  • Memories of Hotmail

    My first GMail tragedy… Come on Google, you can do better than this!

  • Minivans In Japan

    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.

  • Mystic River

    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

    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 flat, there’s basically no effect…”
    Well, that’s innocent enough, right? Typical engineer-type daydreams, I imagine.
    Then: “I wonder if losing a leg is as painful for a centipede as it is for a human being.”
    Well. I finished my coffee in record time, my friends…
    Work issues. Gotta love ’em.

  • May the schwartz be with you…

    Fer chrissakes man, you forgot to use the time-honored meatplow:

    Must be Alzheimer’s, you dirty old bastard… Happy Birthday!

  • School of Rice

    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 ugly enough as it is…

  • A Faster 7 Series

    BMW740i.jpg
    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.

  • First Post

    This blog is dedicated to all things rice. So then, what is rice? You shall see, grasshopper, you shall see.

  • Earth to Politicians

    Now we start with the real hurt; time to break out the industrial strength can of Smear. I predict a scandal with drugs, hookers, or some such felony will break soon. Some possible headlines:
    Jenna and Barbara Sic Secret Service on Gay Rapper! As a Joke! While Stoned!
    Teresa Heinz: Godmother of John Walker Lindh Urged Him to Fight
    Curious George to Michael J: I’ll Watch Bubbles While You’re Gone, Baby
    Kerry, “Just a Cool Guy,” Sucked Glass Dick with D12 Backstage, Says Eminem.
    First Lady Owns Stock in Dutch Wife Co, Ltd.!
    OK, this is obviously a work in progress, but you get what I mean. At some point, it stops being a choice between two candidates and becomes a shit-slinging contest… In the end, nobody emerges clean.

  • Vitamin White

    Somehow, I suspect this wouldn’t fly in the states.
