aikidoka1159 Member Registered: 02/26/05 Posts: 33 Loc: Florida, USA	maybe it was just a friendly reminder? anyways, are most hashi disposable or are there just as many permanent house-hold hashi like how we have knives and forks? along the same lines: i wonder if there are any plastic hashi?

Kintama Professional Poster Registered: 04/17/05 Posts: 2724 Loc: Massachusetts	I got to read you post kusojiji before it was removed...if you don't mind, I'll frame it so it is on topic: Q: "Is it considered bad manners to brag about being 'better than average' with chopstick proficiency?" Answer: Only if you do so without a sense of humor about it. ---- Yes, there are plastic hashi. also there are 'training' hashi for kids, thay have a hinge between the two making it much easier for little hands to manage.

Aww, that's so cute. _________________________ We should all take ourselves seriously...and then crumple that image up and toss it out the window.

harlan Professional Poster Registered: 07/31/04 Posts: 6662 Loc: Amherst, MA	Where can I get those? Is it bad manners to show up an expensive restaurant with your own pair of 'training hashi'? Gives new meaning to the term 'ugly American'. _________________________ http://www.traditionalfightingartsforum.com/phpBB3/

Actually, there was no question involved. Just an observation. One that I didn't think was offensive or off-topic. Who knew? _________________________ Optional signature you may use to appear at bottom of your posts. Note: The Signature feature is currently not enabled by this bulletin board's administrator.
