This might not be as funny to people who don't work around football equipment all the time but drat. Thanks for letting me share my cool Alibaba story.

Can you just tell me why this is funny? For all I know this is what fútbol players wear all the time and having checking on one leg looks snazzy. This looks like something someone mad max would kill would wear.

I like to think that each one of these stories was followed by a sigh and then a resigned but cheerful "oh well, that's life!"

"I was raped by Santa. Oh well, that's life!"

I'm assuming they're supposed to be entirely checked and that's what's funny, but I agree on the mad max thing.

It is like they have a brainstorming session to come up with the most outlandish headline and decide to use them all.

The noodles, sans flavor packet, are actually cheap and easy and work in some dishes - I have the America's Test Kitchen Quick Cookbook and they use them to speed up the rate you can make some recipes.

If you use the flavor packet you have already made a terrible mistake.

Someone needs to immortalize this in a plaque and hang it in an area where college kids and other assorted poor people can see this -- or, failing that, put it on a plaque and mail it to my ramen-munching sisters.

The sudden reminder that I have no fucking clue what I'm talking about
I once watched a drunk friend (who had decided to make ramen but was under a self-imposed "no open flames while drunk" rule) rip open the flavor packet with his teeth, shake it over the hard block of noodles, and bite into said noodles. To this day I don't know if the noise I heard was the noodles crunching, or his teeth breaking.

They're softer than crackers. What do you normally presume they make noodles of?

They're a little crunchy. We used to call raw ramen "hippie chips."

That isn't a tabloid its a 'womens magazine', stuff like The Sun is a tabloid.

All of the magazines are great, even better if they are the 2spooky psychic ones.
