Nagano Torch Relay News

April 25, 2008

JapanProbe is running some good coverage of the Nagano torch relay. The Japanese police are heavily present and have banned the public from the start, midpoint, and end of the relay.

Finally #1

April 25, 2008

When I started this blog, I didn’t realize there was this anime out there called Ground Defense Force! Mao-chan.

More Sushi Abomination

April 24, 2008

The famous Koi in NYC has added another nail in the coffin that is real sushi. Their latest offering is the High Roller (I do give props on the name).

Butter that muffin.

Giant Hornet Honey And Other Curiosities

April 23, 2008

Many people know I like to venture into the strange when it comes to food. Sure I do have to draw lines because some things seem pretty fucking nasty, such has Balut, but I bet if you got me drunk I would be down. Same goes for Hákarl [video]. But let’s say that the local [...]

April 21, 2008

On average it takes an open wheel driver 33 races before they win their first. Well it has taken Danica Patrick 50 but now she finally won. So will people finally stop paying attention to her. But she is a woman blah blah blah…. I don’t care. It is like focusing on the horse that [...]
