifts?
I get socks sometimes and I actually rejoice because socks are pretty fucking awesome.
Dumbledore was pretty much right about them.

>>8749948
I got socks and a jb hifi gift card from my grandparents, spent the card on a new mouse.

>>8749933
What's special about the knife anon?

>>8749953
Nothing special man, it's just a 20th birthday gift and I reckon it's a pretty decent knife once you run it over a whetstone.

All of those lame ass squiggles are jap letters

How do they read this shit?

>>8749976
Very nice, how sharp did yours come out of the box, mine came reasonably sharp but I had to run it over my whetstone to get it really sharp

>>8749986
Are you really that inbred?
>>8749987
It was acceptably sharp, but to be honest I haven't used it much. But will definitely stone it too at some point.

>>8749996
I've only used mine a few times so far since I've sharpened it and it cuts amazingly, it feels like I'm cutting air.

>>8750004
Hey want to hear some spooky shit?

You actually are cutting air.

japanese cuisine is odd to me . I want to develop a basic culinary concept so that I may actually do it myself. who should I adress for advice?
I've had the standard cali roll with wasabi and fried goods ... I understand its for the most part a raw food eaten with wasabi and pickled sides such as ginger, which I find remarkably tasty. I'd like more insight and so gravitated here lol , how we doing?

We get it, you're into Japanese shit. Now fuck off, weeb.

weeb shit ? the fuck. Irrelevant man. im talking food. not to offend anyone, tho If I mentioned the cali roll it was in perhaps a misconception of what I know to be the true cuisine of japan. as far as I know it was introduced to cali as something unique and exemplary as far as exhibition goes

>>8750036
No you fuck off, it was a nice gift from my father, I asked for a knife for my birthday and this is what he got

>>8749948
my mom has gotten me socks for every christmas and birthday at least since i was a teenager
i dont go through socks that fast. ive got like 40 pairs that are all perfectly fine

>>8750139
much success to you

>>8750133
People know I don't appreciate anything that isn't money or socks.
They try here and there and I appreciate it but I don't actually use anything but the socks.
I got about 30 pairs total for Christmas, I was a happy mother fucker.

If you've ever been homeless, they quickly become the most valuable thing someone can give you in front of food and water. I'm happy it happened to me because now everything I have and am given is gold. Puts a new lens on shit.

Thanks mate.
