I am making a pair of lounging/pajama pants, and am changing the inseams
from regular seams to french seams
(http://www.wikihow.com/Sew-a-French-Seam).

I watched Sailor Moon sub on Viz's neon alley, episode 120-something (of
which the dub is not available on their site, and I don't think that
episode has even been dubbed at all yet, at least not by Viz).

Well, anyway, with a sub I have to be looking at the screen to read the
subs to understand what is going on, but with dubs I don't have to do
that, and can rip the old seam, repin it with my new wonderclips, or
resew it without having to look at the screen.

There is a KFC across the street from me that I often eat lunch at, and
the other day I got to wondering something.

I know that KFC's second biggest market is Japan, due to the success of
their "Christmas chicken" campaign in the 70's (I think).

Well, I was wondering how similar the menu is.

Is the chicken "the Colonels original recipe" or has it been "made
Japanese" in some way (whatever that means in the first place).

Are the chicken tenders the same (if available at all), or are they
closer to Kaarage fried chicken.

The dipping sauces for the chicken tenders is either honey mustard, BBQ
sauce, KFC sauce, and I suppose you could use ketchup if you wanted.

In japan, are the dipping sauces the same, or are they something more
"Japanese," such as, I don't know, teriaki sauce.

In the US, or at least at the KFC across the street from me, the sides
avalable are mashed potaoes and gravy, corn, French fries (or "French
fry like objects"), and cole slaw (they used to have BBQ beans, which
was my favorite, but they no longer have that).

Are the sides the same in Japan, or are they something more "Japanese"
(whatever that would be).

The only other thing I can think of is that I am working on a new comic
for my yonkoma (could it be called an on-line doujinshi), but it is not
finished yet.

The E-mail associated with the account is a "spamcatcher" account that I
got to every couple of months to empty out, and anything sent to it will
not be seen for probably several months, if it is seen at all.

The standard chicken recipe isn't different. But other items on the
menu would be more than a little unfamiliar. The Kentucky chicken rice
burger sounds very bizarre as a ketchup soaked rice patty with cheese
between two fried chicken fillets. I think I'd rather have the Kentucky
fried salmon.
