Washing the Dog
Ah, America. Where people want to have pets but are too lazy to take care of them.
Apparently it’s the same in Japan.
Automatic Dog Wash
Poor dog. I used to work at a kennel, and just dumping water on a dog will not get it clean- you have to get in there with your hands and really [...]
In Communist North Korea, Cell Phones Kill You!
I hate cell phones. Sometimes I still work at the bookstore, and I fucking hate those idiots who stand in line yapping about stupid shit while you’re trying to check them out. I hate idiots who drive while babbling on their cell phones. Worst of all I hate the cretins who just absolutely have to [...]
World’s Shortest Man Dies
He Pingping, the world’s shortest man, has passed away.
BBC Article
This really sucks. Not only did he have to live with being less than 2 1/2 feet tall, he also died at 21. What an adorable guy, though.
Sweet Thai Tats
I love tattoos. I don’t have any myself (It’s not that I’m a baby about pain- trust me, after labor and a c-section I cannot be fazed, pain-wise- it’s just that I have other things I would rather spend my money on) but I like to look at other people’s. And if you tell people [...]
Mizuno Does Faith No More
Junko Mizuno, Japan’s queen of adorably fucked-up shit, has designed a promotional poster for Faith No More\’s 2010 tour. They broke up in 1988 but are getting back together, probably because they realized they can’t do anything decent on their own.
It’s not as adorable as a lot of her stuff but is definitely fucked-up.
Oooh, Weird
Galactic Heroes Live!
The anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes is probably one of the greatest anime never released in the U.S. Maybe because it’s about five billion episodes long. But it’s really great if you like space opera/military sf/incredibly complex plots/dudes in fringey uniforms with capes (and if you can find it subbed online…).
Here\’s a Better Description!
Anyway, [...]
Wakaresaseya
In Japan, you can hire people to seduce your spouse so you have a reason to divorce them. And they even have a job title that isn’t ‘prostitute’ or ’skank’!
Wakaresaseya!
Kuwabara approached the 32-year-old mother in a supermarket in Tochigi Prefecture, north of Tokyo, in the guise of a chatty stranger, and asked her if she [...]
Kid Gets Bullied, It’s Major News
So the adorable daughter of Japan’s Crown Prince is getting bullied in school. Not like that ever happened to me. In Catholic school. For about 5 agonizing years.
But my mom couldn’t exactly pull me out of school. Nope, I had to endure it until I escaped to high school.
What seems weird about this is the [...]
This Just In: Firecrackers Kill
So you know how your mom was always saying that you’d blow your hand off by lighting a Roman candle or two? How firecrackers were sooooo dangerous and that’s why you can’t even buy the good ones in this state and she wouldn’t take you to Indiana to get the good ones?
Turns out she was [...]
Shave It, Dude
Shapiro Keats: “Apolo Ohno got disqualified from a race!”
Me: “Why?”
Shapiro Keats: “They said no one with a soul patch that ugly was allowed to skate.”
Me: ^_^
MW Achieved!
So, remember that Tezuka manga I love, called MW? And how they made a live-action movie? Well, I just purchased it on DVD. Now I shall wait on pins and needles until it arrives in the mail and I shall watch and review it as soon as I get it.
Maybe not as soon as I [...]
World’s Cutest…Snowplow?!
Good God, even their snowplows are freaking cute!
Yuki-taro!
It gobbles up snow and poops out igloo bricks. When I was a kid, I had to fashion my own damn igloo bricks with my hands in mittens that got soaked in about 10 seconds so by the time I came in I couldn’t move my fingers. Which [...]
Mongolian UFO?
Two strange objects have reportedly crashed in Nowhere, Mongolia. Might be UFOs, might be jet engine parts. But if that’s the case, what happens to a jet when its engine falls out? Wouldn’t the crew have noticed they no longer had an engine?
Mongolian UFO
I think it’s probably a UFO. There is a large population of [...]
Off-Topic: Superman is Expensive
The first appearance of Superman (Action Comics #1, 1938) recently sold for ONE MILLION DOLLARS BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Damn!
As cool as it might be to own the very first Superman comic, in excellent shape, what the Hell do you do with it? Frame it on the wall? Stick it in a safe? I am not a collector; I’ve [...]
Cool Digs in Hong Kong
I want a house. Our apartment just doesn’t cut it anymore. We have too much stuff, too many people, and our cat is too fat. She takes up a couple square feet all on her own. It seems like I’m always tripping over stuff that we don’t have space to store anywhere but the floor.
And [...]
