Depending on the temp of the water and the force at which it is shot at your butt, the experience is completely variable. I can imagine non heated water in the middle of the night in winter would not be pleasant.

In SE Asia, it's goddamn mandatory, particularly when you consume as much hot chili/curry and beer as I do. Instead of chafing your asshole to death before walking out in to 34 deg.cel heat with 100 billion percent humidity, you get a cool soothing clean.

Some of them are literally as simple as a bent metal pipe hooked over the bowl and attached to a tap on the wall. Turn on tap, move butt around to get good coverage, brief dry and go.

I've not been to Brick Lane but there are similar areas in Chicago. Chinatown has endless Chinese restaurants on the south side. Devon Avenue on the north has curry place after curry place.

These exist for a few reasons.

First, immigrants often naturally group together in certain areas of a city. This is very true of Chicago if you study the demographic profiles. It is not surprising that people want to open a business in the community they live in and eat food they are familiar with.

Second, these streets become destinations in and of themselves. "Let's go get some curry up on Devon Ave (Chicago) or Brick Lane (London)." You may not even have a particular restaurant in mind - you just go there and see what you find.

I would guess that those restaurants are able to survive because they exist in a community where there is high demand for their goods.

Those businesses are competing with each other but there is enough demand for their product in one area that they can all stay open.

Going back to the beach analogy it is like everyone on the beach wanting a LOT of ice cream AND people travelling to the beach because it is known for its great ice cream (presumably they know how to make the best ice cream, curry etc).

Back to my earlier comment, restaurants do like being next to one another and they would prefer if the product is different. Why?

Imagine there are two retail spaces available in a town that has no restaurants. You want to open a curry restaurant in one of the spaces and sign a lease with the landlord to do so. Ideally you are the ONLY restaurant in town. If people want to eat out they have to come to you. Now the landlord wants to lease out the other space - what would you like to see there most? Another Curry Restaurant, a pizza place, or an ice cream shop?

I can tell you for a fact that fast casual restaurants in the USA love being next to a Starbucks because people got to Starbucks everyday. That means if you sell sandwiches people know exactly where you are. They see you everyday and you are right next door to one of their favorite establishments etc.

Then why does Brick Lane in London have an endless ammount of curry places? They all seem to think "Well this is obviously a good place to open a new curry place, since there are already so many here" instead of "oh no so much competition".

After spending a few weeks in Malaysia, I came to significantly appreciate the bent metal pipe in the few sit down toilets I got to use which points directly at el bunghole, with a tap to the side of the toilet. Turn that bad boy on and let soothing water wash away the burning chilli and curry from your screaming portal to the realm of Nurgle the poo, followed by a brief pat dry with just 2 squares of paper (not a lot of double ply over there, with a double or triple ply you could easily get the job done with 1).

You don't even need a proper bidet, I reckon a small metal pipe, some hose, couple of pipe clamps and you too could be riding the soothing rush of water cleansing your nether regions.

ps. The "portion cutting mechanism" really needs that *shrink shrink shrink* noise from a slasher movie, that motherfucker is going to town...

Rex Curry is the nation's leading authority on the Pledge of Allegiance. You're right to post the video. The video is completely accurate. The salute used by the Nazis was NOT derived from the socialist Mussolini. And the gesture was not based on the so-called "ancient Roman salute" because the "ancient Roman salute" is a complete fictional, as stated above.

Jacques-Louis David's painting "The Oath of the Horatii" did not associate the salute with classical Rome, and David never said such a thing, and the painting does not show the gesture, it shows three people reaching for weapons, including the use of the left hand. The Horatii lie is a very modern lie, fabricated circa 2006(?) on wakipedia in order to cover-up the Pledge of Allegiance's putrid past.

The socialist Mussolini did NOT adopt what he thought was the Roman salute.

No one should stand for nor chant the Pledge of Allegiance because it was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior (see the discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry). The early pledge began with a military salute that was then extended outward to point at the flag (thus the stiff-arm gesture came from the pledge and from the military salute). The pledge was written in 1892 for kindergartners to be forced to recite under the flag at government schools (socialist schools). The pledge was written by an American socialist who influenced other socialists worldwide, including German socialists, who used the gesture under their flag's notorious symbol (their symbol was used to represent crossed "S" letters for their "socialist" dogma -another of Dr. Curry's discoveries). The pledge continues to be the origin of similar behavior even though the gesture was changed to hide the pledge's putrid past. The pledge is central to the US's police state and its continued growth.

Thanks! A member in the No Agenda Facebook group said that Adam Curry mentioned it on a podcast but did not leave a link in the show notes. I thought that if it existed you would know about it.

Check Tim Curry in that film 'Oscar' (1991) -His role as linguist Prof Thronton Poole reminds me of this cat's adept renderings....Incidentally, Sly Stallone's best role to date, including the Rocky films the same in which his acting fondled ballzackz....

Man, that dish looks quite mouth-waterin', but it don't resemble no cookie-

(mmmm. Laaaamb curry...aaaaughhahlahgggllugggggh!-YUMMERS!)!

-Har. At first I thought you were makin' a pun all sweet on that beefy comedian version, that Joe Rogaine fella..

Ant, you are just so damn cute. I've never asked somone what their favorite food is and gotten such an extensive list (and even more impressive...it's in alphabetical order) as a response before. I thought you might say "italian food" or something like that. YOU ARE ADORABLE. Hey, isn't curry too spicy for you?

I'll feed you breakfast....let's have...french toast with sliced bananas on top instead of syrup. Sound good? What do you like to drink?

That's just the curry release valve outside the Indian take-away.

A major endorphin rush, and with a curry like that, one only needs a gentle push of the tongue on the roof of ones mouth to re-live the experience on demand for a few more minutes!

It is habit forming...like licking a battery (or so I've heard).

I always thought of Ann as the hottest curry.
