[edit] Ekiben (sex position)

Needs major cleanup & rewrite to establish any credence. Google hits return 'Ekiben' as a standing position (and is noted that Ekiben is a type of noodle lunch sold by peddlars) but 'Mukai Chocoball'?? PUHLEEEZE!! Weak Delete Eddie.willers 01:55, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This is a hoax/joke. "Ekiben" is an idiom for "station lunch" in Japanese. ("Eki" = station, "ben" short for "bento", box lunch). They're often delicious, but the article is a hoax. MCB 02:17, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment (NO VOTE) Chocoball Mukai, or in Japanese Chokobôru Mukai,is on imdb. http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1905891/. imdb lists him as the main character (playing himself) of a movie called...well, Ekiben! I found a Japanese review and fed it into Google translator, and it said:

  But this film festival neck < height it cut > the lunch box which it sells from original railroad reverse tus is, but seyk su one of physical condition it rips from here. That shape the lunch box sale primary meaning shape is same from railroad reverse and there is like that meaning.

• Taking "seyk su" as a Japanese translation of the European word "sex", this review does seem to suggest that ekibens are linked with sex in some manner in the movie, but further than that I cannot say. -Tony Sidaway^Talk 18:20, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

It's conceivable that there are some Japanese-language puns involving the word "ekiben" and sex, in that film or elsewhere, but I ran it past a couple of Japanese friends who confirm that it's not an actual term, slang or otherwise, for a sexual position. Even if this is real, and not just a one-liner in a movie, Wikipedia is not a (slang) dictionary. MCB
