Cabin food for thought
I read this article this morning and can’t stop thinking about it: Terror in the Skies, Again? If you were the author, would you have gotten up and done something? If there really were air marshals on that flight, what the fuck were they waiting for? Perhaps they didn’t have “probable cause,” i.e., one of the “musicians” to emerge from the lav and ask another if they had more matches, “cuz the fuse is damp with ketchup.” I have this sinking feeling there were no air marshals on that flight, and the crew was simply going by the handbook to placate the passengers.

Conversation between me and my boss 5 minutes ago: /// Boss: Mr. Justin, what is deductive reasoning? Me: [Heh] Well, let us start with what it isn’t. It isn’t a fish. It isn’t a guitar.

This year’s vote for the most pitiful amusement park in Japan, on the top of Ikoma mountain.

Carcinogenic
Yomiuri Television’s massive broadcast tower located in the middle of the amusement park can be seen from miles around. I could just feel my sperm wilting like poisoned tadpoles.

Crazy Cat Doll
I slept next to this motorized cat doll, which would periodically mewl and walk in circles while its eyes lit up red. Or maybe it was all just a bad dream.

The filters on my new phonecam are sparse, but this one works pretty well.

Kotsu Anzen
In Japan, they often use these life-sized plastic highway worker effigies to direct motorists around road crews where a simple light would suffice. I always feel like abducting these insane dolls when I see them, maybe drag them behind my car for a few kilos then let them smash into a toll booth – after all, it is our tolls that are paying for this crap.
