Continuing with yesterday’s Built for the Kill theme (cue D&B), today I bring to you: Shark vs. Octopus

Go see the final result (actually, this is the final result in a sense; the bird doesn’t come back to life or anything): LINK

I have decided that the future capitol city of my empire shall be named Justinopolis.
City Codes of Justinopolis (work in progress)
1. Stupid people shall be shot on sight.
2. Second verse, same as the first.
3. Piracy – a serious problem (from a certain point of view) that we refuse to treat with ineffective laws (or confuse with terrorist activities).
4. Robots are cool.
5. Speaking of which, all AI scientists will be guaranteed a girlfriend.
6. Hacking good.
7. Faking bad.
8. Ministry of Information: D. Chappelle (he needs a new job)
9. Speaking of which: Independent reporting good.
10. Bicycles also good.

This one is for the Big Ho, who once wrote to me about his one-eyed cat and how it likes eating used Q-Tips:
WHY DO CATS LIKE EATING EARWAX ??
I personally prefer training my cats to eat used snotrags, but also to never accept any from strangers.

A tribute to everyone who visited/called this weekend:
The Undrinkable Cocktail
Thanks to you all for leaving the airag at home… Last night I watched the fireworks and slept very, very well.

Bathhouse murals fading fast in Tokyo
I’ve never been to a sento in Tokyo, but I’ve seen these murals in Shizuoka and Nagano. The one in Nagano was at an ancient bathhouse with a single medium-sized bath and rust-colored hot water trickling from corroded lead pipes. The room was lit with a single bare bulb, and besides our group, the only other customers were shriveled old ojisans who claimed the rust was good for their kidneys. All I know is that it smelled like old pennies, and I rolled around in the snow outside to wash the rusty coating off my body afterwards. The one Shizuoka was really funny because on the opposite wall was a window from which you could see the actual mountain depicted in the mural (Mt. Fuji).
Like most other disappearing forms of art, I find this extremely sad, but I’m happy I’ve seen the real thing.
BTW, they sell poster replicas of these murals at the Loft (at the Shinsaibashi branch, at least), but they are quite expensive (over 3,000 yen) IMHO.

Jesus Christ on a pogostick, didn’t any of these assholes watch Little Shop of Horrors?
