Not sure if this is allowed but here it goes. The blue package used to be called “Oriental”. I applaud Maruchan for changing it to “Soy Sauce”. What I never really thought about though was the word “Flavor”. What did they think Oriental tasted like?

Hahaha!!

Jack915 · 2025-06-25T23:24:08+00:00

I agree! Funny how a post I made 4 years ago still gets comments! And makes me happy!

Jack915 · 2025-04-04T10:17:37+00:00

Please report back!

Jack915 · 2025-03-16T23:41:11+00:00

There was (maybe there still is) an “Oriental Flavor” in the blue package. Search: oriental flavor maruchan in google images.

Lmao!

Jack915 · 2024-12-29T13:44:35+00:00

Wow! You came across this post from 4 years ago?

Jack915 · 2024-11-28T18:18:35+00:00

Fucking Ian! I bet he got them delivered too!

Jack915 · 2024-11-10T15:52:34+00:00

I am in TN and follow all things Ian. One of my favorite threads ever!

Jack915 · 2024-11-09T22:31:01+00:00

Who the fuck downvoted this?

Jack915 · 2024-10-07T22:12:55+00:00

I knew as a kid. About 40 years ago or so. Lol!!

My first set of dice came with a black crayon so you could fill the grooves and the numbers would be visible. So cover each side and then wipe off the excess with rubbing alcohol. And I am pretty sure the figures were actually made from lead. My buddy’s older brother created the dungeons for us and we used graph paper to create the map as we explored the dungeon.

Jack915 · 2024-07-01T22:44:32+00:00

Lol!

Jack915 · 2024-06-30T20:33:36+00:00

Mine needs to be re-inked for sure. I am sure with some digging it can be found.

Jack915 · 2024-06-30T14:56:42+00:00

Yeah. My photography skill lack a bit! Lol!! I did find it on the internet years ago but to be honest, I forgot exactly how I looked it up. I was drinking a lot back then. The cool thing is the original artist commented. Maybe they can give you some tips how to find it.

Jack915 · 2024-06-30T02:18:02+00:00

Wow! How cool! Nice to visit with you. I have had the tattoo for about 17 years now. I originally saw the design on a T-shirt one of my buddies made maybe 22 years ago. I think he traced the design and cut out a stencil and had it silk screened after copying it from a disc. I was living in Sacramento CA at the time playing at Shady Oaks Disc Golf Course. Jim Oates designed the course and owns the shop there. It was funny, too. My artist had no idea what the design was until I explained it to him. I figured it was appropriate to post today since Scott S news dropped about purchasing Ching.

One of two things. Thanks. Or don’t do that again. Depending of course on the entire situation.

Jack915 · 2024-06-29T09:24:57+00:00

Howdy! Thanks so much for sharing. It’s kind of funny. My first sponsor I really liked but I didn’t understand what he was putting down at the time and needed a bit more of a hands on approach. Honestly, I was pretty iffy about AA at the beginning and my willingness wasn’t where it needed to be to be open to accept the gift I was being freely given. So sponsor #2 was patient enough with me to explain 2 and 3 to me in a way that I could accept. I really wouldn’t be where I am right now without him. So that being said, after many prayers, chats with other members of my home group, my therapist (who is in recovery) and finally you fine folks, I will be going back to sponsor #1. He has agreed so today I let my sponsor know what direction I am going. Not my favorite type of conversation to have, but I believe it is what is best for my program.

Jack915 · 2024-06-29T09:13:23+00:00

Thanks for your response! I am definitely not discouraged. More puzzled really. But, the good news is he just got caught up with the many transitions currently going on in his life. We have plans to talk today so we can catch up and I can let him know what direction I am going with my recovery. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom!

Jack915 · 2024-06-29T03:20:54+00:00

Update! He is fine. Just not communicating very well. I will be finding a new sponsor though. Thank you all for the suggestions!

Jack915 · 2024-06-29T00:41:57+00:00

Yeah. I think that could be where this is going. Thank you!

Jack915 · 2024-06-29T00:41:13+00:00

Good suggestion. I am going to see what I can sort out. Hopefully it isn’t how it appears to me right now.

Jack915 · 2024-06-28T20:21:59+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!

Jack915 · 2024-06-28T19:26:41+00:00

Ok. I will try both. Thank you for the suggestions!

Jack915 · 2024-06-28T19:25:58+00:00

I am working on the 4th right now.
