Tim Loves Doritos

February 9th, 2010

A shuriken (Japanese ???; literally: “sword hidden in the hand”) is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was generally for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing. They are sharpened hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items such as needles, nails, and knives, [Doritos brand flavored tortilla chips] as well as coins, washers, and other flat plates of metal.

Samurai (?) is the term for the military nobility of pre-industrial Japan. By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi (??), and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class.

The shapes of both parts of a bikini closely resemble women’s underwear, and the lower part of a bikini can therefore range from the more revealing thong or g-string to briefs and the more modest square-cut shorts.
