My efforts to make ramen *usually* don't involve setting stuff on fire, but obviously I'm not trying hard enough.

Oh wow, that was totally fun! It was an ugly gizmo, all kinds of wires hanging out, kinda raw looking but there were all these unexpected Japanese twists to it and the hysterical narrator. I loved that! Inspired to look up Rube Goldberg, I see the last contest theme in 2004 was To Select, Mark and Cast an Election Ballot.

dgaicun- What is the name of that song / rift? It is one of my favorite from my looney toons saturated childhood.

I don't know what song it is but I just realized that Rush totally ripped off the last riff in Cygnus X
