Today the baby was born and I got a small tax return from the Japanese government that I was waiting for for two years. What are the odds? Plus, this…

Japanese Hyosatsu (Name Plate) in Thailand

    Purple Haze

    September 1, 2004 / 0 Comments

    I spotted this truck when I was hitchhiking through Nagasaki, but had only one chance to shoot it (cutting off some of the rear) as it rounded the corner and hauled ass to the expressway. I really like this trucks like this. The owner obviously loves it and takes great pride in it, as he should. I love seeing vehicles that are used as giant canvases. Whenever people are stuck in traffic next to this guy, his truck is sure to give them something interesting to contemplate for a while. This truck reminds me of The Porkchop Express from Big Trouble in Little China for some reason.

    A train of minivans, hailing from Fukuoka-ken, visits Ikeyama Suigen in Ubuyama-mura. I originally posted this in an earlier post here. Japan is one of the few places in the world where it is considered “cool” to drive around in your mom’s minivan.

    The ending of this film bothered me so much that I had to go looking on the net, totally convinced that I had missed something vital in the 0.5 seconds it took me to throw a tissue in the garbage there near the end of the film during the parade scene. Verdict: I didn’t miss a goddamn thing.

    Please, Make the Bad Man Go Away

    August 31, 2004 / 0 Comments

    So I’m on a coffee break and the guy next to me says, out of the blue, “I wonder how many legs you can pull off a centipede without impeding its ability to forage for food.” I’m at a loss for words, and I wonder if this line of thought has anything to do with the fact that he just got chewed a while ago out by the boss in front of the whole office for holding up production of a new product. A few seconds later, in the same monotonous patter, he muses, “I wonder if its like one of those 16-wheel tractor trailers… If one or two go…

    School of Rice

    August 31, 2004 / 0 Comments

    I proudly present to you the latest combined efforts of myself and my little bro: School of Rice The purpose of the blog is twofold; first to document rice in the sense of tacky car mods (such as bazooka-like exhaust pipes, homemade rear wings, and HKS stickers), and second, to document anything else we categorize as rice. In other words, I have not a clue, but am determined to make this new blog a success because I like the name so much. School of Rice. Maybe I’ll shelve some recipes there, too. Be sure to check out the uber-rice shot Adam posted today… The recent BMW 7 series lineup is…

    Spotted during a daytrip to Shikoku we saw many interesting things including a BMW 740i, stock in every way, except for the huge wing on the back. I can’t think of another unnecessary modification to an otherwise nice car that this guy could have possibly done. I can only imagine what he plans on doing next.
