The rundown of things ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija didn't get telophase:
A sushi pillow - 15 (39.5%). Nope. No sushi pillow. Besides, I can order those online over here, so not much point.
Mello's fabulous ass. - 9 (23.7%). Ah, if only.
Jell-O. - 1 (2.6%). No. Although she might have, if she thought about it.
Mortally offended Saiyuki voice actor Greg Ayres. - 11 (28.9%). Sorry, no. I don't think he'd stand still long enough for her to stuff him in a box and send him.
Bootleg anime. - 10 (26.3%). Nope. She has sent me bootleg anime in the past, though, so it wasn't entirely beyond belief.
A head. - 4 (10.5%). Bothrachelmanija and I are disappointed that so few people chose this option. Because she has, indeed, mailed me a head in the past. (I'd link to the entry, but it was sometime in the distant past before I started tagging.)
A pictorial explanation of the delights of Chinese men. - 16 (42.1%). Alas, no.
Sanzo. - 14 (36.8%). Again, no. (dragovianknight closes browser and slinks off in disgust.)
A strange little notepad with a chibi Sasuke and Gaara holding hands. - 18 (47.4%).rachelmanija did indeed send me a strange little notepad with a chibi Sasuke and Gaara holding hands ... but a couple of months ago, so no go on the Taiwanese souvenirs.
The rundown of thingsrachelmanija did get telophase:
Manga. - 4 (10.5%). Technically, yes. I am now the proud owner of volumes 2 & 3 of Onmyouji in Chinese. Sweet! The art is most excellent, and I could pet the inks forever.
Manhua, you nitwit, manga's Japanese - 10 (26.3%). I'd go so far as to say that Onmyouji is manga and not manhua, although it was probably called "manhua" in the store it was purchased from, simply because if I were to use a term in the way "manhua" is applied to all comics in the countries where Chinese is spoken, that term would be "comics."
A pictorial explanation of the origins of Chinese cuisine. - 7 (18.4%). Why, yes! I now own a manhua version, published in English, of the folk stories behind the origins of the names of a number of Chinese dishes. :)
A man in a very silly hat. - 4 (10.5%). I'm counting this as a Yes, because it fits in with Onmyouji. See icon, from the Onmyouji movie, for the silly hat in question.
A keychain - 5 (13.2%). Well, yeah. But not just any old keychain...
Reason #3423523 thattelophase is cooler than you: I now own ...
A solar powered keychain, as 15 (39.5%) of you guessed.
The keychain in question is, basically, a plastic rectangle that contains a couple of small solar panels and some circuitry inside, plus a picture of the shinigami from Death Note. What does the solar power do for it? Produce a light? No. Produce a sound? No. It blinks the picture off.
That's all it does. It does not store energy to power anything. It cannot be used to locate the keychain, or to illuminate the keyhole in the dark, or any of a myriad number of most excellent uses for a solar-powered keychain. It blinks the picture off. And it blinks the picture off, and not on, because when the solar panels/cells/what-have-you have been covered for a while, the picture stops blinking and stays on. There is absolutely no practical use for this whatsoever, other than, possibly, keeping your keys in the same place (and I suspect that that part of it will break off fairly quickly).
And that is whytelophase is cooler than you.

Do many Chinese dishes have sufficiently interesting names to make such a book necessary? Can't they just name their food "tomato soup" and "coconut cream pie" like other people?

Such is the curse of the engineer-mind.
(though the engineer-mind only ponders the what. Why one might want to make such a device is self-evident - because we can! *grin*)
