Annoying beeps and auto-braking are quite possibly the most unwanted features I can think of, for a car. And yet: Toyota Computer Makes You Watch the Road
What we really, really need is a Remote Bitchslap Feature. That guy weaving across three lanes? RBF. The secretary type who can’t stop glancing at her PDF/keitai every two seconds? RBF. That ugly guy with index finger probing for salty green nostrilnuggets? RBmothafuckinF.
Warning: I will most likely be automatically RBFing every white Toyota that passes, just on principle.

The Pedantic Culinary
It’s not easy being a leading authority in the English-language realm of Japanese Fish Sausage, and yet, I feel I have accomplished something very important.
For my next project I had hoped to cover the plastic food replicas often seen in the front window of Japanese restaurants (and on sale in Doguyasuji), but someone has already done an excellent job of that: Delicious Vinyl: Japan’s Plastic Food Replicas
Another dream…
I dreamt of speaking with an Indian chief over a campfire. Unfortunately, it was not an Indian fire, but a “white man’s fire,” and it drew our enemies in closer and closer with its absurd largeness. They were taking potshots at us. Hurriedly, the chief passed onto me a buffalo horn and said simply, “you will know what to do with it.”
Then he started singing:
Hayayayayigh
See my arrows fly
Hayayayayigh
Over and over and over. An arrow pierced his heart, and he passed into the next world, content. I was left holding the buffalo horn.

The thing is, I know this song from my childhood, but I can’t remember what it’s from. Why so many vivid dreams lately? (That’s not a complaint, I just want to know why.)
Bachelor of the Year!
Goddamn fucking sicko.
It really wouldn’t surprise me if this guy was a spammer.
Poor little guinea pig.

HOLY SHIT.
My prayers go out to all.
SPAM was better as a canned pink meat
Some asshole spammer is spamming blogs with a link from my blog (details here). He’s spamming my readers/commenters, it seems. I apologize for this. I have nothing to do with the spam being sent. But I still feel very bad about the people getting spammed.
On the brighter side of things, SPAM spelled backwards is still MAPS.
And you thought cosplay was bad…
Now that I have your full attention, may I introduce: THE TOP 10 MOST RIDICULOUS BLACK METAL PICS OF ALL TIME (note: not safe for work, or anywhere else, really)
And speaking of blasts from the past, I downloaded three classics from my wasted youth last night: Willow, The Princess Bride, and The Beastmaster. Together with my Hawk the Slayer DVD, I now possess the keys to Greyskull! Gandaaaalf!
New Search Tool
Is it just me, or is Technorati hosed about 80% of the time? Anyway, I found a new blog search tool that’s proving fairly useful: Clusty the Clustering Engine
Yes, I know “Clusty” sounds more like a dingleberry-infested pair of undershorts than a search site, but they’re simply running out of clever names for these things, OK?
