Yeah, this was a real event, and I have the sense that the organizers didn’t have a clue how funny this, on a couple different levels. I don’t know if they’re having it again this year, but if they are, the entire Fist needs to go and take Pinky along.

ThumbStore has a new goal.

The MeatPod!

For a scant ¥6980 (that’s $67.50) you can have a degloved iPod!

$67.50 may seem a bit steep for an iPod sheath until you realize the rubber is modeled after fine Japanese Kobe Beef.  Three of the surviving women of Nagasaki spend 45 minutes per sheathe hand massaging the rubber to give it that tender Kobe Rubber Beef flavor.

The only drawback is that your MeatPod will only play Tool and Ted Nugent.

The guy pictured below is a chef who cooks, eats, and serves offal in his restaurant, and blogs about it. In this gory photo-op he is showing off a pig’s head somebody dropped off at his restaurant as a gift, along with assorted internal organs. Happy as a clam, he was, to get that nice, fresh, severed head.

Whether his clientele know that he serves them pig’s head, I don’t know.  It would not be deceptive to simply call it “pork.”

The following page, “A Daily Obsession,” describes a dish sold in Malaysia called “Ho Yup Mei,” which is nothing less than the assorted entrails of a pig, stewed and served with hot mustard. In short: stewed offal awful.

The author describes the dish thusly:

The offal was presented quite decently in little plastic containers. There were pig’s ears (I had that, but I kept wondering if pigs have earwax…), pig’s heart, pig’s lungs (had that too, the best), pig’s intestines (had one piece of that), pig’s stomach (that too), spleen (yes) and liver, tongue… this dish MUST be eaten with hot mustard sauce. And lots of guts (pun totally intended).

I keep forgetting to mention this as well.

I’m kind of lazy, and so in my efforts to find a phinger photo to use as my icon without actually having to take a picture of my own finger and all of the enormous effort of Photoshopping etc, i did what any other lazy American with an internet connection would do and I went to Google.

I Googled “Finger”, and while it isn’t up there anymore, the image that showed up in the three little images that they give you above the links on a “web” search was the 2nd one from the left on this page (apparently the guy that is hosting that image now made the same mistake).

The image was above the caption “Degloved”. So I did what any other dude with an internet connection would do, and I did a GIS with the word “degloved”.

Take my word for it. You don’t want to do a Google Image Search for “Degloved”

Don’t blame me if you click that link.

Thumb’s zombie rabbit made me remember this–

Death with Big Pointy Teeth

Oh it’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it? How could a cute thing like that bite anyone’s head off? Well, be warned – and be afraid. Straight from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail comes this furry harbinger of doom. Cute, furry, soft, and completely deadly. Look at those teeth – they weren’t made for vegetables. No, this rabbit has an appetite for only one thing: human flesh…!
